With continued development in the Steem community I am not surprised of the price action and believe this is just the beginning.
I believe SMT are very important for our ecosystem. To bring a new wave of games and apps to the Steem Blockchain. Thanks to Steem-Engine we now have our own tokens on Steem with a internal DEX to trade tokens against Steem coming soon. Get more details from the website. https://steem-engine.com
We have a Steem DEX called FreedomEx working on bringing us a fiat gateway and a DEX for Steem-Engine Tokens as well as future SMT that are supposed to come out this year. Here is the link below to sign up. They are currently in Stage 1 of their tokens FREEX IEO sale.

There is another project created by

We also have what I believe is one of the best games on the blockchain period, our one and only SteemMonsters. The whole team did a great job on this game. The How To Play tab on this game is done very good. A newcomer like myself was able to read the all the information and tried 2 practice battles and I was ready to go. I have never played any similar card games like this before and it was very easy for me to figure it out. Not like some other games, I won’t point no fingers. 😁
This was a big week for SteemMonsters with tournaments going live on the website. They also announced all the new features that will be coming soon. My favorite of all of them is you will earn for just playing. Follow

Another game that came out with huge hype was DrugWars. I don’t think they even expected the number of players that joined. After some bumps in the road version 2.0 was released today. It is a very fun game to play, with battles now live again. I feel everyone has already joined that game but if you haven’t yet here is the link to join. If you have joined and have not joined a “gang” yet join

Another great project in the works that I can not wait for is TokenBB. TokenBB is adding communities to Steem in the way of forums similar to how reddit does. The project incentivizes forums by rewarding the creator a percentage of all posts in the forum. You could already pre register your forums at https://tokenbb.io. Follow 
If you haven’t checked out steemapps.com yet be sure to check that out shows almost all Steem apps and dapps out.
That is just some of the new apps on the Steem blockchain. I feel we will have a new rush of apps and dapps coming to Steem now that we have our own tokens. Just like we saw in ETH and TRX.
In both cases the price of each launched when they got their wave of apps and dapps after getting their own tokens. If you look at the price of TRX during 2018 vs BTC it did pretty good for itself due to the rush of all the games on TRX. Yes TRX has Justin and ETH has Vitalik but we have a big group of incredible developers and talented individuals ourselves in our community.
With the continued development on Steem there is only one way to go from here. 📈🚀 We have new games and apps coming out everyday and when devs see the success of our apps they will come build on Steem. Steem On ♨️
