in #digital7 years ago

While steem recently became the third-largest digital currency as measured by market capitalization, surpassing $400 million this month, some market experts are skeptical of steem and have expressed doubts about its economics.
The digital currency’s market capitalization surged in July, rising more than 2,000% from $17.9M to $411.9M between 04:14 UTC on 6th July and the same time on 20th July, CoinMarketCap figures reveal. The digital currency’s price climbed more than 1,800% during this period, increasing from $0.24 to $4.63.
"The concept itself is interesting, it is a Reddit and Quora mashup with a strong monetary incentive to produce good quality content," Joe Lee, co-founder and CIO of digital currency trading platform Magnr, told CoinDesk. "Whether steem succeeds as a digital currency will be more a reflection of Steemit’s success as a platform as opposed to the economics of the coin itself. This is a good example of a digital currency whose value will be closely affiliated to its utilitarian value as a social networking and sharing platform.block-chain-2853054_1280.jpg
