The price of steem is already in the gutter. May I suggest you behave like a company and sell directly to potential investors rather than dumping on the market and further suppressing the price. I do not understand why youve been market selling this entire time instead of looking for larger investors who would be interested in maintaining and growing the price of steem.
That said, the goal of becoming self sufficient from ad revenue is a good one, and I am very happy to see that emphasis. Still, securing outside parties with deep pockets who can help build the long term financial potential of STEEM is something that the steemit team could be accomplishing with their selling for funding. It's a situation where selling could be building for the future in two ways, rather than just one way by providing you with necessary operating capital.
Ding ding ding! Very much this ^^^
The days of dumping on the open market should be over forever. It's not sustainable and is likely stifling growth on just about every front as people see the never ending decline in prices and steer far away from all things steem.
