The value of Steem is supposed to be based on the social media platform built on top of it. But there doesn't appear to be much that is attracting potential users to the site - other than the possibility of making money. With the price continuing to plummet and SBD payouts being halted for now, that incentive is losing its luster. Can we expect some of the desired and needed features any time in the near future?

User facing features are being actively worked on by 4 full time engineers. Among these include a next generation editor that is fantastic! Image uploading and notifications are also almost done. We should be deploying these features to a public test later today.

That is great news! I think the drop in Steem prices with no bottom in sight, and SBDs no longer being paid out in rewards for posting really has the morale of the Steemit community pretty low. Are you guys going to comment on that in the near future, or announce any plans that might rectify the current downward spiral which appears to be gaining momentum as it falls?

Supply and demand will reach parity soon. One of the challenges with Steem Power is that those looking to cashout out are forced to do it over time. This means they cannot "dump" it all and drive the price down quickly (or prevent it from rising quickly).

At some point the price will fall to a level where the early miners are no longer willing to sell. At that point things will consolidate.

Being one is singular, to say I'm 'one with' something else, that's two.

TIME is the highest value in life, and being NOW I always have enough money.

Being the most righteous, evil is nothing but a joke.

Using steemvoter my curation rewards went from less than 5 steem per day to more than 30 per day. Using a bot requires skilled human curation management of what authors to vote for, how much voting power, and time to vote. Steemvoter takes curating to a much higher level, and more fun. If you set yourself up to use steemvoter, please add me to your list of authors to vote on :) http://steemvoter.com
