Steem price is the result of how demand and offer meet.
but we both know this gduran right?
the question is how managed Steem demand to grow in first place?
The answer I gave is because of the the new people using different channels:
- offline , Facebook, Twitter... Google.
Google search engine Listing is one of the most used way to gain new people discover your website since 2003.
Good top 10 ranking of Steemit articles means everyday new people..
But we have a problem... articles ranking on google is currently affected ... because of the spammy articles.
Google sees Steemit as a unique website. As the number of the low quality or spam articles grows... google penalizes the domain and the good articles used to be shown in top 10 for the keyword X... are now on page 2...3.. or even 10!! (meaning position 100)
I understand your point of view but I don't completely agree with you, now one of your premises is that with good articles and good placings on Google we should be able to add many members to Steemit many of who will be valuable additions, undoubtedly this is true, but you also talk of the price of Steem going down so obviously the money factor is important to you (as it should be to everyone) now the reward pool is finite the more people who are active the less each one will get, of course the trending posts who are always written by the same people will remain the same, I am talking about you and me and the whole lot of others in the same situation, so the more people join the less rewards per capita, will more people in Steemit make the price of Steem rise? I somehow doubt it, I don't believe the price is directly influenced by membership or quantity or quality of posts. So we have to look for income alternatives. I just came upon this post perhaps you can read it , it made sense to me.

sure, new members and more visitors doesn't create instantly better Steem price.
new members means also Steem is more popular, and some of the people joins could potentially be an investor. couldn't she/he?
the correlation steem price / steem platform popularity is indirect, but there is.
some of the new member can invest and buy some steem.
new members doesn't mean lower reward pool as long as the new member doesn't post anything.
actually it could be quite the opposite, new members, most of them investors, they just buy Steem and hold it. Price Soars.
Well that is kind of optimistic.
exactly what is optimistic?
