RE: Daily Steem Stats Report - April 13 - STEEM is up 45%

in #steemit6 years ago

We've seen steem surge before, so I'm not getting too excited. It's part of a general rise, but it's gone up more than most. Maybe the recent media coverage is helping. We need to see some updates to the platform before it can really take off. Hardfork 20 still looks to be a way off.

Sort:  

Hopefully we will soon see an announcement from the Steemit team that justifies this price surge. Otherwise, I think you are right and there's a good chance that the price will drop again. We'll see...

If there was a burst of buying ahead of an announcement, doesn't that indicate insider trading?

Insider trading or something has leaked.

True - stupidity or negligence is always a more likely explanation than deliberate wrongdoing.

Indeed - maybe it's media coverage or maybe it's just another pump.
