Thank you Tim! Two days ago, I predicted that Steem would go up by a few cents. When I made the prediction, It was $0.99. It peaked at $1.05, and it's now at $1.02.
I agree with you. The best indicator, is the surge in volume. Just look at the huge volume rise at the bottom. This is proof, that you're efforts has reached a lot of investors. Even if the price drops by a few cents today, more people are aware of Steem, and this is going to be great for the long run.
I recommend that the Steem community create a new tag, and curation trail, for people who write posts about improving the price of Steem. If someone takes the time to think of good ideas, we should reward them. If someone makes a post explaining what they're doing to promote Steem on the internet, we should have a lucrative curation trail to reward them.
