a lot of valid points. when i see other marketed tokens and SMTs (that do well and gain in value).... i realize that Soooooooooooo much of where the crypto scene is right now (and let's face it, most consumed goods) is just based on who can market better-- the populace, as a whole, doesn't understand it (most of the people who bought in during the bitcoin craze probably don't understand it!). why the steemit team isn't working this angle (and it's not just an angle, there's an incredible product behind it and it's only gaining in value) i do not understand either. sure hope it picks up here soon!!!
