As much as I think Bitcoin is the "king of crypto" it is astonishing that it takes so much energy per transaction. So from a sustainability view point it's great to learn that STEEM/Steemit consumes less energy!

I'd call it the "granddaddy of crypto" ;). Bitcoin is great, but it was literally designed to be inefficient. It will have its place in the future, and it might be incredibly valuable, but it won't be powering real-time applications, certainly not directly on-chain.
This point is critical. Bitcoin is like the oldest son who got a PhD. Everyone is giving it all of the love and attention. Meanwhile his younger brother, Einstein, is still in middle school so nobody notices yet...
Hahaha well said
That's probably a better moniker "granddaddy crypto"! At any rate I'm very glad to be involved with Steemit!
It's great to be involved in them all! At Steemit we love all cryptocurrencies and blockchains that help make the world a better place. The goal should be to create blockchains and cryptocurrencies that solve different problems than the others.
