It looks like BTC may be trending back upwards. The past few days it returned above $9k, and just in the past few hours it seems to have passed $10k, being $10,070 as listed on google at time of posting.
Various things may have led to this current pricing level. Indeed Publius Syrus may be correct that "Everything is worth what a purchaser is willing to pay."
Perhaps various events like the stock market or various announcements like FedBook's new coin which will be discussed in a future article may be related to why BTC is pricing at the level at the current time.
Can't imagine if BTC goes to all time and steem follows. I imagine people will start making a lot of cool stuff on here, especially if the price doesn't return from the all time highs. Will be interesting to see.
