steem is up and im not in it

I have lost more bitcoin trying to hold and trade steam in the past then any other crypto currency ~ I almost want to buy some on Poloniex but I will watch for a few days ~ Maybe the New Guy who joined Steems team is actually making it happen ~ Whatever hes doing both steem and stem dollar are over 10 percent up for last few days and actually impressive on days like today where Bitcoin is way up and over $1270 and Steem to percent on bitcoin is still up 10 percent for last few days ~ Steem still scares me though ~ lost over 2 bitcoin because of steem a month ago ~
