One thing is sure... Bitcoin is the driving force in the entire emerging crypto marketplace. Once Bitcoin recovers Steem is going to receive a boost in price. 

I think we may even have a jump that is higher than expected because Steemit is a social platform. When people talk about Bitcoin they are going to be doing it here on Steemit. 

I see this as a catalyst to mass adoption and when we reach a tipping point it could mean Steem will be incredibly valuable.
