I would not compare STEEM with the BTC.
But the fundamental thing of this is that there are two groups with very different profiles and nature.
There is the group that goes behind the profit, whatever it may be: short, long, hold.
And there is another that goes with the goal of value, but as a whole that represents the word VALUE.
I am in steemit less than a month ago and what I have learned is a lot.
In Latin it says:
"Scientia potentia est"
Knowledge is power, with that power one grows in every aspect, if one grows there is value / profit, but real VALUE.
But not only in monetary terms, in all the senses of growth of a project, where everything is pointing towards the same north.

I agree with what @addys lists.
I'm not going to talk bad about the BTC, but today it's just an exchange asset. Steem has numerous attributes and a potential without a roof.

Excuse my English but I still do not have the fluency of Sir Ferguson.
