Interesting. Makes sense. Muh tribalism! It impacts us all.

Prior to Steemit, I had zero interest in any other altcoin. Nothing else had a mechanism to overcome the huge network effect bitcoin enjoys, regardless of how superior the technology might be. With 3 second confirmation times, 100k transactions a second throughput, AND a mechanism to grow the network with everyday users who've never touched cryptocurrency before... that's exciting stuff.

Oh, btw, I got in a twitter discussion earlier today which included Tone. He favorited this tweet which I thought you'd enjoy. ;-)
