@denmarkguy,i think that steem dollar is still going to rise,from a source i read from,it was suggested that steem dollar will fall at the beginning of 2018 but it will late rise back at middle of the year and it will rise to a very huge difference toward the ending of the year 2018.i think this is the time to buy steem marketer buy steem dollars at a very cheap rate and later sell at high rate when steem dollar is at the high side.
