The fact that steem is one of those alts least tied to how BTC reacts gives me some indication that there is something going on here that we're doing right. It's going to take time to work out the kinds, to keep redistributing, to get dapps on here that are new ways of attracting users that don't want to blog
Im not really emotionally tied to the place or the rewards its just a site I use to share my thoughts so either way price doesn't phase me. Unless its 8 dollars and up then I for sure would be affected by that sort of valuation
