How STEEM's price decline affects new users

Receive all and all my most cordial and sincere greetings once again. I have been somewhat absent since my beautiful daughter was born as a result of the loss of sleep and work. But from time to time I can come in to write something with the heart for all of you. I am amazed at how much the price of STEEM has fallen since I was slightly absent, it is a fall of more than 50% and of course this has to do with the decline of the BTC that drags the other currencies but the fact is that STEEM has dropped and the consequences not only affect the amount of dollars we have for each STEEM but also the way rewards are perceived on the platform. In today's article I would like to carry out this analysis and assess how this affects us all and how it can make growth harder for new users.

How the steems in possession have been affected

Maybe my point of view is a little irrational but I think steem holders have not been affected at all by this decline unless they had planned to sell their steems by this time and have invested a considerable amount of money when the price was higher. Otherwise there have been no losses because steem is still steem and if someone has 1000 STEEM no matter what the market price, will always have 1000 STEEM, then if the numbers are the same we should not talk about losses because the cryptos can go up or down, all decides time.

In particular I think this is temporary and I think things will be better. I don't see the fall of crypto currencies as something catastrophic but as an opportunity to invest. This is what the big steem headlines did when they invested when with one USD they could acquire up to 10 STEEM and then they obtained big profits and consolidated positions within the platform.

Frustration for new users

Aquellos que inician en la plataforma sin ningún tipo de inversión son los que siempre la tienen más difícil. Para nadie es un secreto que actualmente no es suficiente sólo un buen contenido, es necesario darse a conocer, trabajar mucho y esto toma tiempo, creo que la cantidad de steems otorgados para los nuevos usuarios cuando steem comenzó era una bastante generosa, hoy en día se da solo una delegación de 15 STEEM que fue decidido cuando STEEM valía 6USD y con 15SP se podía dar un voto de 0.01$, hoy se necesitan mas de 200SP para un voto similar sin embargo steem sigue delegando 15SP que dan menos de 0.001. Recordemos que las recompensas menores a 0.02 se redondean a 0 así que se necesitan por lo menos 20 votos de un usuario nuevo para cobrar el mínimo de recompensas. Pero los usuarios nuevos tienen baja reputación y dificilmente llamen la atención de otros usuarios, así que con la baja de steem el camíno se hace más difícil para ellos.!!

Lo único que puedo decir es que la perseverancia tiene recompensas y los que se mantengan firmes en STEEM hoy pueden convertirse en las ballenas del futuro.! Saludos y bendiciones, gracias por leerme una vez más.
