Interesting topic with interesting thoughts...
I have asked the same question a week ago about selling and buying pressure... I'm looking on the price in two ways... in the short-term and long-term...
Steem looks like an interesting, but I'm afraid that it is more short-term positioning... If I understood right, there are no downvotes, bidbots are running around as crazy, it a money-printing machine... So, it will maybe go up in price because of the % hype... and ROI...
On the other side, the Hive has the community, and it's working on growing that community even more, which gives me a high hopes about its value for the long-term...
