Well, I'm a "steem maximalist", in as far as that particular coin makes up most of my entire portfolio and I'm not just sitting there, looking at some number in a wallet telling me how many I own. "Steem" coins are actually... Dare I say, fun! :)
When the markets turn, which ever coin you pick, will mostly likely go up. It just depends by how much. But I haven't got too much invested in other crypto...
That is the beauty of Steem - it's got so many use cases and these are increasing every day. Tis a great token and more and more of my investment is shifting toward it.
