Everyone buying and selling creates price discovery and ultimately our shared understanding of value.

I won't give you trading advice, but I would suggest you don't under estimate the real value of utility: <a href="https://steemit.com/discussion/@lukestokes/do-cryptocurrency-speculators-fear-utility">Do Cryptocurrency Speculators Fear Utility?</a>
Also, don't confuse STEEM with Steemit: <a href="https://steemit.com/steem/@lukestokes/steem-is-not-steemit-steem-is-more-valuable-than-steemit">STEEM Is NOT Steemit. STEEM Is More Valuable Than Steemit.</a>

When you say "the mindset" I assume you're talking about Steemit and people's comments on a social media site. STEEM is _so much more_ than that.

Riddle me this Luke, and do not take this wrong, just take as is.
If steem is so much more then that, why is it 37 cents and sinking? 
I know on this place realists are not much liked or appreciated, just saying!

Steem has no value added whilst ned holds all the tokens in his alt accounts like mrdelegation, val-a val-b etc etc etc he has multiple account syndrome. 
And his vision of networking in the white paper being a joke, when hf20 made it impossible for new people to have a voice, ned had his money, and seriously he needs to "fuck off!"

Did you read the post I linked to in my reply? If so, you have your answer. The Steem blockchain is providing real functional, utility value. Most cryptocurrencies are just speculations about some belief in a future value.

I’ve met Val, by the way. He is (or was) an early Steemit employee. It’s funny you think he’s Ned or that one person controls all the value of this blockchain. Yes Ned has a lot of stake, but he doesn’t vote with it. He also helped organize the people who built everything you see here. I’m not personally a fan of how he does some things, but I respect the result.

Sell away if you think that’s a good move. I remember buying STEEM at $3 and $4 in 2016 and watching it go to $0.07. I have no regrets. I see the value here.

That is my whole point Luke.

This place is cult like, regardless of reality, regardless of people losing millions of $, you have to sell the cult!.

I moved away from the city, because the moral majority agreed with being watched by big brother, I even moved 4 countries away from them, I do not like following them, the moral majority, If the product was so fantastic it would indeed sell itself, it does not, and a lot of the apps do not even function.

New users have to pay to play, if they join now they are limited as to what functions they can do (hardfuckup 20) & That will stunt growth to the point of no repair will be doable.

The comment police on here got their day, achieved their crowning glory, and that ultimately reflects directly in steem price. which is 31 cents today and falling faster than the titanic sank!

Thank you for the confirmation regards to VAl, as he was bragging early days about investing all of his money here to get others to buy in, Interesting to now know 100% he worked for here.................
