Overall opinion: Overall, markets are ending the week on a very positive vibe, although the gains are not spectacular. The consistency showed by all the major crypto assets is encouraging. SBD appreciated slightly and reached parity again with STEEM. Both tokens are advancing in a less hairy way, which indicates more constant interest and less pump and dump behavior.
