Your story twists and turns so much, maybe you should adopt the nickname The Eel?

In the last months, Bitcoin has gone from $11,000 to $24,000. When this happened in 2017, Steem dollar rose to about $18 per Steem Dollar.
This time, both steem and hive have remained at their dismal depths. Not what I was looking forward to...
A winding tale indeed, Alex - It's a labyrinth. It represents a spiritual quest that Marcus is on to recover his memory and be reunited with his soul mate. I would have called my hero Theo (Theseus) after the Greek myth, but I used that name in another quest story . I know you're probably thinking, does anybody get these allusions? and the answer is probably no but like all myths they serve a deeper purpose and act on our subconscious. Anyway, that's my justification - I please myself :)
Re: bitcoin and other alt coins - usually the other cryptocurrencies follow bitcoin's lead but I think that connection is tenuous at best and more so after the last big bump that turned out to be artificially manufactured by investors - once bitten, twice shy. If Hive or Steemit want to improve in value, they need to improve their product - right now ask yourself, who the hell is being attracted to these sites? Take a look at the trending page - is good content being rewarded or is it a case of whales circle jerking their own investments?
