Steem will never been worth anywhere near what Bitcoin is because it's created out of thin air and very few people actually pay for it because you can obtain it for free.
But I have to agree there are lots of better coins out there but Bitcoin is the one you need to buy these other coins and I don't see that changing anytime soon.
Where exactly is al this free steem?
Not in my wallet, i wished it was so easy.
In the whales wallets who can then sell it all off on an exchange.
