You all must have noticed that the rewards on all our posts have significantly lowered, the reason for it being the falling price of Steem, It is to be noticed that since the last month the prices are regularly dropping with an angle of 30 degrees to 45 degrees. The prices have slashed from 2.35 $ to 1.22 $ in just a month that is around 50 % drop, In any currency 50 % is a huge drop. https://preview.ibb.co/gxHEvF/graph_36929_1280.png Well not getting into technical details let me give you a basic understanding of when the value of any currency drops. The value of any currency will drop when most of the people holding the currency will start selling it, as simple as that: ![1.PNG](https://steemitimages.com/DQmZSPoRKDz7dCdZfPinCdi41p8g2RBCuaUMNqb726moScA/1.PNG) So why is the price of Steem dropping? Well the reason it is dropping is you. Yes it is you. You who do not believe in Steem, who do not believe in the power of Steemit community, did you know that there are 254,009 users in Steem? And now would you please try to guess the number of inactive users or so called dead fish? Well as per the daily Steemit report by the amazing @arcange there are 203917 dead fishes, can you believe that? 80 % of total Steemit population is dead fish? Do you know that you might have gotten your Steemit account for free but it did costed Steemit real money to create your account so, all that money paid for creating all these accounts was wasted? ![U5drxacRA3Ay4eF8uFVx6Xdmp9ZKa9N_1680x8400.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYhs1ZXD4d8DeoLAhNe9Y6DsJL7HDNKuY19P8cGYkmJEB/U5drxacRA3Ay4eF8uFVx6Xdmp9ZKa9N_1680x8400.png) There are many people in the Steemverse who come here, suddenly get rich and since they don't believe that Steem is real they take their money out and convert it into bitcoin or a fiat currency. Most of the members do not believe Steem is a real asset, Instead I have seen many members who have transferred out their Steem after just 1 month of their first post . Being selfish is the real reason price of Steem is falling down, isn’t it? Now do you think if old time Steemers like | @acidyo | @papapeppers | @roelandp | @kaylinart | @trafalgar | @craig-grant | @firepower | @doitvoluntarily | @timsaid and many more who have dedicatedly given there time and resources to steemit would had thought just like you would you have ever been gotten a chance to be here ? ![DQmSCTaREWbgMCEzZ32ZTChdWyVoTCLj3d72XXrftD5bxUt_1680x8400.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmYpnRSbPywma5nptWpntKGbNW6UkRwfEgpPP93es4svGi/DQmSCTaREWbgMCEzZ32ZTChdWyVoTCLj3d72XXrftD5bxUt_1680x8400.png) Now I am not saying you should never take out your Steem, ofcourse you should use it if you need it after all it is earned by you only, but also do realize your responsibility in contributing to Steemit, by creating amazing content, curating or voting others content and of course spreading knowledge about Steemit in any and every way you can. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- P.S - Think of Steem as something of a very long run not just a sprint, with the rate of Steem falling like this you existence in the crypto world has been challenged! Are you going to face that challenge and win or are you going to lose just by being selfish? --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
