On Coinmarketcap, STEEM was listed at the moment of writing at $2 which made the overall market cap of STEEM to briefly touch the half a billion mark. On Bittrex, at the same time, STEEM was trading at $2.09, but more important than that, it had a full green candle for the last hour on significant volume, around $300,000.
I think we're finally seeing a rally of STEEM and I caught myself thinking: "What if the guy who pumped SBD for the last two weeks finally realizes he was pumping the wrong coin all the time?". I mean, it's highly unlikely and I'm sure there was a clear scenario behind this pump but it still made me laugh.
Just image: someone crunching around a few hundreds Bitcoin for 2-3 weeks only to realize: "Dude, it was the other STEEM, the one without the "Dollar" in it! Huh, change of plans, let's pump the right one now".
