This July there was a 2,000% price increase in the value of Steem.

According to DashTimes ;

"the hard fork on July 4, 2016 saw

$1,300,000 of Steem paid out to Steemit users. "

This chart from steemanalytics.it shows the jump from .67 to .861 to 1.83 to Pie 3.14
and although the price has gone down a bit, at under $2 it is still a great time to get in.
