Good day Steemian and welcome to today's Steem price update for 2/12/2020.
I have been posting the Steem price update since almost the very beginning of Steemit.com back in 2016 along with other content.
Many have came here to discuss the daily Steem price's and recent STEEM changes for now over 4 years.

If you tire of addictively looking at the charts every few minutes then instead just relax and look here for the average daily STEEM price for your daily plan or strategy.
And even if you are not planning to do anything with your STEEM I still recommend checking out these updates every so often.
So without further ado lets take a look at today's Daily Steem Price for 2/12/2020.

Should you be trading with STEEM today...?

Wow guys here we are in December! And it's beginning to look alot like Christmas with the Steem price and SBD's going up. So if you didn't see my post yesterday I decided to do a promotion for #SPUD4STEEM and so took part in the event hosted by kiwiscanfly regardless of not being eligible to win. If you don't know about #SPUD4STEEM yet then I suggest you check it out as you could win 15k delegated Steem Power, anyway but you basically have to power-up some STEEM in order to take part and so my contribution to the event was that I powered-up myself with another 320💚 STEEM🏆. Not only did I power-up another 320 STEEM but I also recently 🐬 reached Triple Dolphin Status 🐬Announcement Post. And so this recent power-up gives us the best head start towards the new goal of reaching Quad Dolphin status. We also had some great support these last few days and so I want to make sure all that support goes towards powering up. Due to a internet connection problem I missed the STEEM Power-Up Day for entering November, but no problem I think I made up for in this time round. There are various reason's as to why I was able to save abit more money in order to buy in more STEEM but I will explain later but remember there will be 10 winners this time round and so if you want to grow you account join #SPUD4STEEM so get yourself updated here 🥔SPUD December.

But here we are now wow in December our last month in 2020, what a year it been right? And under 25 days away from Christmas, well unlike yestersay where it rained for most of the day atleast for most of the day it was dry and the sun was out but it's still very cold I feel these last 2 day's have definitly been the coldest so far this year. It was preaty darn cold last night that it actully made me have a little trouble sleeping and I had to pile on the sheets lol. Today was also the first day of being partually out of lockdown or is it being compltly out of lockdown...seriously who really knows anymore regardless there was abit more normallity at work today not that any of us actually want that but yea I was not in the best of moods for it as I was tired from the little sleep I got last night. When I came out of work it had been raining for a while, again it was windy and not plesant, but once I got home and dry I noticed my cat Tinkerbell had relocated to the living room now. TinkerBell seems a little down as she normally greets me when she sees me but lately she's not been taking notice nor as lively, she is getting old now and I hope I wont lose her this Christmas. As for the Diary Game that continues running with Season 3, you can check it out if you fancy a chance at winning a possible upvote from one of the Steemit Curator accounts here Steemit Diary Season 3.

Speaking of keeping things running the covid19 madness continues on with what I call lockdown 2. The whole thing make's no sense for many different reasons including it was never even announced that we were out of the first one. I have to include that my friend and many other people are calling this " a piss poor lockdown" because of how much leeway people still have to operate their businesses or go out. I now call it "lockdown 2 and a half". The traffic on many days as got far worse I think this is because people are using them more now to avoid public transport and not catch the covid. I have worked all during this crisis as our company used a loophole within the system to keep us all working despite our government stating that all non-essential work places must close for lockdown 1. It was either work or be fired kind of attitude, but as for lockdown 2 we are this time permitted to stay running on site. The government claims normality will return by Christmas but I'm not so sure and right now they are saying we are probably going to have a "Christmas Week", meaning everybody can go round everybody's houses during this "one week". But they are also saying if we let the people have this "Christmas Week" they will then have to enforce a "Hard Lockdown" for 25 days...? And so now most people are baffled and divided by this as they worry it will cause a huge spike in covid cases.. to add to the confusion they announced that early December lockdown might be completely finish.. I mean argh what can you say it's a mess.. So apparently new covid cases have gone down by %30 since lockdown 2 which I would love to know how that is even possible considering everything as been literally running in the same way as before lockdown 2 even started if not worse.. honestly so much of this just seems like total BS. The vaccine is also said to be ready and about to roll out, the most effective one is said to be around %94 but honestly we all seem to be forgetting this as not even been properly tested for a long perioid of time which makes me feel apprehensive about it.

Anyway the focus of Steemit continues on with their new "1000 days of Steem" after the initial success of the "100 Days Of Steem Announcements". These have now became motivating for many Steemians as the SteemitTeam offer winners prizes in the form of a large upvotes. Well Justin did say he would continue working to make STEEM a success but whether this is the right way is debatable, but this here in particular gives me more hope Expanding the Country Representative but this even more so Steem Entrepreneurs Program. So with the Diary Game 3 running.. what else? Firstly did you guys check out the winner for the previous dairy game? Well they have finally been announced here Season 2 WINNERS and the TEAMS? well right here Diary Game Season 2 TEAM Winners. Well right now with the crypto challenge over you can check out instead A Better Life With STEEM along with some other challenges if you fancy your chances.

💚Since the price rise back in February unfortunately not much as changed over the months, and while yes it did go down to $0.09 it still mostly stayed between $0.18 and $0.20. There was also that mystery spike rise on March 19th taking Steem to $0.40💛! Infact it seems Steem as not been this cheap "around $0.15" since sometime last November and even falling to $0.14 sometimes. I must say that last time Bitcoin was rising this much we started to see Steem going upwards but this time not so much, I assume this means many are still selling as the price raises we did see some movements with Steem rising to $0.20. Atleast people can't complain about the price being too volatile as Steem as been mostly steady over the year. Still this opportunity is a great price to "power-up" your account cheaply and if you are under 10000 SP you might want to consider getting some, I don't say this as a way to improve your financial situation but rather to enjoy the benefits of having Steem, speeding up your account's Steem accumulation etc, after-all a small bump in price with those holding's would bring-in some nice noticeable benefits to those with some skin in the game.

💛 So it was just a few days ago that we reached "🐬TRIPLE DOLPHIN🐬" which means our collective STEEM POWER is now just slightly over 💚15000 SP!! We will of course continue to collect and lock-up even more STEEM! My new goal 🌍 now is to reach 20.000 SP🏆, hopefully by June 2021. This is basically not possible in our current situation but if I can get a few whale votes along the way during these next few months then it might just be possible. What we must remember is it's been done before which was thanks to the Diary Game Season 1 and 2 from the "SteemitTeam" plus there were a few other whales who also upvoted here and there. We are already off to a really good start I also powered-up just over 50 STEEM after hitting Triple Dolphin and I plan on buying even more STEEM for the next SPUD event which will definitely be over 50 STEEM. I also want to of course thank everybody else who votes in and for their kind support. I have now been on here for over 4 years and have never powered down once, I also continue to invest into STEEM in small quantities, meaning your votes are safe with me and help retain Steem's value. We totalled 7.841 SP at the end of 2019 and reached 15.000 on November 24th and so if you want to help me on this new quest at locking away 20.000 Steem Power in order to support and retain more of it's value then please consider leaving your best vote below.

As for Bitcoins back on March 13th we saw a huge Bitcoins downwave to $4225, on July 26th it hit 💚$10000. Bitcoins as been going slowly upwards since March this year despite the covid19 virus, and even hitting $19000 this November. As for the SBD's on Feb 13th it hit $1.00, and so we can't deny SBD's have been doing very well since getting past that Bitcoin drop, we even saw SBD's go up to $1.24. That was a few months ago more recently we saw a jump to $1.46 and then hitting $1.84 on November 18th. I mentioned the other day that this spike probably wouldn't last long and had fallen to $1.16 which I doubted would last for very much longer either but heck have you seen it's price today! But still it's remained more stable then ever around that $1.00 mark where it should be, yet unfortunately we have seen a little too often now it going below $1.00.

🌍If your a business or interested in marketing and finding a community of active users 💚 thanks to this wonderful platform you can do just that and all for free, but it is advised by many to purchase some initial STEEM Power as this will gain you more trust and viewer-visibility within the STEEM eco system and right now the price is still cheap.

Always do your own due diligence the above is only a opinion.
