Thank you very much for your effort to translate my german articles and for your generous support of my work here on steemit! Regarding your question I see good prospects on the long run because of stunning new ideas as SMT and others. But we have to be patient. Steem (and steemit) is a "sleeping giant" and one fine day he will awake. So I recommend strongly to accumulate all your rewards paid in steem power.
Buona giornata e stammi bene!
