For example, 2017 was a great opportunity. Huge amounts of users came to the Steem ecosystem, but most of them left because we are not ready yet. If we had communities, SMTs, better and self-sustained dapps that make profits, we would have retained a much greater amount of people. The growth in the number of users, in the number of wallets, is what will get the price higher.

I think that sums it up pretty good. Steem already had a lot of eyeballs, but many were not satisfied with the result, so they left. We need to change that.
