I think this is a systemic risk, but I believe more than 40% of Steem is controlled by Steemit Inc which ideally should have the best interests of this platform in mind. It's just like the stock market, in any company, the promoters hold a huge amount of shares, followed by some major minority shareholders. If any of these guys dump their stock, the price goes downhill. This is a market risk one has to take.

Well, u have to stay invested if you want to remain a whale, which should ideally increase Steem price, so that's a positive
