Well, today I saw something I didn't expect, Steem on the top of Bittrex for biggest gainer. It's about time!
Steem has been on a tear today going up over 75% at one point.

Right now Steem is has settled down a little bit over $4.80, but it hit $5 today. That is a great sign for all of us here on Steemit.
That is just the graph for today! I was excited earlier when Steem went up over $4.50 but had no idea it would go all the way to $5.00!
It even made it on the front page of Bittrex. I've never seen it on the home page!
That is pretty awesome. After a day like today, a lot of new people are going to be researching, "What is Steem? and hopefully they'll find our wonderful community.
The $5 mark is a big step for Steemit. We were at $0.99 cents back at the end of November. Accounts that were worth $200 then are now worth $1,000. That is awesome.
It may not last long though, the market is always fluctuating and quite volatile, but the fact that it has a new high means that we could be poised for some great growth in the upcoming months.
This is exciting to me, it is like Steemit is actually getting some of the attention it deserves.
How do you feel about Steem hitting $5?
