Still staring at your Steem vs BTC points...
I personally believe that how STEEM is produced is a little like how BTC has its miners.
(in a very different context and process)
Another major difference I am still seeing and missing is BTC is valued because it is used.
How did BTC originally marketed themselves (when they start marketing it)? The ease of transfer wealth with no bank transfer problems
STEEM trumphed it as (almost) seamless transaction .
That was how I was attracted to STEEM.
(other than the positive side of generating (mining) the STEEM, SBD and SP without investment of machinese and tons of electric power and cooling system)
Not that juicing your brain for great content in the middle of the night with your laptop on, fan on, light on to create something great and readable is not important
