I ...know jack squat about crypto currency, but I am well learned in understanding human behavior. Crypto currency isn't going away, Steem isn't going to drop to zero, and all the hand wringing is by people who neither understand Steemit, crypto currency, nor human behavior.
1-we are several year into crypto and steemit, not several weeks, there is too much smart money involved already, and smart money knows what is going to grow and how to grow it.
2- Steem is connected to steemit, which is a social media platform, which provides a service. It could exist and grow as nothing more than a cryptohybrid of patreon. People spending their time bitching and panicing would be better served by resteeming good content so that new people see interesting things on the feed...instead of people whining in crypto jargon. AND sharing the steemit content on other platforms. As fast as FB overtook Myspace, that's how fast Steemit can overtake FB. and as that begins to happen up goes the price of steem.
but frankly...all the people who are yaking about leaving...good..get out, you're a hindrance instead of a help. For the growth of Steemit, ten of you aren't worth ONE new person who is enthusiastic and posting quality content. Take your cookies, throw them out, eat them all at once...I could care less. other people are coming to make more cookies.
