Digital coins are not easily predictable, perhaps, I say they ain't predictable at all. The steem blockchain among all other seems to be filled with so much potentials filling our minds with optimism about the future of steem.

The Hardfork 20 development, SMT release in view, more DApps coming in to make room for true decentralization, Ads placement powered by steemit.com (click link to read post introducing it: https://steemit.com/steemit/@steemitblog/testing-ads-on-steemit-com ) - "all to make steem a valuable digital coin".

In the past few days steem is experiencing pump slowly, could this be a gateway to something big? No one can actually tell. About this time of the previous year, steem did pretty well, but this is not a ground to help predict what will become of steem now or in few days or weeks to come.

Digital coins are absolutely not predictable!

@Barineka, the best answer to give this question of yours is "to sit back and patiently watch" what will become of steem by the end of January.
