well, your bring a good question.
I feel Bitcoin is outdated technologically speaking, it is seized and owned mostly by communist china and lately seized by communist Venezuela...
STEEM is quite the opposite, it is hyper-modern, ultra-fast and has all these fantastic ins and outs being made for all kinds of APP-use... and it is CHEAP :)
I do not think many individuals will buy Bitcoin at this price, it is too high, went up in value too quickly and most of them are no longer in circulation thanks to China for the most part.
Most of the markets I play in has dried up incredible since Bitcoin went above $1000, so people are not using it anymore like before.
Anyways... I noticed this is your first article, so welcome to Steemit. If you wanna chat, I am at http://steemspeak.com chat & voice-chat. Be great seeing you there.
followed.
