As a relative newbie to steemit, but long time crypto observer, I have a couple of thoughts. I think the timing comparison of alts to btc is a product of external factors. Mostly "buzz." Having watched the recent decline in Steemit since I arrived, it appears to be recovering slightly. Isn't Steemit tied to the dollar, though? If so, is that affecting the rebound potentially? If not, then I would say that Steemit should be at the front end of a climb. Just by the nature of crypto. After the fork, everything appears to have shaken out. And other alts are climbing.
