Though i agree with you that steem is amazing, it is important to recogjze that bitshares, too, can do the same things steem can. In fact it is fair to say steem can onlydowhat it does because bitshares made it possible.
Ethereum at 1 billion dollars is talking about their ability to potentially get to the scalability and speed to bts and steem at the end of 2017. So in short their ideas wont even be TESTED for another year?

Its crazy to me with what these two blockchains(and soon peerplays) can do...
