Good day Steemian welcome to today's Steem price update for 5/7/2019 I have been posting the Steem price update since almost the very beginning of Steemit.com many have came here to discuss the daily Steem price's and changes for just over 2 years now.
I also want to mention just incase your wondering when perhaps something doesn't seem normal from the other regular Price update posts that the daily Steem price posts do occasionally change it's format from time to time.
But regardless of changes we will carry on as usual and by this I mean knowing the price of Steem as it's important for your daily plan or strategy and honestly even if you are not planing to do anything with your Steem I still recommend checking out these updates and keeping an eye on the price, so without further ado lets take a look at today's Daily Steem Price Change for 5/7/2019
Should you be trading with Steem today...?
The warmer weather seems to be sticking around now, but while that is great I hate how I'am required to work more hours during the better days of the year. I also met up with a old friend recently we hope to meet again soon when he returns from he's next trip up-country, we should be able to set a meeting in 3 weeks time that is if my work will let it happen. I was recently been doing some of the very early shift which means I have to work alongside my horrid boss more often, a colleague as gone on holiday and so I must cover her shifts, my last extra early shift was Friday and guess she will be back monday, I hope with this I will see less of the bossman but with this nicer weather I don't see it happening. Remember the new Steem rewards system will be taking over soon it is now on testnet, many are not happy about this change, it's putting users on edge with it's possible and most likely go ahead for the Steem hardfork 21 update, if you don't want to see these change's it's recommended you pick the right witnesses to vote on. My biggest upset is possibly not being able to continue to reward you guy's as much with my votes as they will likely be useless with us moving out of linear well.. that is unless you already get a ton of upvotes then it should be fine. And so like this rewards for comments will probably also be non-existent which is a big shame, seems these aren't good changes for those who want to help support their good followers, to which I also wonder how will this benefit those wanting to do business using Steem? I don't think they will all want to spent time curating, and from what I can tell many are still confused as to how this change will make people want to keep their Steem power. On March 10th Steem reached it's highest for the year at $0.55 and also on March SBD's had their breakout on the 13th their highest being $1.41. Firstly with Bitcoins they have recently been holding above the $8500 mark, the highest for Bitcoins on the latest upwave was beat on Jun 26th and that was at a value of $13829, there was a big pull-back but nothing that we didn't already expect, Bitcoins had been going downwards putting them to $9770 but the last 3 day's they had been recovering fast today we see Bitcoins lower at with the average around $11210. Steem is trying to stay above $0.40 with it's overall crypto ranking position being at around #68 amongst all other cryptos. As you know we beat the January high marking our highest Steem value this year at $0.55. Yesterday Steem began at $0.35 and for today slightly lower at $0.34 and to be honest this was a pretty solid day for Steem barely moving from $0.34 but there was two fall to $0.33 along the way mostly between ⏰08.00 and ⏰09.15, there was also nearly a bump to $0.35 at ⏰14.40 and right now we could see Steem going back to $0.33. While nothing much as happened with the Steem price for the year there is talk of changing it's linear reward model which is making many users ask what is the point of holding as much Steem power, this is a real shame as I hope those who are still in the game will take the opportunity to keep collecting Steem as right now we are in a seriously good place to grow our accounts the only problem is what if this becomes less important to users with the changes coming, but just remember as the price goes-up collecting actual Steem also becomes more difficult, which if you have noticed the price of Steem as indeed gone up from when we started the year. With myself included in the dolphin count we have over a total of 2000 dolphins and things are going just as I expected when it comes to wealth spreading, whales used to own about %86 of all shares on the system but as from lately would you believe that they only own %55! Now that may seem like horrid news but it's actually really not! Because if we look at say Dolphins just over 2 years ago we owned only %4 and now we own %13, basically the wealth is spreading even without changing the rewards curve. Hivemind is live along with MIRA, getting us out and away from survival mode, and in one example the "steemd" instance size's went from 488GB RAM to 61GB RAM. Ned said that after the cost reduction progress the creation of SMT's will be next but just don't expect it the have all the answers on getting the price of Steem higher plus it seems the focus instead right now is getting hardfork 21 live. If you have returned recently to Steemit please be aware that there as been a wallet split to your account so please have your keys backed-up, yes ALL of them and don't use your masterkey to log into Steemit.com instead use your posting key, remember that when you click on your wallet you will be directed to a completely different website which should be "steemitwallet.com" please don't worry as this website is safe and part of Steemit.com. For SBD's if you remember they broke record on March 13th reaching $1.41 and are currently on a "average" pegged rate, I expected it to be back on average, I say average but it's just about hanging in there as the Bitcoin movement is not helping. SBD's began yesterday with $0.99 as for today slightly higher at $1.00 and going to $1.01 at ⏰00.15 but fell to $0.98 by ⏰01.00 but then at ⏰02.50 it was on the $1.00 mark this was holding until ⏰03.55. SBD's stayed between $0.98 and $0.99 at ⏰11.40 there was another bump to $1.00 also at ⏰17.25 a fall to $0.97 which is being seen again now.
Always do your own due diligence the above is only a opinion.
