Is steem now investible?

I remember there were days when all I did was steem, now all I do is work. But I do still check in almost daily. Check my feed and silently stalk the people I use to engage with.  I love browsing steem.  When I am having a cuppa tea, the phone comes out and I aimlessly scroll and read.  I even check trending because I know I can find out the important stuff about steem on that page.   On this account, my personal account, I use steem as a customer, not a supplier.  Now there's a change that can't be all that bad.  And from @theexcelclub, I use steem as a business add on to utilize many of the benefits of the block.

There is so much going on in life right now and so personally I feel like an outsider looking in.  Which, in one way is good.  It has given me the chance to see things as the outsider would.  Being so heavily involved for so long things were a little cloudy. I didn't know it at the time, I  really thought it was clear as day.   We have our own perception.  And perception is something different from group to group, community to community, even person to person.

As an outsider looking in I see good and I see bad. I see #web3 or what the future of what #web3 could look like.  With apps and games popping up all the time, the communities, all the different uses of the block, decentralization and the problems currently faced by #web2.  steem is for sure an alternative solution.

I see development.  I see an active blockchain that is moving forward.  A blockchain that has changed and has grown and matured.  I see innovation and persistence.

I see communication and amazing use of the Steem.DAO.  Using stake based voting to gauge the opinion of stakeholders is fantastic and I would say one of the many creative things to come.

And wow the activity on twitter is fantastic.  Although I am not involved in the activity, it is visible, I see it all the time. I would love to see the same activity on Linkedin because Investors & businesses all hang out there.

I see the price and the ranking on Coinmarketcap.  Its been a bear for so long.  For long enough now that users don't zoom out far enough to see peak prices.   52 week high is $0.55, Current price $.20.  The price only needs to go to $.40 to make a 100% gain.  Massive gains can be made.  

With all the activity, the innovation, the development, the community, an alternative to #web2. Stake based voice, the chance of ownerships, and then the price.  I see steem as something worth holding.  Something worth accumulating.  Something worth buying.  Something worth investing in, like an early stage, start-up.  yes, there are still some things to iron out, but it seems to be getting smoother.

What do you think?  Is steem now investible?
