Good day Steemian and welcome to today's Steem price update for 31/1/2022.
I have been posting the Steem price update since almost the very beginning of Steemit.com back in 2016 along with other content.
Many have came here to discuss the daily Steem price's and recent STEEM changes for over 5 years.

If you tire of addictively looking at the charts every few minutes then instead just relax and look here for the average STEEM price for your daily plan or strategy.
And even if you are not planning to do anything with your STEEM I still recommend checking out these updates every so often.
So without further ado lets take a look at today's Daily Steem Price for 31/1/2022.

Should you be trading with STEEM today...?

We are arriving to the end of January and if your wondering why all the potatoes it's actually simple really, did you know SPUD day is almost here? Wait no not those kind of potatoes.. but SPUD as in STEEM POWER UP DAY. It's a special day hosted by a chicken🐔.. I mean @kiwiscanfly 🐔.. among others, where you, yes you! Could be in for the chance to receive part of a massive 35,000 Steem power delegation! There are a few opportunities for getting in on the action, so if interested go here 🥔🥔SPUD🥔🥔 to learn more. There was no price update post the other day this is because on the previous night I must of hate something that my stomach didn't agree with. I woke up in the middle of the night with some uncomfortable stomach pains and feeling sick which kept me up most of the night. In the morning I continued to feel unwell in this same way and when it almost hit the afternoon I was finally being sick. I expected that after I would feel better as this as many times been the case, but unfortunately not this time but even yesterday I still felt a bit sick but I think today was the first day I haven't felt sick. Anyway initially we had not seen Steem fall this low in a while which as been very pleasing to see it hold. There was some recovery but it wasn't back to where it was before Christmas as Steem was still generally higher. I think think at one point we were actually going to escape the bitcoin downwave and instead have another rise-up in BTC price. While it would of been good is if it just held off a little longer so I could reached the 30k SP mark first but the drop helped me gather more Steem power as I predicted it could of happened if I held on the some of the SBD's. But also the price began to fall low enough $0.29 to easily buy more into Steem, the lower price provides a opportunity for those who want to get more involved with Steem to get in. Which reminds me ... there is something I'm concerned about and that's the fact that the wallet on Bittrex for Steem remains "Inactive" the Bittrex exchange is important for the flow of Steem, plus I brought more Steem to transfer onto Steemit for Power. I can't continue to contribute as much to Steem and nor can others without it costing more fees since the Bittrex wallet remains Inactive. For many others more importantly it's locking up their funds which remain useless and stuck on their exchange. I understand it says the wallet is "under maintenance" which is something I have seen happen already many times before, it specifically states that "Deposits and withdrawals are temporarily offline. Currency Maintenance.". But I also saw some information that I'm not sure about but I think it means that the wallet as been under maintenance since Tue Dec 21 2021! If this is the case that's a long time, it's been over a month now!! And I don't remember ever the wallet being offline for so long..?..well at least since the split to the hive token. It's unfortunately issues like this that feed the narrative that crypto will never work. I personally haven't seen any information from Bittrex stating it would close down the Steem wallet, but perhaps I have missed this somewhere? And if they are closing the wallet then surely provide us with the time and information to get our funds out. 🏆If your interested in perhaps winning another upvote from myself anybody who can find any updated useful information on the topic " include a source" from where the information was found, then share below on the comments section and you might just win a upvote from me "that is if your the first to comment with that particular information", or even just let me know if you have heard anything or your thoughts🏆. Maybe @bittrex could let us know what is going on? We must also remember that there was little doubt that the movement of BTC falling would also effect the price of SBD's which many were using to gather Steem-power, knowing this was getting close to collapsing had many worried about using their current strategies, but if BTC continues to hold this might still be good for a little longer. As for the weather this new year began mildly, it got colder as the days went on, but my goodness suddenly it got just really freezing cold! Near towards the end the previous week the sun started to appear more often keeping it lighter for longer but only slightly warming us up. As for this week it's been mostly really cold again. Today I was in work for the morning shift which was a little inconvenient since I had returned home last night from the cinema late after very much enjoying a film we watched. I almost feel completely asleep after the alarm set lol, it wouldn't of been good but I think the morning being so cold is what that happened and not so much the late return home. I was a little disappointed to not be doing my usual duties today but figured that would unfortunately be the case. Had to also do some extra jobs that I was not to impressed with as they were the pointless ones. Last time I was in it was a slightly more interesting day as when I got close to site I saw all the staff standing around outside, our building was in darkness. Something was clearly up so as I got closer and off the phone to ask what had happened, and being totally honest hoping it wasn't another attempted murder situation. I expected them to say it's the fire alarm, which I was right about but what did surprise me is that for once there was an actual fire. We basically had this light installed "again" which is ridiculously bright and honestly I think most of us agree that it's unnecessary. I always felt something wasn't right about it the first time around it was installed, well seems this time the electrician we had messed things up somewhere as the light was so powerful it blew a fuse that caused a tiny fire which made enough smoke to set the alarms. I believe the remaining power in the building was turned off by us for safety reasons. It took about 40 mins to clear the building of any safety faults and we had two fire engines arrive who probably thought it was a big waste of their time lol. We was told by the government that we wouldn't need to wear face masks anymore from Jan 26th. From many other companies so far all I kept hearing was how they still want people to wear them. But on the 2nd day it was so nice to get into work and see almost everybody ditch the masks, it's great to see my colleagues facial expressions again. There was also news that all travel rules would be scrapped by February, this was a complete lie and very disappointing but they are claiming another big date will come in March where all rules will be scrapped, will this finally be it?? They have only been saying that for the past 2 years... However what I did find very pleasing to hear which a colleague from work informed me about was no longer needing silly covid passes to enter clubs and bars, they are also saying they won't be firing all the medical personnel who have refused the jabs, thank goodness! There is a movie I wanted to go out to watch, wanted to go see it sometime ago, but my friend would still be working at most of it's viewing times and so being off yesterday we finally managed to go and view the movie which I was looking forward to watching but also thinking I would of been let down by it but infact they done a great job. As for the progress on fitness I lost about %70 of the weight gained by the lockdowns I done this by tracking my step count per-day and doing small daily workouts. It began back in April 2021 and it continued until the beginning of October, this is when my work schedule began to revert back to normal which made it too difficult to continue. I come to the conclusion it had to be put on hold at least until the new year began. Due to my shifts being all over the place I still find it difficult to continue, as for steps I have reset my phone and might consider trying it again as I was doing around 105k steps as my weekly goal.

🏅 We reached "🐬🐬QuinTUBLE DOLPHIN🐬🐬" on November 7th which means our collective STEEM POWER is now over 💪25000 SP!! There are around 500 Quintuple Dolphin accounts now which means that the actual number of Dolphin accounts as been growing since my journey between 20k to 25k. This is great news and I guess a obvious reason as to why the price of Steem increased. And so all these accounts together we hold around 12mil Steem, from here I hope to continue to collect and lock-up even more STEEM! My goal 🌍 is to now reach 30.000 SP🏆, hopefully by the end of June 2022. I want to thank everybody who does vote in and for their kind support, I have now been on here for over 5 years and never powered down✔️ not once!! 🚫. I also continue to invest into STEEM with small quantities using my own fiat currency✔️, your votes can help with this also. This essentially means that your votes are safe with me and help to retain STEEM's value, and since now being a "Top 200 Steem-Power Holder" it's beginning to count. Your votes may even help make it go higher in the future with plans for purchasing even more STEEM. Last year on November 24th we totalled 15.000, then on Nov 7th we reached 25.000! And so if you want to help me on this quest "locking away 30000 Steem Power" with the intention to support and retain more of it's value 👉 then please consider leaving your best vote below.
