i think the most problem is we need more news from developers, usually all coins benefit from news of developers and coin price go up, no news for long and coin go down. Like we had news of smart tokens > steem go up, we havent any big news from steemfest coin go down. Second problem is blocktrades , because he is exchanger of coin , we not using bittrex,poloniex, but more value there and more people buy sell/ more coin is going up , because of him we lose a lot. Than there is problem of stagnation - we need like more traffic from just google, so we need contests like to attract more people , so need quality keywords and articles, so people come to our site, not just copy pasta shit from users and upvote bots . So i think this steps can definetly help steem.
