I think bitcoin's value is in correlation to the value of all altcoins is very obvious since bitcoin is the big daddy of all cryptocurrency and is most people's gateway into the crypto markets. I guess we can only move together as a whole and that cryptocurrency is still very long way from mass adoption so potential growth is huge. As with all things, patience might be good and steem will grow in value slow and steady. Growing pains like spikes and dips are to be expected.
