I think the price of Steem will be directly related to the success of the platform. I think the price will rise as results, updates and number show the growth of Steemtit platform. The numbers are here but it reminds me of myspace or twitter in the early days. Definitely a lot of things right going on. All it will take is one new report or a few main stream acknowledgements and $10 isn't crazy. Right now everyone is giving Facebook this money when they use that platform, only a matter of time before folks wake up & change.
