Very good points @brandonfrye and I echo your points on the terrible shooting in Florida. I believe there has been over 4000 gun deaths since the start of the year.
Yes if you look at coinmarket cap and look at the total supply of steem being at 266,388,915 and the circulating supply 249,414,821. It isn’t foing to be long before we reach that total supply. Which can only mean one thing the demand and price will go up, unless they are going to put more coins into the system. ( i can’t remember of the too of my head how many the plan to introduce yearly) so yes i could envision a massive rise in the not to diatant future.
