A few months ago, steem was severely underrated currency together with Steem Dollar (SBD). It hardly reaches even a dollar for almost a year, it just crawls down below a dollar mark. Many of my friends were discouraged to continue steeming due to their very low earning and it doesn't compensate for their effort in making articles. But as for me, steemit carries a unique platform and I believed that this is a sleeping giant that soon will be awakened and starts to skyrocket - this a wrote in my previous blog entitled: The World of Cryptocurrency - The Sleeping Giant.
Look at steem now, it started to skyrocket and this is what I expect since before. It started to steam upward and maybe it will reach $30 at mid of this year (Hopefully). We are so lucky that we continue steeming in spite of its being underrated. As of this writing, steem price is $7.96 and that is almost 70% rise just in 3 days starting from 1st of January till now. This sudden rise of steem will surely encourage our fellow steemians to be active again on this platform.
Steem Dollar also maintains its impressive run at $10 average and that is a good performance so far. We will just keep on steeming and enjoy interacting with our fellow steemians and soon we will reap a handsome reward. :)
