True, steemit's chain actually encourages interaction and use of the chain, whereas other coins don't really put that at the forefront and will thus lose out when people actually want to engage in a flowing economy involving a coin and tokens backed by a chain that can actually process the amount of transactions necessary by the userbase. Trying to imagine steemit's userbase interacting with each other at btc or eth speeds is laughable, and the backlog would be so vast we'd post one day and hope we can be heard in hundreds of years.
