Steem is a great platform, but will need to address several user interface and usability issues before enjoying a $1000 per steem price point. Simply put, to the average user, it is confusing and managing several keys / passwords that cannot be recovered are foreign concepts. Additionally, formatting posts and adding images is not yet an intuitive process. Given this, I feel the price of steem will rise but much more conservatively. I can see steem in it's current form rising to $20 USD but think it is more likely going to remain valued under $10 USD until the issues listed above have been addressed.
