This is very easy to happen with crypto investors, they dont know what the coin is about and might go for that, there is also a low (current) supply as somenoticed here on steem, lower than steem, and for this kind of coin, it should be much more issued (much more like fiat) to match the value of one dollar.
Probably only fixed with a fork or some technical solution. Difficult to affect this as a user.
Well powering up any benefits takes money from those crypto investors and ties it back into the Steem System.
