THIS IS RARE!
I've been in cryptocurrency since 2013 and this is a rare event. A REALLY RARE EVENT
When Bitcoin goes up, it raises everything with it
When Bitcoin goes down, it lowers the price of everything too
STEEM price is detached from Bitcoin. It is a crypto-species unlike any other I've seen.
In the really old days... like super old... like the last 2 years in cryptocurrency history means "super old".. it is common to see everything (meaning ALT-coins) go UP with Bitcoin, and go down with Bitcoin.
- If Bitcoin is doing well, everything is doing well
- If Bitcoin is doing poorly, everything is doing poorly.
ALT-traders know that. Bitcoin investors know that.
Except, we have a new, a very new, rule of thumb.
Whatever Bitcoin is doing on the charts, has no bearing on the price of steem.
Steem can do well regardless of what Bitcoin is doing.
WHAT MAKES STEEM DIFFERENT?
STEEM is not an ALT-coin. It's a completely different animal of every other coin you see competing against Bitcoin on coinmarketcap.com
STEEM is a community. It has experienced investors, and new users, creating a growth rate and a demand unlike any other coin out there.
STEEM is a BETA chain that has surpassed expectations. (Yes Tone Vays, I'm talking to you)
Wait a minute... who is this "Tone Vays" you are talking about? Never heard of him?
When Dan Larimer created STEEM with his team of programmers and developers, Tone Vays said that STEEM was a scam. It could never outlast its first year of operation. It won't work. It couldn't hold value. Tone Vays refused to create a steemit account, nor would he ever buy a single STEEM.
What Tone Vays failed to mention, is that he's human and prone to error like the rest of us. Tone Vays did admit, he's a Bitcoin maximalist, which means he's 100% into Bitcoin and 0% into everything else.
Well today, if you visit coinmarketcap.com you're going to see exactly what I'm talking about.
Go to the first page of coinmarketcap.com and see lots of RED numbers, lots of charts going down just like Bitcoin is going down. Scroll up and down that chart page and look at everything.
What will you notice?
STEEM price didn't even flinch. It's hovering along just fine and it doesn't matter what Bitcoin or the rest of the ALT-coins are doing.
This is time for a celebration. STEEM has proven it is stable. It might even be more stable than Bitcoin for volatility!
...and....
- ...for second free advice as to why.. I'll tell you why....
User adoption of STEEM is at an all-time high (more than it was just 6-12 months ago).. We're gaining more new users and more new interest each and every day. That includes investors too! Not just bloggers!
If we had a closed loop of interested people that would have stopped coming by now, then yes, we'd rise and fall against Bitcoin's price. That isn't happening.
..that isn't happening because we're seeing numbers and growth similar to what Twitter, Facebook, Reddit and other huge platforms did in their early days.
If this is still the early days for STEEM and STEEMIT, what can we expect to see?
Massive growth both in user adoption and much higher prices in our future. Get ready.
Fine print. These are my opinions only. You decide. I think it's obvious. What do you think?
I just realized something.. I never explained how to best celebrate... re-steem, upvote, and share this post. We need to make this loud and clear there is something going on over here, so people realize it and get excited too..
My next prediction: STEEM over $10 in 2018...
P.S. I haven't had a big post like this in a very long time.. Thank you for the support!
