Steemit is gaining popularity fast and so is the currency it uses, Steem. Now this may be going against what Steemit tells you, which is to convert your Steem to Steem dollars because they say Steem will deflate in value, but right now, quite the opposite is happening, as you can see on this graph.
As you can see the price of Steem has been rising tremendously over the past few weeks. With this in mind I think that you should hold onto your Steem especially if you have faith like I do that Steemit will take off.
