Steem is far from dead can honestly say it is the only blockchain I actively use and not purely speculating on the price. If anything I personally am more bullish on steem then any other blockchain. Steem has a working product yes there are some things which could be done better but hopefully, that will come in time. Steem is a steal at these prices in my opinion however I do think steem is under the rader. I don't think people including those on steem and off which includes developers know how much you can do on the steem blockchain.
