Yes, I too wonder why. Steem ‘should’ have been rising over the past year. The platform is thriving more that ever and always has new users, current users gaining more SP etc. I wonder what is happening. It’s hard to find out how and why crypto markets fall like they do. BTC has been flying but nothing has had that type of bull movement. Everything used to basically mimic btc... but not anymore. Also, XRP is like a new stablecoin, it has hardly moved in a year and it was such a promising asset... well... it’s still early, let’s see what the second half of the year brings :)
