Until the boom comes back to crypto STEEM will continue to stagnate. Bitcoin is simply too strong in this uncertain market and it keeps sapping all the strength from the alts.

I am a huge believer in the Steem blockchain because it is one of the best out there- just needs more people to start seeing the same potential. 

I have a feeling that we are on the cusp of something really big with the Steemit ecosystem and it is just a matter of time until we can get those wheels rolling again.
