It's pretty funny that a big fuck up has subsequently caused the price of STEEM to go up instead of down, but it makes sense... they need to have liquidity for their users
Liquidity for STEEM users obviously already exists, but not so much, so that the popularity of STEEM tokens is still inferior compared to other top altcoins, and at the time of the successful launch of the steemite, the steemite had experienced sharp progress and the price of STEEM tokens was also very expensive at the time that, although in the following year STEEM tokens have plummeted and steemites begin to be ignored by many users.
