I've been surprised to see those Alexa rankings going up after that long flat period. Top 2000 globally and top 750 in the US is pretty incredible. Looking at the coinmarket graphs, it is surprising that Steemit is not rising relative to BTC, and just tracking with it for the most part. Sometime it will break out. It's been enjoyable watching your success here, too. Consistency is going to be my personal theme for 2018. And I hope you see many more interesting guitar picks in 2018! ; )
