How is Ethereum doing?
According to http://blocktivity.info/, the Ethereum blockchain is currently maxed out at 100% capacity. There are more than 21,000 unconfirmed transactions sitting there, just waiting to be processed. Many users are unable to purchase their kitties, because the network doesn’t have enough capacity to let the transactions through.
How would Steem do?
Steem is already processing a similar volume of transactions per day without breaking a sweat. All transactions are getting processed in 3 seconds, and the network is running smoothly. It has already set the record for the most transactions processed in one day, and it could easily handle several magnitudes more transactions per day without running into limitations.
The good news, is that come 2018 after steem blockchain launches Smart Media Token (SMT) steem blockchain will help ethereum and save it from such disgrace by taking over many transactions which will cause steem value to moon! This is further confirmed by a great steemian 
More so, my main Eden buddy 
Now what does this mean for steemians and those addicted to powering up their steem?
Come 2018, when steem blockchain takes over the blockchain space and enters into medium of exchanges, the volume of transaction in steem will skyrocket and since steem charges little to nothing and transaction time is max of 3 seconds, steem value will moon and we may surpass ethereum in trade volume. Already, we are experiencing steady rise in steem in coinmarket and Steem dollar is trading above $10 currently. This goes to show that the future of steem is more than bright! So keep powering up as come 2018, we will all be smiling to the moon.
