RE: ETC VS ETH
Well steem and ETH are very different blockchains with very different tradeoffs. Steem is absolutely not the only application running on a blockchain. Steem/graphene make serious tradeoffs to get the speed they deliver. There will always be tradeoffs for speed and security.
There are plenty of solutions to ETH scaling issues.
what security tradeoff are you talking about?
They have a small set of federated block producing nodes. This is much different than other consensus mechanisms and makes many tradeoffs on the security side to allow for fast transactions.
Look at the Mauve paper below for a better idea of what some of these tradeoffs are:
