Steem always lagged for various reasons - even with pumps it is a week or two behind. This is a bit of an issue as while the other alts pump, just as Hive is about to, BTC pumps again and kills it :D
BTW, are you saying that we are at the end of 2016, and not the end of 2017 with BTC? I read your post quickly on that in the morning, but have been slaughtered (family stuff) and haven't had a chance to get back to it properly.
Yeah, we definitely are at then end of 2016 even for BTC. This means that BTC still has an 8X in price to achieve for it to repeat 2017.
