The plans that were laid out for the broader Steem economy are pretty exciting. I believe every time another of these links in the chain comes online I think we will see another surge in the price. Which will lead to some whale selling, which will lead to more investment in building out the Steem economy.
It's already happened twice. Steem price surged when Steemit came online, then dropped back. It surged again when the market came online (also happened to be after the first Steemit payout which helped, alot) and has since dropped back. Each piece make the chain stronger and increases the overall value.
Me? I'm just powering up and enjoying the ride. Come, join me.
I like your take on it. We're forging the Steemchain and each significant milestone has so far been accompanied by a surge in Steem price. Long may that pattern continue!
