Hmm... Nice point @ackza but I hope you also know that every crypto price or worth is depending on the value of BTC. There were times whereby steem used to worth more than $1 during the days of high worth of BTC.
I actually think the witnesses and Steemit Inc are really working hard to make this happen even though it's just gonna take time but trust me I strongly believe steem price will worth more than the present value when it's time.
