Yep, $10 will be the next target for sure. If the $10 can be a solid base, that would be great for Steem as assets typically stair-step up in a bull market.
The SMT is planned to be rolled out early this year, I'm curious to know which social media sites will adopt the monetization of their platform.
I speculate that this would give a nice bid for Steem since the SMT's are on the Steem blockchain.
