That's what you and I would do and what sounds logical. But instead check out your dead followers (at least 1/3 of your subscribers are no longer on Steemit) and open their accounts one by one - you will see several hundred dollars locked in every account and almost no one powering down. And that was my 2 million cents on the issue.

I think you are confusing two types of user statuses: ```active user``` and ```investor```. Many, many accounts are opened just for financial speculation and those are "traders", not really bloggers. If you see money in their account but no posts, that usually means they're waiting for a better price to sell. I know accounts with hundreds of thousands of Steem which don't have a single post. That doesn't mean they're "not on Steemit" anymore, they simply wear a different "hat". Like I told you, this is not the regular website we all know :))

I'm not talking about investors, I'm talking about regular users with regular posts, who haven't posted in months (most left last year, when Steem hit rock bottom) and their accounts typically hold somewhere between 50 to 1-2k USD, and almost none are powering down.

I don't think that category is big enough to drive the price up or down because of the locked in Steem. And, as Steemit gains more visibility, many of them will come back, if only to cash in. Some of them already started to. Also, I don't know if you're aware of that, but there is an experiment in which whales are required not to vote. It was started (quite abruptly) by a group of whales who wanted to give more power to minnows / dolphins. But in the process a flag war ensued (because the experimenters counteracted the votes of whales with their own votes, to drive the reward down) and many users were caught in the middle. I took a one and a half month hiatus from Steemit for the same reason. The overall atmosphere was rather gloomy. The promise is that, starting HF 19 , this experiment will be over. I expect a lot of users will dip their toes in the Steemit waves again around that moment.
