As someone who has been using Bitcoin since 2011, I completely agree with you. Steem is so much better for day-to-day use compared to Bitcoin or any other form of cryptocurrency.

When you check which blockchain has most activity on it, you'll see that Steem is on top of the list. It also does not have any scaling issues compared to Bitcoin or ETH. It's only a matter of time before the large public starts using it imo.
