If you will visit in http://coinmarketcap.com, STEEM is now the third most active cryptocurrency with over $1M next to ETH. This is a feat that other cryptos cannot do in just a very short time.
If I were you, I will ride on the popularity of STEEM! ;-)
As I am writing this reply, I am actually starting to trade my BTC to STEEM via bittrex.com exchange.
Hope this helps!
