There are so many passionate Steemians buying up all this Steem at bargain bin prices. It will be much harder to sell these because now the supply is moving into stronger hands. I am getting so much genuine excitement seeing a middle class develop and having Steem's distribution issues being worked out.
I feel bad for the bitcoin maximalists now. At least gold is pretty to look at. These poor bitcoiners are just sitting there with their bitcoin bags doing nothing while were all having fun making videos and upvoting in a downtrend.
That's my hope too. STEEM moving into stronger hands that see the value much more clear this time around.
I agree that this is happening @exyle as I can see some other strong hands too.
I am just a small player but I am buying every month and plan to keep my Steem for the long-haul. Passive income is much more appealing to me than a one-time sellout.
I'm a Human and STEEM Maximalist and Bitcoin Minimalist!
I just don't like all the good projects depending on BTC and Strongly believe something good is gonna happen in the next few months and STEEM will become independent from BTC price!!
It's about time Steem unshackles itself from BTC, but for that to happen we need exchanges that will trade Steem direct. I buy my BTC from a trader that stocks between 200 and 400 BTC, so for smaller amounts I can usually get it within the hour without the Euro/dollar exchange. This is all he does, he lists no other coins besides Euro and BTC. Now if I could just get him to stock 50,000 Steem, things might start rolling a bit.
Have a good weekend Nathan, cheers!
Coinbase will list STEEM anytime soon and it'll be game changer for us !
I start being more active on Twitter so that I can make people who work at Coinbase know that they should do more to unshackles many projects from BTC!!!
Can't wait for a day where I can buy STEEM with coinbase!
You too, Have a wonderful weekend my friend :)
