Yes, I agree with you that the behaviour of BTC has not helped steem, since it's the main crypto trading pair for steem. The recent launch of lightening network (LN) should help increase the value of BTC. Regarding investors, once they perceive improved value, they'll invest more to gain more. The fear of 'silver slippage' is a genuine one. Investors need to act fast in order to protect their investments. Thanks for your wonderful contribution and support, @enjar.
