maybe people are too busy panicking and watching coin price charts on the exchanges...
the steem chart still looks hopeful to me, though i'm no expert... on the daily chart it bounced off the median line on the bollinger band and seems to be fighting back. maybe it can recover. traffic here on steemit has picked up alot recently i hear, so the fundamentals seem good if the platform is beginning to take off... having the polo wallets out of action could help too if no-one can get their steem onto the exchange to sell... gotta hope the panick dies down before they come back online again i guess...
