Do we really see FUD (Fear Uncertainty and Doubt) spreading in the dump and pump scenario? I've always felt these two scenarios where we just pump, dump, pump, dump are certainly interconnected with each other where panic selling drops the currency price more so than FUD.
Also, You mention that "Much of [STEEM] is locked up in its long term form, Steem Power". This does not mean much unless you can give quantifiable information. I am sure it is available, and numbers truly do speak for themselves. Where are the numbers?
