Lets be realistic here, the Exchange with the Biggest Volume that lets you Trade Steemit is Poloniex. in Poloniex you can NOT SHORT Steem. Steem is almost 1 year old. look at Dash, beening around for 3 years. was in a downtrend for over a year after the "all time high" DUMP from the first BULL Cycle. i will Continue to invest my $$$ monthly as long as i see improvements/upgrades to Steem. which is what they have been doing.
