One of the things that Steemit/Steem has going for it is a working platform with thousands of users. Other coins can't claim that.

I just bought way more Steem than I should have yesterday. The drop in value stings a bit, but I'm on here so much I have to remember that I'm on here for the long haul.

Hopefully Steemit will gain traction and by then I'll be as famous as @grumpycat
