Price of Steem will increase. Authors will benefit a lot.

Actually, it is impossible to guarantee such increase. The price of Steem is not set by how good development is alone, and how much funding is dedicated to development doesn't determine the quality of development either. Far too many variables impact Steem price to logically support your statement.

True many factors determine the price of Steem. Better development will encourage investors and therefore have a positive impact on price. A net positive increase in price is not guaranteed but a relative increase to what it would have been had there been no development is highly likely. Of course we can never tell for sure as we won't have 2 scenarios to compare.
