Thanks for your post @Charles... nice point on the loan function.
To your point "Steem blockchain processes transactions faster and more efficient than top cryptocurrencies even Ethereum and Bitcoin combined."
Is this because of its underlying technology you could point me to to better learn about it, or mainly because the transaction volume and load is less than BTC and ETH at this time?
Agree with you 100% on the blessing in disguise price. I grabbed a little bit yesterday at $1.08. Could be the best prize zone for a while if the crypto world starts recovering from the China ICO FUD dump/market manipulation, but had goals to diversify with other tokens. $1.08 v $1.30 etc... won't make too much of a difference in the long term, especially when you can earn STEEM by using the site to lower your average total cost of fiat expense.
Keep on Steemin on.
Steem uses Graphene which is very fast read this post (steem , bitshares and EOS are developed by Dan with a solid technology)
