Recently there are lots of buzz on the higher end of STEEM's price. Fundamental Analysts @taskmaster4450 have been preaching STEEM to be $1000 currency for eons. However, @cryptoctopus recently made [a post](https://steemit.com/steem/@cryptoctopus/how-much-can-steem-be-worth-in-the-future-impossible-usd3121-steem) where he compared STEEM blockchain to be in par with Google ecosystem rather than Facebook. Therefore he argued that STEEM could price of $3,121 if it can match Google's marketcap of $700B. Well cited technical analyst @stephenkendal have made [a vlog](https://steemit.com/steem/@stephenkendal/the-deception-manipulation-and-fraudulent-bubble-is-the-mother-of-all-bubbles-that-few-people-are-talking-about-here-s-why) where he thinks that STEEM could reach $500B market cap in the long run. At $500B market cap, a STEEM will be priced around $2000 at current supply.

I was thinking what are the structural issues that can arise from high price STEEM. As an aspirant fundamental analysis, I love to analyze through data and blogs from fellow steemitians to figure out how those structural issues rise and what are the solutions going forward. Therefore, I will write few blogs in parts to address those issues and solutions:

1. Lots of new money needs to enter each day to sustain high price. What will be the sources? Part#2

2. Large voting power to large number of people. How it will be managed? Part#3

3. How Steem's current fault of large self/proxy vote or bot vote abuse will be resolved and seen by big SMT based ICOs. Part#4

4. Can a whale or a group of users break $100s of billions behemoth that is STEEM blockchain in future equivalent to 50% attack on the blockchain? Part#5

5. A healthy, sustainable economic model on STEEM blockchain where a educated middle class dolphins arise, who check on rogue whales and uplift upcoming minnows. Part#6

6. Other possible structural issues- still thinking and need feedback. Part#7

7. Summary and Conclusions. Part#8
