the thing about these crypto coins is that most of them are expected to increase in value and since has platforms like steemit - bitcoin for example has none.
the more users steemit will have - the more people will expect the steem dollar's value to increate AND hope it will.
that mean the steem dollar will go up - I think, as it has more reasons to increase in value than any other crypto currency.
I personally think it's a good time to buy steem currency.
