Dear @maxbow
If price of STEEM will increase, then it will mean "game over" for Steemit.com. New users already struggle with low Resource Credit limits and it will only get worse.
Without 50SP you cannot really do many comments. And would you invest 50$ or even 100$ just to have 50SP and to be able to "exist" on this platform?
I personally hope that this price will stay as long as possible.
Yours
Piotr
