Hi @exyle, check out this post:

The important quote:
Personally, I'm a bit biased when it comes to Steem, because I have a developer's background. I don't see any of the devs whining about price action and how Steem is "going to zero". What I do see are a bunch of diehards grinding out code no matter what happens, and that's inspiring.
That's why I believe STEEM will go up soon or later :)
