@Ned , 
Please check the latest trends:
The same goes for Steem
Meanwhile, Bitcoin is on the record high:
Crypto as well:
Do you need help?
Do you want users? I have a plan, how to bring 500 - 1000 new, active people
Do you want institutional support? I sent you the plan via contacts@steemit... No response
Do you need some meaning? You could support something that matters. Something that is universally accepted as valuable. You are still producing 15.000 $ worth of Steem per day, it could make a difference.
And the last puzzles for me: why don't you support some good YouTubers (Officially, with 1.000.000 delegated power)
Look at those, 1.000.000 subscribers, funneled, with the same mindset:

Or those, (the same core crew), connected with other youtubers, with World of Tanks video game?

For them, several thousand per month is hudge money, and 1% of their audience is - the whole Steemit community.
One. Percent. One. Single. Percent.
And the thing I just can't understand: RT came to Steemit. Why you don't give them whatever they want for a public announcement?
It's really simple. Only the price matters. And number of users = noise = price
Simple as that
