RE: Why It Is Imperative For Humanity That STEEM Not Only Survive But Thrive

in #steem7 years ago

I think that you make a lot of good points and predictions on the future. However, would you say that right now a lot of the value of Steem and crypto currencies in general are correlated to the overall markets? For the entire 2017 we've had the market break record after record and the cryptos rose along with it. Now, in 2018 we had a market correction and the cryptos also corrected and are having similar volatility to the market. So, do you think that if the overall market turns lower this may have a similar effect on steemit as a whole?

Sort:  

There certainly is a pack mentality when it comes to STEEM and all cryptocurrnecies. So yet, whatever happens to the overall market is going to affect STEEM as we see in the last couple days.

There will be times when STEEM fares better or worse than the market in general. The key is development and the increase in activity on here by users. Those are the two big variables which will keep increasing the number of users.
