I first started looking into Steem a couple weeks ago when I was looking for a coin safe-haven. Since the correction Steem has done a great job holding value against BTC.
The highs are steadily raising, which incentivizes a long position, but for short term traders there have been periodic price spikes of up to 5%.
What I recommend is to buy at .000270 BTC and hold with a sell order at a magnitude of your choosing.
