What a way to start the new year!
Not only did Stellar cement it's place at number 9 on CoinMarketCap, it battled it out with NEM for the number 8 position and briefly obtained it!
As of 23:47 GMT Stellar is currently sitting at $0.5020 with a percentage increase of 40.350% from this time yesterday according to CoinMarketCap.com Source: https://coinmarketcap.com/currencies/stellar/
So Without further delay, lets get into whats been going on in the world of Stellar with the facts, ranking and news. We'll then move onto my thoughts and opinion about Stellar on the First day of 2018!

Personal Opinion
The Last 24 hours have been a joy to watch. Not only did Stellar break the 50 cents mark, it broke into the number 8 position so soon after breaking into the top 10. Now of course a correction is coming. While Stellar is still under valued in my humble opinion, the recent surge doesn't have the necessary support to be maintained. A correction isn't that bad and can give people time to get a great price on Stellar before the next jump in price.
