RE: From Skeptic to Cheerleader, What I've Learned About Steemit After My First Week(ish) Onboard.

Steem is now #1 in transactions out of all altcoins on the blockchain.

Excellent, thanks so much for adding this - a very notable point. When people say "#1 in transactions," how are you measuring this? Speed? Security? Volume?

This is measured in volume. There are more transactions for Steem than any other and Ethereum is at currently at #2. I think this should have a positive effect on the price.

Ok got it. That's really interesting and I guess it makes sense, considering the structure of STEEM and the fact that it's being used for its intended function all the time. I wonder what percentage of transactions of other currencies are speculative trading vs actual purchases.
