Incredible, almost all the top list crypto currencies in the green. Even one I do dislike is going up very fast. Unfortunately Dash seems to have a slight drop, looks like it follows the movement pattern of Bitcoin. It is amazing to watch. Debt free value is on the win. Could this really be that the ETF {Exchange Traded Fund} blow off was indeed a blessing in disguise? Maybe we really do have to thank the ASEC {American Securities and Exchange Commission} for this.
Yes, cyptos are free from central control, free from debt and limited in inflation. Looks like more people got that recently. The total market capitalization went to a new ATH {All Time High}. Almost a billion in trade over a 24 hour period. And Steem is on a 20% rise, now where will that go to next?**
Even bought me some Litecoin {LTC} because that one was still a bit on the low side. And because the LTC developement team is supporting SegWit I think they will go with the flow. Bitcoin 0.14 bringing a positive change about and I think the balance will soon tip over for the Bitcoin Core. Meaning SegWit will get activated maybe already halfway the total of 26 periods. And it is not only about larger blocks, scaling, but also about the lightning network. Also endorsed by the Litecoin developement team.
And in the meanwhile Steem is awaiting HardFork 17, bringing about some changes, but the reward curve change is prosponed for HF 18. Yet, exciting crypto times ahead. And could it be that the total crypto market cap will hit 30 billion soon? One would almost hope the traditional market would turn its back on cryptos completely. Because it can not be centrally controled, yes true, it is decentralized, it is freedom!
In the meanwhile the Steem Legend level accounts seem to have an interesting experiment going. Having the cool side effect that even small Steem Powered accounts can vote and see that it matters in potential payout. It is fun to curate that way, getting visible feedback in value. Great to do some fanatic upvoting. And in the meantime watching the market price of Steem go up. Whistle while you work, that kind of idea. Upvoted some promoted posts because they actually burn Steem in the proces, deflation in effect. There is much going on right now and it is great to witness and be part of it. No idea where this going to. Will the crypto market cap go in high speed growth now? Who will say... These are definitely exciting times!
Let's Steem 'n Roll!
