With the current mindset, it will only going down to oblivion.

Not a single "big player" can't figure out simple math:
There is X coins pumped into the system every day, worth about 10-15k $ at the current rate.

Those 10-15k could be easily given to some influencers (take some from Patreon) or already successful websites (GuruShots, eRepublik, whatever...), or real marketing experts or any reasonable expert.

How many of those could be hired per day? The math is simple, about 50.

Instead of taking some experts, we are recapitulating fallen East-European economies from the 1980's.

If you want to turn your 1.000.000 Steem into 3 Million $ instead of 0.3 Million, go there and:

• bribe some exchange to put STEEM on ATMs
• make a contract with RT, they are already here, and publish it. Lough!!!!
• find a popular website and give them a contract to upvote them with 1.000.000 power/day (500$)
• find several influential people on Patreon and - be their Patreon (if they mention Steem)

Be professional, stop living in that echo chamber and wake up
