Nobody really knows... I looked prices of altcoins launched before my own and they're still low... It seems PoW-based altcoins have lost at least 90% of their value compared to value around 2018. I can see some PoS-based coins gaining value, but those also have low number of coins in circulation.

When I started, 40 satoshis for an altcoin was minimum acceptable, but now I see altcoins with professional teams, be worth 4 satoshis or less.

When will steem go up?

When there will be replacement for Steem Engine... Hive Engine is basically dying due to lack of proper development team...

Does steem-engine still exist? I thought it already died?

I'm pretty sure it died few weeks ago... But my point was that Hive Engine pretty much run the same code, even some of the dialog texts were unchanged... When the chains became too incompatible, they did shutdown Steem Engine and kept Hive Engine only. Now some Hive Engine tokens are switching to Aeneas blockchain or some other alternatives because Hive Engine doesn't scale up to the demands. I see some people defending Hive Engine, saying that it was never meant to be this popular, or become full-fledged token exchange.

There is still hive-engine that runs on the hive blockchain though right?

Yes... But some people have claimed that it has become slow and unusable... In my opinion it does have some bugs, but it's hardly unusable yet...

I haven't tried using it in a long time, so can't say.
