I agree with the importance of knowing the founder, but also knowing the dev community who is actively engage in improving the crypto is probably more important.
It seems to me that btc has lost its way, eth is counting on major future changes that's not yet battle-tested, and even LTC has no real function other than a gateway coin, I am curious also why Charlie sold all his LTC, and what would happen if in the next 2 years, when there are 20 new fiat-gateway crypto, and 10 of them have lower fees than BTC, ETH, and LTC?
My resolve is that Steem is still the premium stable functioning coin. But hey it's just my 0.02cents of SBD.

May I make a small suggession to optimize your returns?
Try giving your Steem Power a rest, you need to give your 100% up-vote a rest for at least 2-3 days.
At full power you can get $3 an upvote, now you are at $0.70, so it's taking you 3.5 full upvote to get the same reward.
Do this for next 2-3 days, upvote your readers 5% max. Then on the 3rd day you can resume higher % upvotes.
You're currently losing 60% of upvote income for yourself and for your followers. I hope this helps :)
Thanks for the tip , I really should read the manual { : - \
Agree the coins community is everything, As soon as one coin goes down all of them will take a hit. The most stable currency will win overall I think because that's where people would lock in their gains. but, wadoweno?
