I think Steem is the best token going right now. It needs broader adoption but it makes a perfect general commerce coin. Add to that the whole ecosystem and it blows the competition away.
I can't wait for SMTs!
I don't have your faith in the bitcoin devs. I think that the problem with bitcoin lies in a conflict of interest. Btc mining is almost centralized these days. Miners benefit from higher fees.
Eth is a different matter I feel. I think the problems there stem from design flaws.
Steem is immune to both of these problems. :-)
My biggest concerns with Eth and Btc are those voiced by the article author but also the negative light these networks cast on other blockchains.
I do have faith though that within a year we will see increased adoption of Steem that will ease exchange to fiat for many people. Steem is much more than money, but all the same, it makes a damned good currency.
Thanks for the post.
Keep Steeming!
STEEM does have the advantage that it is very applicable on many levels....it is hard to shoot holes in it no matter what approach one takes. It can fill the currency void well...it is also an amazing blockchain...it has utility and is being used by 60K people daily (and growing).
To me, it is the ideal token at the money.....with continued development, there will be a lot more coming onto this network which will, hopefully, only enhance the value of the entire ecosystem.
I fully agree.
On a side note, I autovote your posts but will be missing a few till SteamAuto is all sorted out.
