March 10th Steem reached it's highest so far this year at $0.55 along with SBD's which also had a breaker on March 13th with it's highest being $1.41. With Bitcoins they have recently been holding above the $5000 mark, the highest for Bitcoins near the latest upwave was $5390. Bitcoins was holding around just under $5100 but we had a downwave going from $5176 to $4986 but a few days ago they recovered and went-up even further to $5210 they continued upwards trying to get to the $5300 mark which it was just shy of reaching with bitcoins at $5280, but yesterday and today bitcoins reached past the $5300 mark with $5344 being the highest. For Steem they have been trying to hold above the $0.40 mark after falling from $0.50 and seems to being doing well not going below $0.40. Steem and it's overall ranking position is around #52 amongst all the other cryptos. As you know we beat the January high marking our highest value at $0.55. The past few days Steem as been presenting themselves with various opportunities to buy-in and I believe it was on the 11th that was the best day to buy recently. The drop in Steem was expected but not down to $0.40 so quickly nor that we would be on $0.42 for such a long period but rather we expected it to drop to around $0.46. And yup we started today again at $0.42 interesting as we saw a rise in Bitcoins and Steem hanging around at $0.43 more often lately. But today we saw the movement expected from a few days ago as Steem jumped to $0.43 at ⏰01.25 this continued for a good while and almost looked like it was about to drop again around ⏰16.00 but instead at ⏰18.50 Steem climbed and made it to $0.44 and so far still holds. Anyway if nothing much will happen for Steem in 2019 which is slowly looking more doubtful then I hope those who are still in the game will take the opportunity to keep collecting because right now we are in a seriously good place to grow our accounts remember as the price goes up higher collecting actual Steem becomes more difficult. I also want to make it clear that I was apparently wrong in pulling the trigger too fast that we was out of survival mode, it seems according to Steem INC they still found themselves to be in survival mode but now we are officially crawling out. But longer in survival mode the conclusion from all this is to continue cutting of the costs of nodes. Hivemind is now live the "steemd" instance size's went from 488GB RAM to now shockingly 61GB RAM! Focus is on a multi index RocksDB adapter which is a new technology in development to allow the Steem blockchain nodes to store almost all of it's necessary data to a disk in a modern database instead of RAM, this move will make nodes cheaper. Ned also said that the cost reduction progress will still remain above the creation of SMT's which I feel is the right move. Did you know that after the wallet split from steemit.com is complete that both logged in and non-logged in users will see the adds on Steemit.com, I would rather not but understand this is part of keeping us out of survival mode if that was to happen again. It's also come to my attention people are still learning about the wallet split and feel this will continue to be a problem for a while so please have your keys backed-up, yes ALL of them and dont use your masterkey to log into Steemit.com, also when you click on your wallet yes you will be directed to a completely different website which should be "steemitwallet.com" please dont worry as this website is safe and part of Steemit.com. After your initial log-in you wont need to use your masterkey and so if you still don't understand how your private keys work or are relatively new to Steemit you can go to the Steemitblog account for a more recent official explanation. For SBD's they broke record March 13th reaching $1.41. Currently SBD's are at a "normal" pegged rate, which we have seen for the last 10 days. I'm in hope that with Bitcoins going up SBD's stayed above the $1.00 mark but just 2 days ago we dropped under at $0.99. Today's start was also good with SBD's at $1.02 this was better then yesterday as SBD's bumped-up to $1.03 which continued until around ⏰09.00 when it managed to hold $1.03. At ⏰10.45 it hit $1.04 but it also fell to $1.02 which became the average for the rest of the day while it fell to $1.01 I think 3 times, if we are lucky we could see a $1.03 start.
Always do your own due diligence the above is only a opinion.
