This is an interesting discussion. I am new, so unsure what’s going on, but I hope more people come into Steemit and they buy Steem to power up. As a newbie I am saving my money to buy Steem each payday because I think its at a low price. I don’t have a crystal ball and it certainly could go lower. I was encouraged by my friends to join Steemit and I am sure this word of mouth introduction to Steemit is taking place on many continents right now, such as South America and Africa, as one of you mentioned. The world is hungry for a better deal then trading time for money and for some this is the better deal.
