I have NOT been around very long, so here is my mostly uninformed thoughts from the peanut gallery ;)
Don't really see why its so great to see Steem rising so high unless you're planning on moving money out in a big way. Which of course, nothing wrong with that the least! That being said the high price is preventing many that I know from now buying into it, myself included. I had plans on buying in but now I'm looking elsewhere. I will of course continue to work on SteemIt... but as far as investing, that ship has sailed.
Interested in any well thought out replies. I could very well be wrong.
Thanks
