STEEM made a new blockchain transaction record in yesterday. When comparing to Ethereum blockchain transaction average speed, STEEM recorded around 2 times (2X) transaction speed so far. This is unbelievable performance from any kind of blockchain on planet earth. All points works positive on this amazing blockchain. Therefore, I think STEEM will March to 10 in next couple of weeks time.
