The Weiss Rating Agency site crashed this morning...probably by the amount of traffic directed towards it! For those who don't know, weiss ratings released this morning their ratings on 74 cryptocurrencies. A lot of attention is directed towards it and I was really curious to know their ratings on STEEM.
Seems like Christmas came early this year! People don't even have to pay in order to know that STEEM is a buy opportunity.
I was able to find some information on their splash page:
http://finance.weissratings.com/crypto/
Here is an excerpt:
PALM BEACH GARDENS, FL — Weiss Ratings, the nation’s leading independent rating agency of financial institutions, releases today the nation’s first-ever grades on cryptocurrencies by a financial rating agency. Weiss gives Bitcoin a C+ (meaning “fair”) and Ethereum a B (“good”). None of the cryptocurrencies covered currently get a grade of A (“excellent”). In total Weiss currently covers 74 cryptocurrencies.
A grade of A or B can also be interpreted as the investment rating equivalent of “buy.” At the same time, investors should not be overly alarmed by a C rating. It is a passing grade, and for investors, implies the equivalent of “hold.” Grades of D” and E” are the equivalent of “sell.” However, investment decisions should not be made solely based on ratings. They are meant as a tool in the context of a broader risk management strategy.
What makes Weiss’ entry into cryptocurrency ratings significant is its history of independence and accuracy in other investment sectors, as noted by the U.S. Government Accountability Office (GAO), Barron’s, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Times, among others.
“Despite extreme price volatility, cryptocurrencies have a bright future and the potential to deliver unusually large profits to investors,” said Weiss Ratings founder Martin D. Weiss, Ph.D. “However, the market is hectic and confusing for investors. They need the clarity that only robust, impartial ratings can provide.”
The Weiss Cryptocurrency Ratings evaluate price risk, reward potential, blockchain technology, adoption, security, and other factors. “Due to rapid changes in the data,” explains Weiss, “upgrades and downgrades are more frequent than in other sectors we cover.”
Below is a sampling of Weiss Cryptocurrency Ratings, selected randomly to illustrate a variety of strengths and weaknesses:
- Bitcoin (rated C+) gets excellent scores for security and widespread adoption. But it is encountering major network bottlenecks, causing delays and high transactions costs. Despite intense ongoing efforts that are achieving some initial success, Bitcoin has no immediate mechanism for promptly upgrading its software code.
- Ethereum (B), the second most widely adopted cryptocurrency, benefits from more readily upgradable technology and better speed, despite some bottlenecks.
- Novacoin (D) and SaluS (D) are weak in terms of both technological innovation and adoption.
- Steem (B-) enjoys a relatively good balance of moderate strength in nearly all the key factors considered along with a social network feature.

The rest of the information is for sale but it's interesting that they mentioned STEEM as a "bonus" on their landing page.
CONCLUSION
We are not crazy! STEEM is definitely a buy!
Thanks for info - now I am getting an idea what might caused this massive spike on steem today. Good job.
Long Live Steem

I think most people that have ever used Steem can tell you that. If we could convince coinbase to add Steem and exchanges to make Steem a base trading pair it would be in the thousands and I think arbitrage trading would help keep price differentials between exchanges at a minimum with free, quick, reliable, transfers.

So far as i saw around 5-6 coins have B- rating so steem is in the top of the world with Etherium :) hope more people will look into steem and grab opportunities . And need to look later for some A, so grab them :D

Oh, yes, it's very pleasant that the STEEM was included in the list of rating currencies according to the opinion of the Weiss Rating Agency. We see again what we are talking about on the STEEM, namely, that the STEEM is more perfect in many ways, it is commission-free transactions, better bandwidth and scalability, I most importantly have the same quality as the social network, which speaks of a broader spread among ordinary people. I'm sure if the STEEM has such recognition from such an agency, then the future of the STEEM will become more assured and it's time to buy! Thank you @cryptoctopus

I have never cared for Weiss. (As you get what you pay for... and since Weiss doesn't charge the clients, they are getting money from elsewhere, and that influences things)
But, it is generally a good place to start.
I agree with no crypto being an A. How can anything in its infancy be an A rating? We haven't even gotten started in cryptos. Even the much loved block chain will have several additions to it that will make it FAR BETTER.
So, we will see how Weiss responds in the future.
I am sure that many cryptos will be as money, and so their ratings will be A. Will Weiss accurately rate them?

It's a shame that we can't see the whole list (although I respect that Weiss wants to make some profit). Now that Stripe will no longer accept Bitcoin as a payment option, it would be cool to see how more payment-friendly alternatives (OmiseGo, Ether, Stellar, Bitcoin Cash Litecoin and Dash have been mentioned) would be rated. But anyways, STEEM is a pretty safe buy.

I find the Weiss ratings a bit strange. They are noting current price points, which makes the document already outdated now. The basis on which the ratings are awarded are not completely clear to me.
Yet, they have done something right. Steem is recognized for its use case, the power of its blockchain, the zero-fee, low latency, speedy transactions, the scalability and security.
And at the end, any good feedback about Steem is good for me! Yes, STEEM is definitely a buy, but @cryptoctopus, I beg to differ:
Some of us are in fact bonkers crazy.

Absolutely correct! I don't know any other currency which is undervalued as STEEM do!
So, now the world is recognizing the power of this amazing blockchain and the power of this amazing cypto currency. This is a bi news. Of course STEEM is in BULL trend! Anytime, it will go to moon!
I wish to see it at TWO FIGURE numbers soon! Valuable update!

Concerning the ratings, I am so happy to see the note given to our most favorite crypto...steem!
With the recent high prices of SBd, I can say I am among the luckiest to have been able to buy some more Steem and power up!
We are really not crazy people!

It is very interesting they mentioned Steem publicly like that. All publicity helps "get the word out".
I've been glad to see the price of Steem and SBD's stay at a higher level for as long as it has. I keep thinking it has to go down, and hopefully it won't go down to where it was before. But it keeps holding strong, maybe $3-$4 is the new bottom level pricing!

STEEM's volume picked up within TOP 20 coins ($200M+): CoinMarketCap added upbit.com's volume, STEEM in zerohedge news, Weiss-ratings picked STEEM as TOP 5 rated coin. STEEM is already up 25% while no real movement among the top cryptos.

Steem is in bullish consolidation at the moment, but at the same time it is near completion of wave 2 and this is the perfect buy zone, as after this wave 3 shall begin and wave 3 should move higher than the wave 1, so in other words wave 3 should go beyond 56K and make new high high and as per the chart analysis, wave 3 should project to a level in between 80K and 90K satoshi. So as per the chart, 34K to 37K level should be an ideal buy zone for STEEM.
So the mid term target is 80k satoshi.
Thank you @cryptoctopus and Have a great day.

Which issues are you most concerned about? I do agree that Steem is not perfect, but it would be cool to hear what you (and others who might see this comment) finds most problematic.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
One of the concerns is that @steem and the other accounts that belong to the developers hold way too much Steem. This has been an issue with other coins as well, and could easily be putting off investors.
Another concern that I have is that the witnesses could be attacked. We have 30 witnesses plus a lot of backups, but I have read several posts about how it would be potentially pretty easy for an organized hacker group to attack all their servers, since each witness typically only has one server each.
These are of course not really big issues, but I would certainly want the have good solutions to these before I would give Steem an A :)
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Until now, I have always thought that trust was the main concern with witnesses (and that the voting system solves this problem pretty well), but now that you mention it, hacking may actually pose a serious threat, depending on how often the servers are backed up. I don't fear that much information would get lost, but some downtime could definitely be possible if someone with the wrong motives and the right toolsmade a serious attempt.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Yeah, trust is of course a big concern too. As well as potential for someone very wealthy to buy huge amounts of Steem Power and vote for witnesses that follows their agenda (sounds like a conspiracy, but it's worth debating and figuring out in my opinion).
I honestly don't know what the ramifications of an attack towards the witnesses would be, but you are probably right that it would most likely be downtime for the blockchain and not loss of data.

Firstly let me say this, "I hope steem goes to the moon". After all, that is what everyone in this community wants.
Now, let us start by keeping our feet on the ground. We are of course biased and want to read as much good news as possible surrounding steem, and why wouldn't we. However, that bias can lead us to cooing over the positive news and all but ignoring the negative stuff. We can hear what we want to hear and see what we want to see. Just take a look at the upvotes from the community on positive steem posts, compared to the more cautious posts around steem.
Apparently, this is Wiess's (or any agency's) first ever rating release on cryptos, and so they have no track record in this space to judge them on. For all we know, they may be totally off on their method of crypto profiling.
They are in a business, obviously to make money, by attracting clients who will sign up for their services. What better attraction than the lure of information on the new darling of the investment markets, cryptos. Of course this was a lucrative space to move into! On their very first grading, their servers crashed under the weight of the stampede for their rating grades.
I'm not saying that steem won't be the golden child of the crypto currencies. I'm just advising that we read all the street signs and not just those that make us feel good. Otherwise we could end up in a cul-de-sac!
The clearest time to make a decision on an investment, is before we purchase. Once we are in, fear, greed and hope can and will cloud our judgement.
Allow me to leave you with this quote regarding steem. As Buzz Lightyear would say with gusto "To infinity and beyond!"

But then again, don't believe what Wallstreet tells you. They can change their ratings anytime they like.

My predictions for them by the end of the year
1 Steem - 100-150usd
1 SBD- 150-200usd

I think you might be correct with these assumptions, unless the witnesses pushes a fork to peg the SBD back to $1, which they are currently discussion about whether or not to do. Anyway, now is a great time to buy Steem!
