I know most users, me included like to hate on Ripple for being the "bankster" coin and not being decentralized at all considering the top 100 addresses own somewhere around 90% of the tokens.
They seem to really like to do charity work though and this video was just now posted on the Ellen DeGeneres Show where Ashton Kutcher came with some exciting news. Take a look:
Bear in mind that the account has 25 million subscribers and Ellen has even more on her Twitter account. It is great visibility for cryptocurrency in general and Steem also being a platform that does quite some charity work themselves and helps out in developing countries through post rewards and curation projects, this is good for all cryptocurrencies that don't focus all too much on the business aspect this early on and are working hard to become more and more decentralized as that is one of the big strengths for delegated proof-of-stake currencies.
I am hoping to soon see more videos like these and for people to realize the strengths of the new generation cryptocurrencies that similar to Ripple offer instant and no cost transactions. :)
