Great article! Many people think that Steem and Steemit are essentially the same thing. What you said,
First you need to understand that there is a difference between Steem and Steemit. Steemit (the site you are on right now) is just a front-end of the Steem blockchain.
Is absolutely correct. Steem is one of the few blockchain projects that already have a huge user base. But its market cap now is not even in the top 20. As you correctly pointed out, using Blocktivity will allow you to have a better perspective of the actual state of blockchain and which project is living up to the hype.
In addition, SMT is due to for release this year. It will bring in a whole new dimension to the Steem blockchain. Upvoted and resteemed! Cheers!
Thanks for reading through all of it :)
Yep, market cap is lagging to follow up it's potential, but that gives us who see it a good advantage over others to buy/earn as much steem as possible before the market cap reaches it's true value.
Agreed on the SMT part, 2019 is going to be huge for steemit when all the SMT projects start evolving and getting a big userbase. Thanks for the support!
