Not sure about the price prediction (only because i never seem to be "on the money" with that sort of thing) but I do agree that you should not underestimate the power of BTC, it has a strong influence on all the other players. I certainly hope that Steem does do well as it is an ecosystem that I fully support (checking into it brought me to Steemit) Having said that, as I currently live in Tonga, I have not been able to get my hands on ant Steem as the area is not supported by many exchanges, I suppose it is ML - KYC issues (which I fully understand). As soon as it lands on one of the exchanges that I can access I hope to go shopping. Cheers for the post J
