Dear, friends we all know and see that Steemit has not the best times now: the activity of users has fallen much, many of them have lost motivation to go on with their blogging because they don't get as much profit as it was before, some months ago, when the price of Steem was higher.
I've seen a great post of my friend 
So here are my own thoughts about it. Please share your opinion as well!
So many people just leave the platform now. Moreover they withdraw all their funds from accounts, being afraid that the price of Steem will go down to the very bottom (the history of Steemit had periods when the price was much lower than now!).
From the one hand, it's evident: people don't get much profit, theu lose interest and motivation and leave.
But from the other hand, what doest it look like?
When Steemit flourishes, develops and grows, it's full of users who praise, admire and get profit here.
We all get here what we seek for: communication, friends, new knowledhes, experience, profit, so let's appreciate it.
But when hard times come, all these admirers disappear...
I amn't going to judge anybody, I've no right for it, and I don't liek to do it.
It's a choice and a decision of these people, it's up to them, but what do we have in the issue?
People leave and withdraw funds, thus they devalues and destabilizes the price of the token even more!!
So the platform not only loses users and support, but it loses stability more and more.
The price of Steem depends on BTC much for sure, but it depends on demand as well. If it is low, the price will fall to the bottom.
You dig yourself into the pit.
If you really liked Steemit and got profit here, so maybe it's better not to hurt the place that was good for you and brought you money, but to stay and be a faithful friend of it?
A friend who can be nearby not only when everything is fine, but when sh*t happens as well, and it happens in life from time to time, we all know it.
The situation looks like all people are happy to milk a cow and drink her milk, but not all of them want to feed her before it. But there will be no milk without good food and care.
Personally I'm in love with this platform, and I'm thankful to it and to all steemit friends for my interesting time here and profit I've got here for needs of my family!
I'm sad about the price of Steem now as well, but I amn't going to leave Steemit.
I'm here for 9 months already, posting constantly every day during all this time, no matter what the price of the token was.
I believe now it's just a hard period. There is always a rainbow after the rain, even a double one! (just the picture from my background shows;)
Let's be positive and thankful!
