I have known Steem currency has been highly undervalued for a long time now. Steem is one of the most publicly adopted blockchains in the world. Look at the daily transactions, more than many other blockchains combined:
There's been a plenty of "not so smart money" flowing into the space over the last 4 months and I believe we are seeing the first signs of market consolidation into the fundamental crypto currencies that will be here for the longterm.

Steem (rated B-) is only 5 out of the 77 Cryptos that received more than a C rating.
To no surprise Bitcoin has a the C rating due to frozen protocol and the inability to make key upgrades. For anyone who been around in the space knows this story.
A trend worth noticing in the ratings is the Cryptos that received the highest ratings all have smart contracts built into it and can scale or will scale into 10's of thousands of transactions per second or more within the year 2018. Smart contracts platforms like ETH, NEO, EOS will be the future of the new blockchain based economy in the years to come. I find these platforms extremely interesting and useful now and even more so in future.
Steem adoption is looking good and many dapps are starting to gain traction on the Steem blockchain. Here's a few of the most popular ones currently:
www.dtube.video
www.dlive.io
http://utopian.io/
www.busy.org
Then we have the Steem Media Tokens launching soon. Where anyone can launch their own version of the Steem blockchain with their own token (SMT). This is similar to Ethereum's ERC-20 token but for Steem blockchain like social media websites. I think this will be very cool since it would allow any blog or website to start monetizing content. This a very big problem Steem is solving in a decentralized way. Just look at how Youtube is de-monetizing its content creators. I believe the time is right for Steem!
I think this year Steem price can easily hit $50 or more as adoption grows exponentially, creating great demand for Steem currency. Just like any currency the more demand with limited supply the price has no where to go but up, up and up. Steem's inflation is only around 10% annually. That's the part that that's pays all the bloggers and curation. If we just maintain our current rate of adoption we will be over 2 million users in 2018. If we start to really pick up speed in adoption, which I believe we will with the new upgrades we could see 5 million user come in by the end of 2018 counting all the Steem apps like Dlive. Plus, all the demand from SMT's.
2018 is going to be a great year for Steem!
wow that's wondefull news I'm newbie I've no any idea about this, but now I knOwn from your post :)
can you tell me please how can I buy steem power?
followed yOu.
Welcome to Steemit. The best way to buy Steem is through Binance, they just added it.
Alright! Let me check
This is really great news! Wow one out of only 5 to get above a C. It will be interesting to see in years to come and cryptos keep developing, if one ever makes it into the A category..
When you said steem to $50 I thought, alright keep posting content! :)!
Thanks for sharing.
Yes, Steem is one of a few you don't actually have to buy before you can use it! I'd keep that Steem power at least through 2018 and beyond if you can ;-)
thank you! I plan on it! Power up! :)
this is really a nice information i have seen in this post .
Great! When crypto goes mainstream, more people will know about steemit and it will emerge as the best social media platform! A social media that pays! (Could it be any better ? ;) )
Nope it does not get any better once all the upgrades come out this year and Steem comes out beta! I think many people have not realized Steemit is just one app on the Steem blockchain. There will likely be 1000's of apps and SMT's running on the Steem blockchain in future.
Awesomesauce!!
Dear @hedge-x
Greetings, I read the entire article and I gave and a resteem because I find it very positive message related to Steem.
We talked a couple of times, I also read your posts, and you always told about the possibility that Steem to reach $50 and be more people here until the end.
I like and that portion of the text in which you say and you believe that NEO is one of the top future coins, I hope to get some money, because I invested there.
Irina V.
the positive one
Thanks @coupleumbrella. Yes, from my experience and research I believe the smart contract platforms like NEO, ETH and EOS to be major part of the new decentralized smart economy, which will be valued into the trillions of dollars and probably much bigger than currencies like Bitcoin. Back when NEO was Antshares is when I jumped in. NEO has done very well especially when you count the gas dividends. The more successful applications NEO has the more valuable it will be. Apex a very recent ICO looks great but it was so popular the whitelist was oversubscribed in 10 min! I hope your NEO investment does well.
just like i said few days back that steemit is a future coming for it not just steemit steem and sbd .. we all have a good time coming for us .. i think that will be great
Steem will reach to sky soon
I'm curious on the specifics of the steem media token. Great post!
Yeap I can't wait! A lot of info at https://smt.steem.io/ and the white paper. I think its going to be big b/c it gives everyone their own version of the Steem blockchain, social media blockchain monetization specialization!
I was thinking to put that in my news today but there where a few posts on steemit already and I must say yours is the best one.
Steem B- is cool and next time it will be an A- :)))
Burst a C is okay could be better because they have a green way of mining and a unique algorithm I am saying that because I am mining it for a long time hehehe
Thanks for the cool post!
WOW sir just WOW
It's so easy to make huge returns if you have any sort of insider info.
I mean what stops Weiss execs from secretly stocking up with Steem and then making the big announcement?
Followed.
Make sure to check out my blog for cool visualizations and follow back :)
Cheers!
The only thing stopping them would be their reputation. They have a very well established history and independence but I am sure its tempting to buy ahead of positive release. What's legality of that? It's likely Palm Beach Confidential buys before they put out a release.
steem price growing. I expect it too.
It's a surprise some of those coins didn't at least earn an A-!
I believe ETH would have if it was already scaling. Also, I think Steem got the high rating b/c its only using 1% of its blockchain capacity and its got a high adoption with daily transactions almost to 2 million. That's almost double than ETH. Its more low value transactions in Social Media but Steem is doing good. Its currently the most transacted public blockchain in world!
I really love showing people blocktivity.info! Great source of data. Really puts the crypto world in perspective...
When we get a huge Steem-based economy going, then things will get very interesting!
Hello there!
This post has been upvoted as a thank you for supporting @sexywhalebot.
Have a sexy and profitable day! : ]
It is awesome to see steem getting some promotion from the rating world. I agree the steem platform is just starting to take off. With more applications and more users everyday think your $50 price point is spot on. Great post!
You are spot on with your observations.
