My posts are dropping too. I was doing two a day, now it is down to 1 every two days or so, and my haiku translation posts (my most popular series) has disappeared for over a week. It's not because of the low price though. When I started Steem was only a buck. I am here long term. But now this time period (Jan-April) is super busy in Japan, and my workload just keeps going up up up. Leaves little time for Steemit, unfortunately. But I am still here, still posting as I can, still hanging on.

Anyway, I agree with everything you said. If I had extra fiat I would be buying up as much Steem as I could afford right now. I suggest other people who do have extra money do that.
