"Steem is very ripe from an investing point of view."
That same thing was said a year ago, and since then, investors have lost a lot of money investing in the Steem coin.
"Here is a coin that is not listed on many exchanges
There's a very good reason for that. There is virtually no demand for the Steem coin outside of the Steemit forum platform.
"And, it's currently only valued around $75 million"
Which is many times more than it is actually worth.
"An easy way to increase value in crypto is to get a coin on more exchanges."
No, that is putting the cart before the horse. Getting on exchanges is easy, but you first have to create a reasonable demand, otherwise exchanges are simply not interested in listing a coin. Ask yourself why there are 2500 or more cryptocurrencies available today, yet most exchanges carry only a tiny handful of them. The reasons is simple: NO DEMAND
"There are not many projects or opportunities out there with the ingredients that steem has going for it right now."
Such as?
"With Justin's connections we could be looking at a home-run from here without really breaking a sweat."
Don't count on it! Justin is in this for Tron and for Justin, NOT for Steem or Steemit. Companies don't buy other companies to make them better; Companies buy other companies to add to their own sales and bottom lines. Any benefits realized from the Steem/Tron integration will be realized by Tron and it's owners, and not by Steem or its owners.
"NO COIN SWAP ANYTIME SOON"
Are you quite sure about that?
