### I was expecting a slow reaction but we got this upswing instead.

Posting about the price of Steem is what everyone wants to do when it goes up or slumps.  Having watched this coin for a long time before joining the community, I know that most alt-coins follow whatever bitcoin does.   

When bitcoin drops, Steem usually holds on and doesn't react violently because it has value in its members.  This drop in the market, whatever the cause, took a long time to bring Steem down with it which is why this immediate spike is surprising.

#### Bitcoin goes from $6,950 to $7,393 and Steem doubles.  This was a surprise.  

I have been taking what little available  money I have and putting into Steemit.  I have seen the days of seven dollar Steem and I thought I had missed the boat coming in financially only a few weeks ago (seems like longer) but, this price rise gives me much more confidence in the coin.   Let this be my first **100% power up** post.
