Basic Game Theory: Why Steemit Whales Won’t Sell Past a Certain Point

Another reason why price is dropping is because the whales are all powering down which creates more of a steem supply. They are adding steem to the market and supply is greater than demand.

They are, but this could be seen as a good thing because speculators and those who arent whales already will be buying, thus spreading the wealth around and creating more people with the ability to do meaningful curation.

I agree with you here, it's often easy to get trapped into only looking at the decisions of others from your own perspective. This is a big game with lots of moving parts.

supply is greater than demand

Supply meets demand. Each transaction has a buyer and a seller in either side.

I think that the market moves echo a fundamental change: Whales powering down are debasing STEEM.

and people cashing out of steemdollars are doing the same thing. Luckily, those holding their steem in STEEMPOWER(SP) are not being debased as they are largely protected by holding SP.
