So, after WEISS Rating placed Steem in the top 5 cryptocurrency coins to invest in, investopedia posted a blogpost about Top Non-Bitcoin Altcoins for Your Portfolio in 2018...you guessed it...we made it to the short list of crypto that they recommend.
Here is an excerpt
Steem
Steem is a unique model in the digital currency landscape. The steem coin powers Steemit, a blockchain-related social media platform through which users generate and curate content. There is an elaborate voting system which rewards authors and curators, and steem tokens can be converted into dollar-linked steem dollars and steem power. Steem's unusual model and user-focused content system makes it a worthwhile altcoin to keep an eye on.
Not the first time they cover Steem
In fact they wrote an article 2 years ago just when Steem first came out Steemit: The Disruptive Blockchain-Based Media Community which is a little outdated on the technical side.
But it's still nice to see that reputable websites such as investopedia.com are now covering cryptocurrencies and alt-coins.
Steemit.com & d.tube are getting difficult to ignore
Steemit currently ranks 1,156 most traffic website on the internet(and still rising daily) while d.tube is seeing a meteoric rise:
As more website have success like d.tube with the Steem blockchain model, the more this technology will spread through society.
Conclusion
Steem Power is where it's at baby! You shouldn't feel fringe or that we are taking a risk by powering up those sweet steems. Of course, this is just my opinion and not an investment advice.
