Hi Twinner

The global Rewardpool in its current form is the cause for all the dramas and disputes about rewards, downvotes etc. As long as it exists, there will always be rip-offs and disappointed users who turn away from STEEM. And the STEEM price can't rise either, because as soon as the price rises, the rewards of the scammers will rise as well, who will immediately sell the rewards on the market, which will bring the price down again. A vicious circle.

It is just a question of demand and supply.

The price depends on many factors - global situation of the economy - political decisions and even the normal daily and weekly activitis.

How ever - future will tell what way is the best.

I have some doubt about Tron, because Tron is a member of the system which always meets at Davos each year.

The system doesn´t like competition - so the steemworld could be in danger.

The market signals uncertainity. Otherwise if Steem is a success, than it can grow in significant manner.

SMT s will show if they are able to generate new fields of commerce and new members to the steemchain.

Best regards.

Helau! !BEER !COFFEEA
