I´m convinced that Bitcoin will soon see the lightning network being implemented so that transaction costs will only be a fraction of what they are today. Bitcoin has been called dead many times already but it always survived. It´s as well not as easy as many think to run such a huge project. You can´t simply change everything without proper consensus and testing as doing so would most likely crash everything...
Anyways, I´ll keep stacking Steem and will further power up my account as I see a long term future for this Blockchain. It´s a sleeping giant if you ask me :)
