Has positivity returned to Steem chain?

After clouds sunshine!

Steem has been through chaos due to severe crypto winter, @steemit firing 70% employees, postponement of much vaunted SMT, @ned's long absence, @steemit's power down, possible fork to null @steemit's instamined stake etc.

Steem went to low as 21 cents, 55 ranks in CMC and negativism was ruling all over the place.

Now these chaoses created dramatic movements- mostly in positive direction. Fearing out isolation, @ned became super visible in radio shows, discord channel or slacks. Paradoxically, price of Steem was rising without any clue. Even rumors have become positive such Samsung buying out Steemit. Steem returned to rank as high as 39 and price doubled from the bottom. A steem alliance is formed to organize the developments of steem. Everything looks in motion.

Looks like order comes out of chaos!

Will community, thought leaders, visionary @ned and stakeholders can keep their enthusiasm in coming days to make Steem great again. Steem is still undervalued. It has still large sell pressure due to inflation and algorithmic sell from Steemit. Release of SMT and Oracle look eons away.

However, we have to win the game one step at a time. Steem is still one of the most scalable blockchain. Though onboarding was decentralized, we still have to develop tools for mass adoption. We have large numbers of DApps, but are we attracting large number of new users. Steem's node cost have to fall down to massive adoption exchanges. Finally, Steem has to be attractive to investors so that it rises in the market cam in the CMC.

Steem with its dedicated and caring community, chaotic but visionary leader @ned and already competitive technology has better chance to survive this crypto-winter than other shiny, hyped and pompous blockchains.
