With this many users steem isn't going anywhere, and with the technology behind it, blockchain isn't either. It never was, the media just want to control us using fear, just like they do in all cases, and to some degree it still works.

Steem itself will see gains along with the rest of the crytpo space, the difference is that steem will keep growing naturally, within the entire crypto space, while the rest of the market is growing together. I could see it 2xing compared to the rest of the market at a minimum.

It still really bothers me how banks say crypto is too high risk that they don't let you put your own money on, its your money! Find a new bank if this happens to you, they shouldn't be able to tell you what to do with your money
