It has REAL value, fiat currency has value but not for very long,. Always has an expiration date, they are more like intergenerational IOUS
steem is areal currency backed by a blockchain that can't be altered so its always going to be used as money now, like bitcoin... And steem could be worth more than bitcoin one day, its very useful has so many transactions , millions of times more than bitcoin, so many possibilities, so yeah steem I really believe will be worth thousands of dolars per steem in the next 3 to 7 years
