I am with you on your Bullish outlook. Looking at the charts and the analysts I follow, for the short term, I see a healthy correction to act as the final base from which to launch into a new paradigm. So, my guess would be down to 8k in the next couple weeks, up to 11k in May, then on to 18k by the end of the summer.
As for STEEM, being so involved here, I just grind away and let it go where it goes. When it drops, I buy and enjoy the increased SP rewards. When it pumps, I celebrate the higher SBD payouts. Win no matter what. The SMTs and update where maybe Businesses can invest in a STEEMit profile will make for a NICE increase........maybe to your $10?
Its good to see the markets are looking up again. I'm new to Steem, but I've seen the potential growth in the way you talked about with SP and SBD rewards. It's a great system. I definitely agree that SMTs could have a big impact. It all comes down to adoption. As soon as one non-crypto platform integrates it could likely flood it. We'll just have to wait and see.
