I am mainly trading BTC right now and moving profits to steem. Easy to do with BTC right now, and I could also use them to buy extra BTC coins too. But I'm hesitant with the upcoming fork. No replay protection might throw some things out of wack. In fact, I've been thinking of dumping my whole BTC wallet prior to the fork. I would have to undercut everyone if there is a sell wall, which is not something I feel good doing. Atleast if I sell now, the poor bastard knows what he's up against.
Bigger question is, if the investors look at the steemit platform, would they want to invest in it? Not the best content around here. But a growing community that's working towards that slowly.
