Comparing whiskey and digital currency into writing is an excellent idea as it is easy to digest. If I were to invest in the whisky business, I will invest in these undervalued American bourbons as they are the real hidden mother lode gold waiting to be mined, just like Steemit. I couldn’t wait any longer the SMTs’ launching date, this will further skyrocket the Steem value which is good for the Steemit community.
I think Steem will be having some competition soon as other has came out with idea similar to Steemit. Company like Current, backed by Shark Tank’s Mark Cuban will release their own token (CRNC) that could be earned through social networking like participating in creating and curating media contents. But Steem is the pioneer of contents monetization and I believe it will stand strong among thousands of the cryptocurrencies out there.
