That's a great observation, however, I believe STEEM has potential to rise faster than its top peers since its top events/upgrades are still ahead- millions of users with easy signup, community in next HF and then SMT. However, that panic actually depends the investor who bought it at what price. For example, someone who bought STEEM at 10c, he is still up 4000% up, for somebody who bought at $1, he should not be sad, since it is still 400% higher but for somebody who bought at $6 or even $8, they may feel little bit uneasy. However, STEEM has much more potential to go beyond $10, or $40 even $100, some reputed investors (@stephenkendal, @taskmaster4450, @cryptoctopus ) think it can go beyond even $1000.
