Bitcoin peaked at $19k for a week and didn't go over $20k - I had a bet that it wouldn't go over $20k and was very glad I sold mine for $17k.
This is what I had earned on Steemit average per post seven months ago (It's a lot less now):
2016 - $19.35 with no bots
2017 - $10.01 with no bots
2018 - $12.57 with about 1/3 of my posts using bots
2019 - $3.19 all with bots and dropping like a stone
