Will the price of Steem keep rising or falling? Why will it rise or fall?

This week, we begin the pioneer edition of our debate with Steem forecast, being our focus of the week. Steem as well as other cryptos have witnessed a drastic drop in prices over the past few weeks. While new investors find this bear run as good news, old investors are weeping or having their fingers crossed for the next bull run.
In hope or fear, Steemians are asking themselves this one question: Will the price of Steem keep soaring just like it has done over the past few days, or will it keep sinking, as it's the trend with other cryptos?

Participate in the debate by commenting on this post with your thoughts on whether the price of steem will keep rising or fall.
