Steem is currently fraught (unfortunately) with fear of lack of appreciation of steem price (however this is good for those who want to buy more steem) leading to large number of whales powering down either to reinvest in an ICO (most of which are scams) , altcoins or for personal use. Moreover, there is nothing wrong with an investor taking out some of his/her investment if there are legit needs.
However my concern lies in purporting that steem price will never rise up to the moon. This action, however, has led to disparity between deposit and withdrawal as indicated in @lukestokes recent Exchange Transfer Report: 8/20/2017 to 8/26/2017 - with over $2.2M heading out the door this week- I wonder what will happen to the price of steem if this trend reverse ie more deposit than withdrawal? (you know the answer)
Another issue is with regard to excessive supply which negatively affects crypto currencies prices -please see my former post for detailed analysis .Conversely, however, there is no need to worry with regard to steem because the future is very bright.
Why you should stop powering down and rather buy more steem now :
The upcoming Hard fork 0.20.0 which is known as velocity has 3 main priorities : Communities, Easy Onboarding, and a Mobile Application.
Easy Onboarding: the focus is on improving account creation and reducing the friction involved in signing up millions of new users and thus bring in millions of users and developers to the steem ecosystem. This will certainly drive steem price to the moon due to demand will be too much leading to price increases. The strategy include:
- Burning STEEM for Account Creation to Prevent Abuse: presently new accounts are funded with initial steem power in order for new account holders to have the minimum steem power needed to transact in the blockchain. However this has led to automated abuse of the sign up process to yield free steem to attackers concomitantly with spammers creating multiple accounts in order to acquire free steem (some have 4000+ accounts used for up voting scams –see my former blog posts for details)- this also increases the cost of sustaining the protocol. Furthermore, another limitation is that when a member power down fully he/she will be locked out and thus be at risk of losing access to his/her account which is a disadvantage. Therefore, burning STEEM on each new account (terminating the token and getting rid of them from the total supply ) and crediting the account with permanent minimum bandwidth will take care of all these limitations. Moreover, this will also take care of the issue of excessive supply –( Please see my former post) which negatively affects steem price.
Moreover the update will include other new new changes:
- Discounted Account Creation.
- Remove Account Creation with Delegated Steem Power.
- Remove Vote Dust Threshold
- End User Impact
Pls see @steemitblog for full details including technical notes
Community Building : the new update will encourage more community building just like @teamaustralia : steemit fastest growing community -which will lead to more networking .
Mobile Applications: Ability to continue steeming whilst you are on the move. Even though we have a great mobile app : eSteem , steemit android app which is in its final testing phase as indicated by @sneak will be a game changer .
Conclusion: in this article, I outlined the reasons why some members are powering down their steem and indicated why it is a bad idea. Furthermore, I discussed about the upcoming .20 velocity Hardfork which will lead to improve user experience plus open the flood gates for millions of new users leading to increase in steem price. Imagine what the price of steem will be if steemit reaches 500+ million members in few years’ time and each account creation burns steem? It therefore, makes better sense not to power down your steem rather now is the time to buy more steem and power up.
What do you guys think?
• Good point, I will buy more steem and power up
• I agree with your analysis but will add the following poin / points
• @charles1 Stop writing nonsense; I do not agree with your analysis-in fact, I am done with steem and steemit and will power down!!!!

Good points here, but none of those things will have an much of an impact as bots on Steemit. As long as bots can sell their votes, curate, and other things that bots do, too big a percentage of author and curation rewards will go to bots. And as long as those bot creators are selling that Steem, price will struggle to recover.
I love Steem the platform, but I don't see the value in investing in powering up. And you don't have to be powered up with a lot of money to use Steem.

Good point @financialcritic however steemit is the best social media platform outthere with regard to rewarding contents and it is still improving -far from perfect. Bots are a problem however gradually there will be solution to it-not perfect but am sure that something will be done especially spammy bots. This is one of the disadvantage of technological innovation. I am , however , optimistic about the future of steem after the updates and am sure that your steem power will make you very rich if steem reached 1K in few years time.

I love the platform as well. However, I am surprised, speaking anecdotally, how hard it is to get folks to try Steemit. Then out of those that do try it, very few stay. I brough people over that made over $100 on posts...then they worried about it being a tax scam or some crap lol. I dont know what Zukerberg puts in the water supply, but you cant get people to give up FB no matter what.

I am sure we haven't seen the best of Steem yet. The changes that are planned surely will bring a better platform. Why would someone power down if they don't need the money, I don't understand. More power gives you more income, so no matter what the price is, powering up it is!

Mobile app? I've only accessed Steemit on mobile, though the esteem app has never worked for me, I use it in browser.
I hope they add the same in app video support as they have for photos.
I'm interested to see what communities does, but can't figure out if it will start pigeonholing everyone or simply simplify finding common thinkers?
Definitely think now is the time for minnows to grow, whales are cashing out to drive the price down for the next buy. A low steem keeps the leeches off the field, reserving it for people who would be here without dollar incentive, then when the next bull run comes, those people will succeed the most.

I believe your analysis is correct, I believe your solution is way way incorrect.
Serious investors are only going to keep money in a project as long as they can see genuine project growth. Steemit is an awesome platform with a great idea. However people are only going to buy so much to be able to utilize the platform. You rely on bigger investors and earners holding their coins. That won't happen. Everyone is always going to cash out until the money is depleted... 100% of the time. You will not in the long term bring in more than you pay out.
This is why serious investors will eventually drop the coin. I am saying this in hopes that you guys fix some of these things. You need things outside the sale of the coins themselves to bring in money.
A MASS call to action to encourage people to signup anonymously as I did is would be a great start, as they spend money to create the account itself and it isn't so much the "freebe".
I would also suggest creating some features like they have on medium and offer people the ability to create more of a "publication" where they can organize their own posts by categories, chose from a few layout templates for their blog pages, and add a link offsite (would be great to encourage project owners to publish whitepapers and such here) - all for a fee of course.
Further an option allowing them to register domains and properly point them at their blog pages (last I knew there was a 1 time $300 fee on medium for the domain feature).
These are just a few suggestions on ways to bring in money outside the sale of the coins themselves. If you genuinely want to keep big dollars in your coins, you need to give reasons to keep money in your coins - and growing from outside sales is the best way to do that.

My goal is to get to 1000 Steem Power. Once I get there I'm going to take out my Steem to pay myself back for money I've put in, and once I get my initial investment back I'm going to go back to powering up 100% of the time.

I like the point where STEEMIT will improve in community building. I think that what and where it should be. Organic and authentic growth. Im from Davao City, Philippines and there aren't a lot of steemians here...YET! But encouraging people here to do steemit and contribute to such a great platform is both rewarding and fulfilling! I have a goal of educating 200 people about steemit and the updates listed above are exciting! Thanks for writing this post!

Love it!!! I totally agree!!!! That's the reason that I started, because Steem in the long term will become on of the most expensive Crypto currencies!!! And the reason is because, therre are social media actions, behind the currency!!!

Great post. I recently started powering down not to sell my Steem as I will hold it in liquid Steem just in case the behavior that I have been seeing on the platform lately continues.
What caused me to power down in the first place was the fact that I have seen a few members within the Steemit community with a lot of Steem Power abuse that power by downvoting someone's content because they simply did not like the person who also invested in the platform.
My thought process is this if it can happen to that person it can happen to any of us. I like the Steemit platform but I do not like the type of activity that I have been seeing from those at the top that control a lot of Steem Power.
I'm hopeful this type of nonsense doesn't continue as if it should I will then be forced to just cash out as this is a recipe for disaster and it will not sit well with those that do not have a lot of Steem in the long run.

I agree with you @mrwalt and wrote about it in my blog post about Downvoting . However I tend to concentrate on my mission here : gradually and prudently accumulating steem before it goes crazy in price hike . I will not let anything or person demotivate me in my mission . When steemit opens the flood gates (as indicated in this post ) there will be millions of members and where there is big money to be made, there will then be a lot of greed, scams, spams and people with steem power (a lot of steem power ) will rule and some will use their power to intiminate others ( unfortunately, human nature just like in politics and industries).Now is the time to seal your power and gang (lol) in order to be on the same side.

I agree with everything you said, but my hope is that a few do not ruin the platform for the herd as it can easily happen. Once Steem gets a real competitor and people have other options if this culture is still taking place it will not be good for the platform.
Trust me I believe in the platform else I would not have invested in it, but at the same time I will not allow my money to be squandered away be the actions of a few if I see that their actions are effecting how people perceive the overall platform.
I'm still very high on Steemit but until this gets fixed or should it not get fixed and if the inmates continue to run the asylum without any boundaries I will hold my Steem liquid. This is just in case they do something that the platform will not be able to recover from.
Believe me I like Steemit and I feel that it will be successful especially when people are able to join in the mass, but as an investor I still need to keep both eyes wide open.

excellent points! I do see a great future in Steem as it goes mainstream and more users sign up, I potentially see it as direct competition for facebook and twitter along with a sort of stock/bank (storage of wealth)as a way out of the "system" as corruption of banksters and government continue to come to light around the world and to fight dollar devaluation, not enough ppl are awake to that scenario yet . It offers a good deal of versatility even in it's early stage. I do want to buy some in the near future, I am not rich, so it will be a slow buy along with being prudent with my purchases of it for now. Anything I gain from posting , Iwant to keep within the platform for the longhaul. The draw back, all the plagiarism, bots and spam problems will get much worse as the platform grows to millions of users unless there is a way to manage deceitful behaviors beforehand.

Good information. It is sad to see. Apparently there is a lack of confidence in either Steem or Steem Inc or both. Just like in fiat banking, confidence is everything. Remember the 2008 collapse of Lehman, Merrill, AIG.
Just think of all the new accounts and activity it would take to replace one weeks worth of sells. I hope the HF helps. Personally I power up half my earnings and take out half as a hedge. Followed :)

Good point @old-guy-photos 50/50 strategy is great in order for you to be able to use the other gains as you please. Those who leave steemit now will regret it by next year ..never underestimate the power of crowd!!! when steemit open its gate to crowd, price of steem will go waco way high and you will be very rich when steem reaches 1000USD in few years time. Call me crazy but I know how viral a good social media can go especially one where people can actually earn something.

I don't know if I'll buy steem (unless with my SBD which I'm already doing)... but this update seems interesting....
So, if I understood correctly... you can't create account unless someone spent their STEEM to invite you?! if it only was 0.5 to 1 SBD then I'll be glad for this decision!!
