Everyone in the crypto world knows that big whales are controlling the market, crypto market is still very small compared to other markets so it's easily manipulated.
Many rumors are circulating these days about crypto future, one of them I read two days ago about that there is a possibility of listing btc on nasdaq, this would be huge ! Anyway, Two scenarios are possible, either btc to the moon (most likely) or it's the end game for crypto world. As for steem's futur, there is a huge potential but things aren't going well for the moment, I really cant predict the future.
