It has been very obvious that this is an unsustainable trend. Too much vaporware and inflated numbers, too much optimism not fueled by any hard facts, too much greed.

It was inevitable.

And so, the bubble bursted.

I mean, the Dow Jones index lost 1,175 points yesterday, [the biggest single-day drop ever](http://www.independent.co.uk/news/business/dow-jones-record-fall-points-latest-us-stock-market-financial-crisis-2011-a8196121.html).

I'm talking about the stock market bubble, what would you think :) It's _that_ bubble that bursted, not "ours".

The crypto world, although heavily correcting and battered by FUD news from old establishment, is doing quite well. Bitcoin is still 6.5 times  more valuable than it was in this exact day last year.

As for STEEM, it grew 18.3 times last year, from $0.16 to $2.94.

So we're all good, folks.
