Welcome to Steemit! It has a bright future. It is not quite like other social networks. The management like us to self manage, and we are somewhat inexperienced in that department. A few heated debates occur.
For those that don't get drawn in by drama, it's a peaceful place for the most part. :-)
Thanks for the welcome! Glad to see how quick people responded. Looking at the price for steem power and steem in general was afraid it may be dying out.
And nothing wrong with a lil drama haha.
The price is going down due to a hard fork a few months back which decreased the time limit for people to 'power down' their Steem Power and turn it into 'liquid' Steem. This has had some downward pressure on the price. There are also some 'power downs' due from the big Steemit accounts held by the company founders which could drive it down further.
Generally this is seen as one of the best times to buy in cheap before the price goes back up again.
(All financial decisions should be made with careful consideration ;-) )
