Predicting the market price for a token is difficult, that goes for Steem too. And I think I might need a new crystal ball. It seems the price for Steem already had settled about 0.11 US $, so what was going on. The sea was too calm, silence before the storm? Speculators looking for the lowest possible price, buy low, sell high. Seems to be a theme today, but then mostly buying for as low as possible, becoming a lesser form of human being in the proces. But not overhere in Nederland, aka the Netherlands, it is a cold and bright day, we have sales in the stores here all year long. So, a relaxed friday it is.
A half year at SteemIt, and it has been quite an experience so far. Yes, I was there the day the price of Steem went through the roof, that was something, expectations were high, like the early adaptors were. Then the downward trend, worried many, some could not handle it, lost their cool. But at a certain point it all came together, the community, SteemFest united us again. And then the big changes ahead. The hardfork, word is on the street that 0.16 will be a real game changer. So is today going to be the day Steem will be bought by the millions? It seems that it will not go below 0.11 cents and that 0.09 really was the bottom price.
No matter what, again there are exciting times ahead, so close before the holidays and the speculations may have begun. All in a cool Steeming way, with content creating value, attracting attention, the Steem economy thriving. And we seem to get to a time where we are going to have fun here at SteemIt. Even getting a happy hour. And a great culinary challenge with a chill, well more one of a burst maybe, with peppers. Maybe the heat is really getting turned on a bit more today, on the Steem Market too? Because tuesday 29th of november 2016 the price of Steem might already be skyhigh again.
We'll see, at least it's fun to be here, six months have flown by, looking forward for the exciting times to come!
