Steem and BitShares are blockchain brothers, born from Dan Larimer's lifelong mission to secure life, liberty and property for all. Steem and BitShares are now surpassing their all time highs and competing for the top spot as the most valuable chain.
Steem
Steem has the advantage of being a social media platform that produces high value content that automatically draws in users and investors even from beyond the cryptocurrency space. This has caused a viral effect for Steemit, reflected in the website being ranked < #10000 globally.
BitShares
BitShares has the advantage of being a decentralized exchange that allows for trading of many different assets, enabling it to compete with major financial institutions and take on trillion-dollar markets like the derivatives-market. This is reflected in assets like bitUSD/bitGOLD that exist as genuine cryptocurrencies while tracking the respective values of USD/gold.
Conclusion
Both Steem and BitShares are good candidates for being billion dollar blockchains for different reasons. Their underlying technologies will allow them to scale to a global level, and they are backed by a pioneering and growing Graphene community of visionaries, developers, and entrepreneurs.
I'm not sure who will take the lead here. I am more familiar with steemit due to being here.
Blown away Bitshares took the lead! I guess Dan did work on both projects so makes sense!
Really cannot wait for EOS to launch!
Me too, this guy really seems to know what he is doing.
I just see they sent out an email about token release for EOS too! Woot!
awesome. I cant wait to get on board for the next deep run
Awesome I cant wait to get on board
You tell us! I say Steem :)
Wait what, Steem is 2.79?
:o
:o
:o
We are making history!
I think Steem, all the way!
The Altcoin surge of 2013 was amazing. It is nothing compared to what has been happening these last couple
months.
Here's hoping to this surge ending in consolidation.
I sold bts for steem yesterday. At this point they are both in cruise mode. Steem for the win...
I hope steem goes higher and higher..!
Steem has a great platform that is growing constantly, a fantastic user base, plus I don't know anything about bitshares ;)
Man this is making me excited for EOS. I am biding a whole lot for that release.
74% rise for BitShares... !!!
Hope to see Steem achieve the same in the coming days.
I don't fully understand bitshares. But I really need to look into it, and maybe buy some or get involved. I have missed out on too many crypto opportunities and I cannot afford to miss out on anymore :(
Six months ago Steemit was number 10000 and now it is number 2000 on Alexa ranks si the progress is evident ! What about APPICS ? What do you think about it ?
Nice article, I think (and hope :D) longterm Steem will take the lead!
i support dan for his mission with brain.
I really hope that steemit makes it to the $10 a unit that, that Jerry Banfield weirdo was purporting. Man that guy is annoying as heck, but hopefully it pays off.
What do you think of Peerplays and EOS, will they overtake them?
'A rising tide lifts all boats.'
I'm happy to see BTS climbing. Hope it becomes the de facto exchange people go to for crypto. Success of either chain helps legitimise the other. Long may it continue...
Upvoted and followed. Lots of great things will happen with both blockchains. Thanks for sharing this great content.
steem has better tech as far as I know and since it has social media users which are more than exchange users, has more potential to grow.
As I see, Steemit community and developers are extremelly active with moving platform forward, and that is what makes me feel really great about a future of Steemit. I dont know much however about BitShares, however inovating one and flexible one is for me a possible winner of a run. However something completelly else may show up and win the race. We can not know, I just see what is happening now :)
I think steem has something apart from its technology that makes it my choice : it"s content base .
I think steem will take the lead due to much popularity
