Will it hold? Not sure, but I like steem going forward. Not just because I own a bit, but also because how does a blogging platform sit at $2 very long after hardfork 19? Rewards went through the roof, without increasing inflation of STEEM. This is just the thing to get low level investors interested in the platform.

Guys, we have not even begun to use Steemit.com at its full potential. We have not even begun to get creative with it yet.

@papa-pepper and his survival challenge which pays out $450 SBD is what I am talking about here for creativity. He has demonstrated some real creativeness in his contest. And just look at that payout... huge rewards possible on Steemit with just contest potential. This is just one area, but let me focus on it some more.

Starting July 1st, a ragtag band of national patriots and contest lovers have gotten together on Steemit to compete. This competition will be like none other before, because it is multi-faceted, spreading the breadth of the Steemit arts, culture, and knowledge. It is limitless, because like great sporting events before it such as the Olympics, it spans a gauntlet of challenges. What is this grand contest you ask?

STEEMWARS

*artwork thanks to @bearone *

You see, #STEEMWARS is different than ordinary Steemit. The reason #steemwars is different is because this level of great contests, along with YouTube marketing from myself and others, could become an external draw to Steemit.com. Why be on Steemit? To compete!!!

Just myself I am in the initial phases of planning a contest I will run for #steemwars. Much to discuss, much to plan. What I will say is that I am able to commit 250 STEEM to prizes winnings for #STEEMWARS !!!

The latest planning article can be found here if you want to participate: https://steemit.com/steemwars/@sirknight/steem-wars-the-world-warns-australia-we-re-preparing-for-battle-now-could-someone-get-me-a-cup-of-earl-grey

Be aware, the US is forming up as well: https://steemit.com/steemwars/@swenger/my-fellow-americans-the-aussies-are-coming-we-must-unite

THE NEXT STEP IN GETTING THIS CATEGORY VIRAL INSIDE/OUTSIDE STEEMIT

1. RESTEEM Steemwars posts! Do a favor for STEEM, those tokens you are holding and invested in! Promote #steemwars ... you can promote it by resteeming other #steemwars posts. (Not this article, since this was a trojan horse to get your attention! (unless you want to)) Some good candidates: WWII Begins ... Nations Mobilizing for Battle

2. @jerrybanfield - Once competitions begin, we need @jerrybanfield to do a video about steemit contests and cover in that video #steemwars !!! Many of his viewers would love to compete, and this could get them sucked-in to Steemit.com ... free contest money? YES! Someone go tell Jerry.

3. Do you manage social media outside of Steemit.com with decent followers??? You can be promoting #steemwars ... You can get affiliated and run your own contest! You could compete yourself! Many possibilities!

@sirknight is the brain child of this masterful event, I am just along for the ride!
