Please reply, starting with either "Yes" or "No". I'd like to hear from as many of you as possible, so reblogging and commenting is much appreciated!
There's been a much too short discussion about whether the value of the Steem currency is directly linked with the number and quality of the posts here.
I believe it is not. Steemit is just a social network, which could have chosen any fiat or crypto currency. The fact that Steemit uses Steem increases investor confidence in it - which will further increase, the more products and services use this currency.
We have no impact on the value of Steem, whether we post articles or sell smartphones. Now, if we offer military grade uranium only in exchange for Steem, I'm certain the price will go up noticeably.
In other words, the price of Steem will never go up, until we offer something unique in exchange for it. Don't forget why Bitcoin became so popular!
