I do think we're going to see a a general uptick to the value of Steem over the next 4-6 months.

Me too. Especially once more news about SMTs is released and more and more people get excited about it. It think many crypto investors outside our Steem community still haven't heard about SMTs yet. The price can go much higher once people begin to comprehend it.

I'm not clear what initiated this run on SBD today are you?

Pump and dump.
