Actually price is an important factor for many Steem users out there and because of price downtrend engagement is reduced. But as you said 1 steem will always be 1 Steem and for anyone with long term it doesn't matter. I also have long term vision with steem and not worried what's the price of it now. Engagement is definitely important and a kind of boost to authors.
Thanks

I think we have a short term boost in engagement thanks to the Tribes so hopefully we can build upon it!
