I won't lie, waking up seeing the green is probably the best way to start one's morning, but I did not expect to see the exchange that made it so to be Upbit. For those that don't know, Upbit is a Korean exchange and the pairing you see is of course for the South Korean Won.
As the title of this short post of mine suggest, if Korea is the one to help STEEM prices rise, it would not be the firs time it does so, which to me is somewhat crazy if I'm to be honest. Now, the particular order in which the last bull run happened was not precisely like this, and I'm not holding my breath either, but as I said, it did come almost exclusively from the Korean exchanges.
If you look at a regular day of STEEM trading, the one that always takes the cake is Binance. The reasons as to why are pretty obvious to anyone who is part of this space, and even though Bittrex has been supporting STEEM and SBD for a lot longer.
A word of caution to anyone who might be feeling the FOMO at the moment: "This could be short lived, trade responsibly" - The advice we've heard over and over and someway ignore over and over rings very true: "Do not invest more than you can afford to lose" - This is to say not that I believe STEEM will go to zero or anything that tragic, but if anyone is thinking "I can put my house payment wait a day, sell and have extra" That person might be in for a rude awakening.
To revisit the question I started with, Will the bull run be catalyzed by Korea again? I guess it's very likely, since the KR community is quite huge on here, as much as some might be unaware of it being the case. And maybe, just maybe, @ned reappearing has given some sidelined investors the little push of confidence they needed to buy the dip, so to speak.
At any rate, It makes me smile to see a green day for a change.
