This is what I see: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/steem/
The BTC value of Steem has consistently been drained out except for brief periods of time when it rose. In May to June 2017 Steem was "profitable" in BTC value. In Dec 2017 to Feb 2018 Steem was also "profitable" in BTC value.
We saw a trend reversal also in April but it was very mild. Since April the BTC value has been slowly draining out of Steem. I merely ask is there going to be any concrete actions or plans by developers to bring Steem into a state of "profitability" or to put it differently, a state of sustainability for sake of the reward pool?
