Bitcoin is a gateway currency and this is only a speculative value. For example, compare Apple to Bitcoin? What is Apple offering? Real, physical products among everything else. What is Bitcoin offering? Gateway to the market exchanges and some darknet value. It's used only because people don't have better ways to put fiat into crypto. + the fees are already too high.

Steem has more to offer than Bitcoin. First, it is empowering decentralized social media. Second, it has a huge potential of becoming a major player in the social media world and it might ignite some first decentralized broadcasting media. Third, we could see Steem along with EOS, BTS and other, as a future way of payment because of speed and no fees of transactions. And the last, but most important, we could see Steemit becoming a great online community capable of influencing social trends, starting charities, great quality content and much more.
