Steemit runs on the Graphene toolkit, this tech has been develop when creating BitShares 2.0. You like and trust Steem ? Well BitShares is made of the same wood. Its focus is not on social network but on economy and a decentralised exchange. You can't really trust one but not the other ;)

BTW, MUSE also run on the same tech and even if at the moment the dev are silent, I read recently a comment from Xerox that the project is very much alive. Xeroc always knows a lot of what is happenning behind the scenes.

BitShares market cap will rise as it's value derives from it's usecases. No hype pump for BitShares, just solid growth base on solid facts.
