RE: Crypto & Cardio #3 - Bitcoin vs Everything else and my approach to locking in Crypto Profits
It is clear that the number of active users of Steem and apps like SteemMonsters are too low to support the current price of STEEM. It would be interesting if valid and reliable metrics were developed for measuring that.
I think speculation as to it's future value is also baked into the STEEM price... as with most cryptos.
This is precisely why it has been wise to keep advertisements out of Steemit and the rest of the apps that people use to access the blockchain. The money would have been a pittance and made it painfully obvious how much the price is dependent on the ongoing hype. This is why investing fiat into the cryptosphere is somewhat questionable at the moment, in my opinion. The year 2018 is the year when crypto will have to begin to put up or shut up. It will take some time before you may be able to pick potential long-term winners. What should be done right now is pay very close attention to the technological potentials and real world use driven value propositions.
