It's always good to have an extra door for getting in and out, but ultimately it will be the sentiment in the crypto markets that will cause prices to rise or fall. If Steem is a solid ship it will rise with the rising tide. All initial pumps will find a base, and the solid ships will rise again while the leaky ones will sink. But I know you know all this @aggroed, I just wanted to make it clear for the less experienced :).
