Hello dear Steemians,
I already wanted to write an article like this for a long time, but Im always exploring more great advantages of the STEEM cryptocurrency & the just awesome Steemit Social-Media-Blogging-Platform, based on the revolutionary blockchain technology, so that I could write hours about this topic...
Inspired by a chat with Ray @modernpastor, I decided that I will just start with a few of my thoughts about the STEEM cryptocurrency and why in my opinion STEEM is the most promising cryptocurrency of the past & future, especially for holding!
In this article about this huge topic I just want to start with just a few short thoughts why STEEM is the most unique & promising cryptocurrency for me and I don´t want to begin with chart analysis or to much technical details and cryptocurrency knowledge, just with a few facts for now... Im trying to hold it short and without to long texts. 👍
I already wrote a longer article about why I love the Steemit platform and the unique community behind it too and here you can find the post with the title: Why I love Steemit? My thoughts & experience: We are all like shareholders guys!!! ✊
You can also find my personal video recording of the opening speech by Ned Scott (Steemit profile: @ned), the visionary & founder of Steemit, at the last Steemfest in November 2017 in Lisbon on my Youtube channel and here you can watch it directly:
Let´s begin with some of the various great advantages of the unique STEEM cryptocurreny & the blockchain technology behind it:
Transactions in under 1 minute, even in just a few SECONDS!

Animation Source: Official Steemit Twitter Account
Already reached over 1 million transactions within 24 hours, without any network problems!
Here you can find the article on the @steemitblog account about the 1 Million transactions within a 24 hour period record, with also many other interesting information: Steem blockchain breaks 1,000,000 transactions!
This is a chart with the transactions per day of Bitcoin for comparison:

Official Source: https://blockchain.info/de/charts/n-transactions?timespan=2years
As you can see on the screenshot above, even the number 1 cryptocurrency Bitcoin never had over 1 million transactions within a 24 hours period, the highest transaction amount within 24 hours was only under 450.000 so far...! Oo
And take a look at the transactions per second guys...:
Easy & fast exchange into any other cryptocurrency with already many different exchanges, like blocktrades.us by @blocktrades for quick exchanges.
Of course you can exchange it in Euro/USD/and other currencies then too. Im using Cex & Anycoindirect to sell cryptocurrencies into Euro and for payouts to my bank account and/or credit card.
Active income opportunity:
Earn money with your content & online activities, just like voting & writing comments!
- Even if you are not blogging and only voting for others, you can earn so called "Curation Rewards"!
Passive Income Opportunities: Earn money with your votes on autopilot!
Only a few examples, to keep it simple:
You can earn "curation rewards" just by voting and you can even automate your Steemit account too, so that you are upvoting for your favourite authors on autopilot + you are earning with it too! You can use the Steemvoter to create rules for your auto-votes.
You can sell your votes on autopilot to earn SBD in addition too with the great Minnowbooster service
Here you can find my tutorial article about vote selling: Tutorial: How to sell Votes with Minnowbooster to earn passive income, completely automated?Leasing SP to other Steemians with Minnowbooster for example
And more, Steemit is always developing & people all over the world are working on improving it!
Some more short facts why STEEM in combination with the completely unique Steemit ecosystem is already the best cryptocurrency :
There are already tons of apps and platforms connected with the Steemit ecosystem, like @esteem, @steepshot, @dlive, @dsound, @dtube and already so much more!
Steemit is not a company, it´s a real decentralized community and YOUR upvotes have REAL value!
Your upvotes are as more valuable as more STEEM Power (SP) you have in your account. SP are your STEEM coins, but stored in a kind of virtual safe and you can convert STEEM into SP in your Steemit wallet. With a option called "Power Down" you can covert back your SP into STEEM later anytime.
On Steemit you can really share what you want, there is no "Master Person" who decides what is allowed and what is not allowed!
Steemit.com is already one of the top 1200 websites worldwide, according to the official rating by alexa.com and has a very strong community with experienced & independent professionals from many different market areas (programmer and all other kind of developers, entrepreneurs from all over the world, marketers, content creators etc...)!

It's a social blogging platform that pays you to participate. Content creators, curators, and comments are rewarded in STEEM at the website Steemit.com. The inflation rate of STEEM is 9.5% per year, reducing by 0.5% per year.
@future24 look Innovation: One of the key features of blockchain technology is that it's counterfeit-proof, or censorship-proof, which makes Steemit a unique social media service especially as Facebook continues to manipulate news feeds. And the diverse reward
system is handled by code.

I also like the way steemit has intermingled block chain with a content platform. However, it has got its own challenges and would be interesting to see how it evolves with time. Many of the content sharing platforms like Hubpages that used to reward users are in trouble because they could not change with time.

STEEM is great for creating content but as a currency I have high hopes for EOS.

Hello @petermail, what do you mean with creating content? Do you mean uploading content on Steemit? STEEM is not for creating content, it´s a cryptocurrency, but I think you mean Steemit.

Hi @future24, STEEM is crypto but it holds content inside it's transactions - so it is great for content creators. BTW if you want to know which crypto is the fastest, look at my post: https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@petermail/what-is-the-quickest-cryptocurrency
