"Yes, with a 24-hour volume above $50,000,000 it's very real and liquid enough to easily move in and out of."
And most of that volume is concentrated on only 3 exchanges: Bittrex, Binance and Upbit. Just 3 exchanges!!!
No Coinbase yet, no Bithumb, etc...
Not to mention the fact that Steemit is a microbe compared to the major video and social media sites in terms of daily active users.
There's a lot of opportunity for this blockchain of opportunity. :)
