I hope it is. I see the value in it. I think it could be profitable especially for earlier adopters. My husband won't let me invest in it past a certain point(that point being just enough to have a little voting power or credentials for people to take me seriously) because he is military and I can't invest in anything that competes against the usd. I guess if he sees it as competition to the usd then that's a good thing for the steem community! Means it does have strength and value.
