Nic post .I liked your posts

I think its possible, its a matter of finding a subject matter that can involve the Steemit community.
As for the price of Steemit, I see it only rising. TO STEEMIT WE GO

No we won’t hit $100 by year end.  It’s not possible my friend.  We should see $10.00 but remember steem isn’t a limited number. There is inflation and thus a huge growth to $100 is not happening in 2018.  Longer term I’d say it may be possible but not in 2018

The fact much steem is locked up means less on on open market but this could also be a bad thing if people power down thus flooding market

Cool post and content. I think long term it's definitely possible. By the market cap, we are assuming the rest of the markets go up as well. Also, I think it depends on the development and the team behind Steemit. If they keep upping the site and marketing then absolutely it's possible.

Thank you for bringing up market csap! I just learned this aspect a few days ago and it’s chsnhed my understanding of what is possible and feasible in the crypto world. People like to throw out crazy numbers without taking into consideration market cap and it’s relation to other cryptos lol!!!

with all the projects being built on steem, and alongside steemit, there will be a lot more attention on the protocol and therefore the coin. i would agree that if the crypto market keeps growing fast, Steem will benefit. 

I agree with your comment that steem does not have anything to prove with respect to the tech and initial use case. put simply, it's a reality as of today, not a dream. 
on the other hand, the big vision for steem is to power every website with an SMT. i.e. changing the internet as we know it. this is commonly referred to as "web 3.0" in their papers. If we think about the big vision, there is a ton to prove. HF 20 is late. SMTs are late. 

Finally, the steem token is in a number of funds, including William Mougayar's. This is critical to know as most big investors are likely to allocate their capital to funds as opposed to managing their own portfolio of coins. Capital inflows into funds leads to funds scaling up their portfolio. more demand for the underlying coins. if you track asset flows into funds and know their portfolios, you can likely do very well!

I think price of steem up and down. I have no any idea about yet$100 steem

nice post like always

I think ideally it will continue go up but $100 is a nice clean number that is easy to say as opposed to $47.23 or $11

I could see it hitting $100 in its lifetime but in the game of Crypto assessment we all have to understand we of course are going to want the Crypto we own X amount to go to $100.

In it's lifetime yes, and I think anyone saying $100 is correct, but in 2018 it is optimistic (which is fine) but also they have to consider these things take time. I could be wrong, and I hope to see how things turn out.

I'd say its better to focus on improving the platform while other Cryptos collapse due the revelation of overestimation of value - as Steemits community will decide the price in the end.

I'd say $20-30 is as optimistic as I am willing to go, realistically $10.

$100 in it's lifetime for sure, if the community can survive - itself.

I suspect we will be over $100 by the end of the summer. IMO it does not matter this year how the crypto market is doing in general, as I suspect some projects will be rising up like we have never seen before. Steemit will be one of them!

Just based on previous numbers i could very well be possible to hit 100 by end of year. last year many cryptos blew up and hit numbers no one expected. Can't call cryptocurrecy a gamble any more now its more like long term investments.

I believe 2018 will be the year of many more coins dying out and the good ones continuing to rise. We will start to see more steady gains. Steem to $30 would not be out of the question but it would then start to be a much slowing gain from there in my opinion.

Thanks for sharing your thoughts on Steem's price for 2018. While I agree that $100 is aiming _very_ high for 2018, I wouldn't be surprised with $35-$45.

What a lot of people seem to ignore is the fact that a multitude of institutional investors are becoming interested in cryptocurrencies, or already are. With these investors comes a certain sense of reservation to invest in projects without use cases, already built products and many other factors.

Many tokens may fall this year, because of what I mentioned above. Tokens with a _real_ product and use case like Steemit will prosper, but we can not be sure that it won't suffer due to the amount of people who might cash out funds due to the amount that they may lose due to other cryptos crashing.

While of course this is all speculative, I think it _is_ important to note. Thanks for a great post!

Thank you for this very down to earth prediction! I see STEEM at $30-$50 by end of the year and much will depend on SMT and other Apps using the STEEM blockchain. Do you think, that EOS will have higher gains than STEEM this year?

Money will start to consolidate into the better projects therefore allowing their price growth to accelerate.  You always have to remember the correlation between Steem price and user growth.  With Steem and Steem dollars being at higher prices now we're seeing acceleration of created accounts.  The Alexa ranking went from 2100 to 1300 in a month and a half.  If we get another jump in Steem/SBD dollars we could see an explosion of user growth.  I figure Steemit would need 5 million accounts by years end plus SMT 'a being a success, plus a healthy crypto market and then $100 could be achieved.

Thank you for posting about this! I recently created my 3 Steemit goals for the year, one of those being to earn 1,000 coins by 12/31/2018. While I don't think $100 Steem is possible this year, I do believe it will be in the next 2-3 years, and I want to have 1,000 (or a lot more) when it does. 

Although I do think that the market will have to grow as a whole, there are "projects" valued at over $1B. As those start to fail, and some will, more confidence will be put into functioning and successful coins like Steem. I think some failure will drive Steem, but I could be wrong.

Thank you for this very detailed and I’m sure we’ll informed post.  I understand very little of stern and crypto currency in general.  Is there a resource or starting point that you would recommend to help me understand the basics?  Many thanks
