I agree. Nothing wrong with BTC taking the lead. It has the attention of the media and the masses. It also takes the shots from some of those same entities. There are many forces who are in attack mode and BTC bears the brunt of it.
That is great because it allows STEEM to operate in the background. Many are anxious for it to take over...but I am of the belief the longer STEEM is under the radar, the better.
The development on this blockchain is forging ahead regardless of what is going on with the price action. That is going to help us when apps start appearing left and right.
SMTs will really take this entire blockchain to another level.
Yeah even with this dip in the market steem is still up over 400% since November.
Steem has the highest transactions perday and is only operating at 1% capacity.
2018 is going to be a great year for the steem blockchain.
Also most people that have steem have it powered up, so you wont see any major selloffs you might see with other cryptos.
