Hive account@steemzine, great post. Been pondering this of late. The bottom line is we have a small pool of people actually buying steem with $$$ compared to the giant pool of contributors that are cashing out in order to be "paid" for their work.

The supply/demand is so far out of whack a catalyst needs to come along to swing the pendulum.

Not sure what that can be. Maybe steemit needs ads on the sidebars to generate revenue into steem.

Either way, the daily chart of steem/btc is in a pattern of perpetual bear flags and next target looks like .001
