As I posted last week, HOLD ON TO YOUR COINS, steem has rocketed up 61% from .88c USD this morning to a whopping high of $1.42 USD. It has now settled back in around the $1.15 mark but what an exceptional rise. I am not sure what has fueled this but I am am pleasantly surprised and happy about it. Will be intereseting to see if it can hold this mark and grow further or just a bit of market manipulation driven by a pump and dump.
