I believe it's no coincidence of the following events and their timing.

1. The blocking of the Internal Market on Steemit.com so only his team can profit

2. the rising price of Bitcoin

3. Adding a new wallet page so that you need a special key to continue pair trading on the Internal Market. (Only his team members can do this now)

As for the price of Bitcoin..... I think the answer is always the same. Some big 🐳 whale came by and dumped some loot into Bitcoin to get the market to fluctuate really high. Then, suddenly he/she will rip it right back out, causing all the little altcoins to crash. And as they do, the whale will come by and buy up all the little cheap altcoins for like half price. It's the same story over and over again. Someone is probably just manipulating the market. I would like to think not, though.

As for the price of STEEM, the price should stay around $0.50 mark and the SBD should stay around the $1.00 mark to make any profit. If STEEM gets any higher, it's difficult to pair trade. The owner of steemit is sucking up all his profit right before our very eyes. And most people don't even know about it. He makes about 1 million dollars a week from STEEM, just pair trading.

You'll probably see our $0.452670 cent Steem drop back down soon, maybe to 0.43? When the SBD dollar got $1.06 a few weeks ago, he pulled the plug on the Internal Market for about half a day to make things balanced again. He controls & manipulates the market of STEEM/SBD mainly.
