In the end it is like the currencies of other countries... And each will rise or fall depending on the worth of usable product.
If one country makes a specific type of hat and another grows food, the value and followers will go where there is more value.
There is no substitute yet for Bitcoin, in my opinion there won't be, maybe Steem will rise... But it is all what is behind it.
Buyer Beware.
Yes, but all currencies of "geographical" other countries work better "in that country".
The internet is not a country. We have to be better than that...
