December was totally bullish month for all the altcoins because of bitcoin growth in November. It will be foolish to anticipate anything like that in this time of correction.
I agree that steem has value built in itself but people should also have an idea about money, how it flows? The early adopters are reaping the benefits but this will not be the case when millions of people would be on steemit. Still I think steem is way far from it's potential right now.
