Good one @Craig-grant. Don't really agree that Bitcoin will never turnaround but it does have a brand problem. Funny statement, "I'm going to stay away from that Bitcoin s3ht! "
My understanding is that the Bitcoin blockchain which is the true ledger is separate from the Steem ledger. In fact Steem needs Bitcoin as a token on "the Blockchain". Otherwise, it'll just be a side chain. Keep rockn' brother.
