### Brace yourself... New records are coming!
STEEM has risen to an amazing $7.40. I can hardly believe it. I expect this price surge will lead to more attention for Steem which will attract a lot of new users. So I think it is safe to say we can expect new records of posts, votes and active users in the coming days.

Think about what will happen to the price as soon as more exchanges start trading STEEM.

Yesterday marks a new record of nearly 200,000 posts and comments!
