Yesterday we had a nice jump in the STEEM price.
I have been trying to find reasons why it happened.
But first who was buying?
Most of the volume came once again from South Korea, Upbit exchange.
This picture is from today but yesterday volume was way higher: 59,563,800.
Thank you Upbit :)
On the fundamental level, I could only find two good reasons.
The Hivemind update by the steemit team and the other was an article on forbes.com about the Hardfork Series where also Steemit.com is mentioned.
Article: here.
from the article:
“The HardFork series is one of the first projects of its scope to take this nontraditional, decentralized fundraising path,” explains Karr, who early on saw cryptocurrency’s potential for his projects. “For HardFork, Steemit.com was an obvious place to start with our community building and initial funding; it’s where we raised our incubation money.”
Steemit.com is a cryptocurrency-backed social media platform where artists earn money for content they post. The team raised an initial 30k on the platform by creating and sharing content, which was enough to produce a teaser trailer. The teaser debuted at Steemit’s annual conference in Lisbon, Portugal last November, where it received tremendous audience support.
The trailer for the serie:
I talk about it more in my vlog.
ps. If you know my vlogs you probably are familiar with my inability to look into the camera for a long time. I tried to work on that today but noticed it takes about 30% of my brainpower just to remember to do that so it's all a bit slower today. Let me know if this is something I should pursue.
ps2. This is the Steemwhales link I refer to in my vlog here

I'm very happy about the jump in price. Sounds like hardfork series is setting a pace for the greatest future

no wonder there was a bit of a jump of a price yesterday, and i'm proud that forbes mentioned it too, facebook now has a problem in privacy and steemit will provide a solution to that. :)

That's true is Facebook the next Myspace? that is the question to determine if #Steemit will be a true success.

Sooner or later everything will flip to the limit where prices will be irrelevant.
Just stick around and the horizon is getting clearer.
Keep on steemin'

Have you noticed overall in cryptocurency when there are bad news itnpiles up one after another and it automatically pushes the price down. Than all of the sudden bad news disappear and good news start to pile up. This gets me thinking is this psychology of humans when bad news come they tend to concentrate on bad things and the same when it comes to good news? Anyway I honestly e that good news will actually start to pipe up and we see higher Steem prices as well as overall crypto.
BTW: the camera is fine to me! Dtube is getting better!

Mark @exyle Interesting perspective on Hardfork. I watched the Trailer and I don't really have an opinion good or bad so we will see what develops. As for the price of STEEM and SBD yes it was nice to see the rise yesterday and if it comes back down again then I know you and I are waitiong to get more...............

I did not notice any difference in style or delivery speed. Looking into the camera is a non-issue for me. I am curious... how can you measure your personal brain power usage? I do not have such capacity.

Yes, about the increase in volume coming in from the south Korean market, @dragosroua mentioned that yesterday. Personally, I believe much of the pump resulted from the Hivemind update from the development team. That and others as you mentioned likely cause that little pump.
On the issue of bidbots, I don't really wanna talk about them anymore. Let's just see what the future holds but if things are not done in moderation, then someday it will get worse.
I noticed a bit of a struggle trying to keep your eye on the camera today. I think it's been in you quite a long time that you will have to work a lot more in order to be able to do it effortlessly. Off course, it's something I think you should work on. It's necessary to try to focus on the camera when talking to people. Diverting your eyes from the camera have a little negative effect on your audience attention.

i think if you are comfortable with a style of talking then go with it. the more natural you feel the better. if you feel like you don't know who you are talkin at, who's behind the camera and that makes you feel weird don't do it. simples! :) i think the vlog style was fine anyway because you impart information from an honest mental place. all good dude.

Good morning dear, about your ps.
I just watched your video and I noticed that it looked if you had a big bandage on your right ear, I even saw some blood. But later I saw that it was the sun that caused it! I even didn't see your whole face on the screen. The lower part of your face (your beard) was hidden.
I like the way you look into the camera on the other video's better than on this one.
It was great to notice that for the first time, I didn't have to wait a few minutes to watch your video. It played/loaded immediately. Did they do something at Dtube to make this happen?

Morning @exyle. The hard fork series looks interesting. Thanks for sharing it with us.
Thanks for the heads up and the Steemwhales link. I really like that idea myself because it means the community can have more of a voice about what they do and don't want with regard bots.
I didn't notice that you don't look into the camera so, from my point of view, I would say just keep on doing what you've always done! 😍

I don't mind that you are not always looking at the camera. In fact, I think it adds to your style as it appears you are giving serious thought to what you are saying. I don't think anyone will feel left out if your are not constantly looking into the camera. If you're not comfortable doing it, then do what makes you feel comfortable. There's no rule that says you have to stare at us.

The argument that bots help investors get something back so they hold STEEM is really not valid to me: as yu always say, this platform lives from the users and the bots are suppressing users, so steemit could do its way like bitcoin as a bubble, but not as an attractive platform as it is supposed to be.

I just read an article about South Korean millennials are "reeling" from the bitcoin bust in South Korea. I don't follow these things these days, but I can see where they are pulling out of what was an inflated South Korean Bitcoin market and are looking for the next big thing. Should Steem not perform then I can see them dumping STEEM as well. Like I said though I don't know much about these things.

Hi @exyle! I love your opennes to new ideas and your effort towards trying new things! You did GREAT at looking into the camera! You have such nice eyes! It felt comfortable to have the extra space in your vlog as you pushed your comfort zone it helped you to slow down. Which was a change. But, both ways are good imo. I guess it just depends what you like to do most!!
The trailer was very trippy! Looks like a well done production. So cool it's through the efforts if tokens. So neat.
Hope your wrist is on the mend! I always enjoy and feel inspired by your blogs. Congrats also on your contracts closing and your new life beginning. Perfect time to do it with spring now upon us! Take good care. ☘🌻

It's a great achievement if steemit was mentioned in Forbes. At least we can say that big companies and names currently see this platform existing in their radars. Just one good ring in their ears and we might see some huge investment coming from these people.
