This is not an empty hope, someday steem and sbd will have very high prices, keep calm, and keep your assets in steemit...
We once regretted it, and I started getting steem through bittrex, then studying steemit ...
Hopefully this patience gets results..
Sure it will rise. It is one of the crypto's that is merging against the bitcoin.
Bit coin is losing ground price wise steem usually follows it unfortunately
