Well, this question starts to pop up more and more on the Cindicator app. Questions about Steem and the way the price is going to break (up or down), 1 week forecasts on the price and also rankings between Steem and other altcoins.

It's a good thing that it is up there in the questions and appearing regularly amongst other altcoins, as it means that there is at least some investor interest in our blockchain. Of course, it isn't among the nearly daily questions about the price and directions of other more established coins such as Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Monero (XMR) and Ripple (XRP). However, you do have to start somewhere, and this last month or two has seen it creep into the questions on a roughly weekly basis.

Which does lead me to an awkward position, as it means that I'm answering the question with a bit of an emotional attachment twist to it. Most of the other questions, I can answer with a pretty analytic look at the price pattern and then jump straight in with a prediction. However, for STEEM, I am finding that I can't do it.

At the time of voting, the question was if STEEM was going to rally upwards by roughly 10 percent, to around 0.0001321 BTC. In my head, looking at the chart, my first thought was an instant NO. I didn't think it would be likely that in the next 7 or so days, that STEEM would make it. However, I did go against my instinct and vote 100% for the upwards motion, that it would make it over the 10% threshold in time. At the time of writing this, I'm afraid that I really should have gone with my head as STEEM is now trading at 0.00011857 BTC.

However, that said, 7 days is an eternity in this market.....

Maybe before casting my analysis, I should have clicked the link to learn more about what the hell STEEM is?

Keep Your Crypto Holdings Safe with Ledger

Ledger is one of the leading providers of hardware wallets with the Ledger Nano S being one of the most popular choices for protecting your crypto currencies. Leaving your holdings on a crypto exchange means that you don’t actually own the digital assets, instead you are given an IOU that may or may not be honoured when you call upon it. Software and web based wallets have their weakness in your own personal online security, with your private keys being vulnerable in transit or whilst being stored upon your computer. Paper wallets are incredibly tiresome and still vulnerable to digital attacks (in transit) and are also open to real world attacks (such as theft/photography).

Supporting a wide range of top tokens and coins, the Ledger hardware wallet ensures that your private keys are secure and not exposed to either real world or digital actors. Finding a happy medium of security and usability, Ledger is the leading company in providing safe and secure access to your tokenised future!
