We collectively need to provide more products and services that meet the needs of our community. We are in the early phases of this, but there is still so much potential.
The prices of Steem (and SBD) still feels highly speculative. We can't increase the value of Steem until we can prove that it has "real" value as an exchange for products and services.
That would be apps that provide value to theirs users and that cost STEEM or SBD to use. That's the best way to create demand for STEEM and SBD that does not depend on expecting the next guy buying them at an even higher price.
