On the first 'evaluation factor' above - decentralisation of holding - market manipulation can drastically effect this - as with the recent verge scam over the Christmas period - now 1 guy holds 14% o the currency....the price is now a lot less stable (potentially) for the rest of us!

Lol damn, good thing i sold it all the top. Gotta thank Mcafee for the market irrationality though lol. I don't even know what good the coin is for :p
I'm holding it, but I need to research the difference between coins some more. I'm half tempted to try and put together some 'top trump cards for different currencies... it'd be a great learning tool.
What I like about steem, is is that you can actually do something with it - ie network on here. And then there's the thing which I only just discovered - you get interest on your SP as well! How did I miss that? I kind of like that.
Of course, the downside of steem - is that you have to blinker yourself to so many of the trending posts which are just shite, not to mention the rants!
Thanks for the tip, liking your posts,
Karl.
If Bitcoin has a trending page, it’ll all be filled with proof of work gibberish anyway so human readable content on steem is at least.. something :)
Yeah steem power provides more earning power as well and you get to earn more from curating / voting!
steem's POW ledger will be a true testimony to the shallow nature of humankind in the early 21st century. I can almost imagine a Star Trek scene in which, rather than being aghast at the fact that we used to power vehicles with fossil fuels, we powered one of the earliest cryptocurrency economies with blokes in dresses doing comedy make up tutorials, 30 second video clips of dogs running in circles, manwiches and psychobabble.
I dread to think how it's going to deteriorate when it really mainstreams!
I need to sort out a strategy to make sure I stay in my 'niche'.
