Maybe Steem just has an image problem... meaning that it's BORING in the eyes of the gamblers and speculators because it has actual utility and applications not just some promise based on hot air nobody actually understands. We're not exciting here. We don't have any "could revolutionize!!" statements with absolutely nothing to back them up. We actually have a working blockchain that's transacting, and dozens of working apps... how mindnumbingly DULL!

I say this because it's just like everywhere else. The companies actively making a medical product that makes people's lives better on a daily basis has FAR poorer stock performance than one with "a promise to cure XYZ illness!" and absolutely nothing more.

Sad, but true... it's how the world works.
