I'm having two Steemit problems. I would be grateful if you would chime in and help.  

1.  I am being approached by people trying to discredit Steemit. They are using the fact that Steem has dropped to between 0.13 and 0.10.  I can tell the critics are turned off when I answer. I think I'm taking too long and saying things they don't understand.  

I am usually good at making complexities simple to understand. I can't find a simple answer for this one. Is there a way to explain the reason in only one paragraph? A *"Steem For Dummies" answer?*

2.  A fan emailed today wondering why my Steemit blog has become less popular. I replied, *"What makes you think that?"* 

She answered,  *"You started out making $5,000 for one post and now you are making less than $50.00."*

Two hours later, I received a second email asking the same thing. I have personally read all my fan mail for eleven years. It keeps me in touch. I take notice when one person emails and raise my eyebrows when two or more email the same thing. 

Is false correlation devaluing my brand?  *(A commenter used the term, "false correlation." I loved the term so much, I edited it in. Thanks @dgiors.)*

If the answer is yes, how can I fix this? Should I post a short article with a title that explains why I am being paid less?

Sorry. I had four questions. 

Big love to everyone. I hope your coffee is hot this morning. If you don't drink coffee, I hope your weed is sticky.

Peace and Love,

Barry
