What a time to be alive.... 🙌
And here we are, deep into the month of April and for the 2nd week in a row...We're up!
We started our little HODL challenge on April 1st with the price of Steem at $1.86 and last week it hit $1.94...
Not bad right?
After all the red days we've seen since the beginning of the year, having back to back weeks of positive news was a welcomed sign...
But then, the markets starts to SLOWLY start an upwards trend and here we are, sitting on a very nice increase since last week...
(Via CoinMarketCap at 2:00 pm eastern)
Yup, that's a full dollar more per Steem this week since last.
So if we held the original 54 tokens of Steem since April first we are sitting at $158.76 .....A VERY nice haul :)
Disclaimer: The beauty of this 'challenge' is that I really don't care if the price is $1 per Steem token or $10. $10 would be dandy but the fact that this is a blockchain that I use daily and believe in it's mission to decentralize the social sphere...I'm good no matter where the price goes...
But who am I kidding...I'm LOVING the nice run it's having 💪
What could be some of these reason this week for the increase?
The markets in general seem to be doing well. Is there a new bull run on the horizon? Who knows....But the majority of the news seems to be positive in the crypto world.
Steem developers have been busy! From the new 'bSteem' and 'steemia' mobile apps. To this uber-cool @fundition project....Development and creativity is alive and well on the blockchain.
It's been a great week so I'm crossing my fingers that we continue to see the increase across the board...I myself continue to invest in Steem and dollar cost average my investment in it...Even though I did spend a little extra when the prices were super low the last few weeks.
Let's keep going and see where we end up on April 30th :)

Thanks for the blogging Jon. Pity we don't have STEEM in our Chilly Bot to mine.
If you don't know reader, Chilly Bot is part of the splendid Bitcoin Bully.
Which I'm a prodly member of. :-)
However at Chilly Bot I now mine PEERCOIN which also have a significant trend as STEEM.

Steem works differently than other traditional coins and token. You could say that you actually 'mined' by making that comment. It gets super confusing but that's what I'm so excited for it. Anyone can 'get in the game' and create content by blogging, or even commenting!

It was a pretty good week for the cryptos, wasn't it?
By the way, thanks for pointing out the @fundition project, I've just checked it out, looks awesome. I'll dive more into it at a later time. At first hand, there are still quite a few things unclear to me.

Yeah I think it's just starting but I see huge potential for that....Very similar to Kickstarter etc.

LOL Yeah it's a no brainer for me. I always say all the projects in the crypto space are fantastic on paper...But Steem is something that's not a concept. It's something online now that we all can use each and every day.
