RE: Why is the value of Steem coin decreasing?
Hi. Since the breakaway of Hive Steem value has been stagnant or decreasing. It must be related to that event somehow. I'm hanging in there. Noticed you are taking up painting pretty seriously. Nice.
Both Hive and Steem do the same, fighting the decrease of the coin, but the main problem is if people keep draining and no one invests.
A solution? No idea. The little ones cannot save the coin.
As far as I understand, SBI is burned to help push Steem up.
It distracts me if I paint. What else should I do to kill the (old) days, except for staying in bed?
How are you doing? Are you scribbling?

Not sure how it all works. How safe the whole thing is. Ever since I got hacked and they stole my stash of SBD I'm super leery. Kind of lost my enthusiasm. I am just upvoting here and there and seeing what others are doing..... By posting and commenting the coin is created? How does the coin get used? Can it buy things? I guess it can be traded for other crypto and for government regulated currencies. What does it mean people are draining? cashing out? Thanks for your response. Good to hear from you. I'm designing a fancy greenhouse/gazebo thing for a special plant. meditation area...
The coin is created when the blocks for the blockchain are made. The servers of the witnesses transport all the data with these blocks, and a part of them also make those blocks (and coins).
The more coins are used, the lower the value. Stopping the creation of Steem is possible if servers are shut down, but this also means the blockchain falls apart.
An option to get and keep the value high is if Steem is hodl or bought and hodl. The more is sold (this you also do if you exchange it for a different crypto) the more the value drops.
The big whales and scammers take a lot of Steem and add nothing to keep the value high. They all sell steem sondoes everyone who takes it to live from and always powers down.
Burning Steek didn't work since the biggest wallets did not join.
Now SBI is burned. Not yours, not mine, but the SBI that has never been paid out. It could be exchanged for Steem or something else, but by burning it, it is taken out of roulation which means: fewer Steem and hopefully a faster result of it comes to the value of Steem.
Hive deals with the same issues and had a hard fork but they also control the platform more if it comes to scammers.
Thank you. That helps. I love the Steemit platform. Great people. Creative. Atistic. Thoughtful. But where is the light at the end of the tunnel?

P.S. I love to see the results of your greenhouse; who knows, I might build one too.

The light at the end of the tunnel? It's hard to tell. If we are unplugged, the entire world is (blackout) there's nothing left except for what you have in your home/pantry. This counts for crypto but also for you bankaccount, the connections you have using internet/wifi...

True. Some things are more volatile than others. The value of gold and silver fluctuates too, but it is something you can hold in your hand and compared to other things of value has a history of stability. It too can also be stolen, nothing in this world has permanence. Just some things involve less emotional stress. Some people are enlivened by the volatility, risk, while others seek the least amount of volatility. 99% of all day traders in the markets lose. Everything is a gamble. I'm counting on being able to take the next breath. But.... maybe it won't come. At some point I'll see how to "spend" time on Steemit, and in the meantime hope it survives the ups and downs and that I get that next breath. Stay safe.. Love you...

Gold and silver also have a downside. You can say you can hold it in your hand, but generally speaking, you don't actually get your hands on the gold or silver you invest in, at least not here. They store it in a vault in Switzerland or something, and we know that Switzerland is where all the world's leaders and the richest keep their money and assets (which is why that country is certainly never involved in a war and is considered neutral, right?). When you talk about that gold necklace or silver bracelet, you can indeed hold it in your hand, but how many people still have those? And then there's the question: who will buy it at its true value if you're in need? The pawnbroker? Imagine we've all invested in silver and there's a need... who would then have the money to buy it back or the assets to trade for it? How likely are you to get your head bashed in? Lately, I've been hearing reports about people being scammed and asked to hand over their jewelry (the bank card PIN is definitely no longer interesting). These people will probably be mainly elderly people, because the average person only buys the tacky stuff.
I hope Steemit survives with you (I wouldn't even know how to exchange it, because all the doors are hermetically sealed here). After every downturn, there will be another upturn. That's always the way it goes. The only question is whether we can survive that long, and of course, there has to be a way to get it.
I remember when I was in crypto, and the bull run hit a few years ago, I couldn't sell Bitcoin at the peak of the moment. That company was blustering about not having enough employees and saying they needed to train them first. Well, by the time they'd done that, they could probably fire those people again.
It would be nice to hear from you more often. Whatever your choice, take care of yourself!
