One incredible aspect of Steem is that it is a cryptocurrency that will be linked to from search engines, forums, websites etc. People will bump into Steem by accident - when searching for information on something totally unrelated. I think it is starting to show it's power gradually, and once it is rolling, it will be incredibly hard to stop. Inbound marketing...

I'd add one more important feature which makes Steem stand out: Steem dollars.
If you aim to launch digital cash for mass adoption (as Dash claims), doing so with a volatile currency looks quite absurd to me. Of course, you can always convert to fiat on both ends - but then how is it better than PayPal, if you always need to rely on some third-party company doing the conversion and volatility hedging? (Yeah, you can do it yourself but then forget about mass adoption.)
Besides, constant fiat conversion & hedging costs money - who is going to pay for this? The end-user?
For me Dash without a pegged sub-token (and without any plans for one), is no better than PayPal. And it will probably end up being more expensive than PayPal, if we consider all costs involved.
Right now I can use SBD as a payment option, no matter what my views are about future Steem price. With pure cryptocurrency like Dash, to use it I'm required to be a Dash believer (or pay hefty fees) - and that's a big requirement.
And here we have another paradox: if I were a Dash believer, would I want to exchange my precious Dash for a pizza? Even if my beliefs are right, one day I'm going to feel stupid about this pizza. Bottom line, confusing an investment token with everyday payment token is a bad idea.

The steem dollar is only an evaluation of the legacy based fiat. It's only as stable as the world it is attached to. If and when Steem goes main stream then of what use will that be? Souvenirs?

That's the fallacy most of the crypto-enthusiasts make: that the outside world is going to jump straight in and use their currency. It's not going to happen.
Steem (or BTC or ETH) is not a currency, it's a speculative asset. You keep it in your wallet not because you want to spend it but because you believe its value is going to rise (which means you don't want to spend it).
So we have this concept of "currency" which people either don't want to hold (because it's volatile) or don't want to spend (because it's going to appreciate - otherwise why would they hold it?). A perfect illusion.

You are half right in theory and almost right in practice. Why? Because many coins are built on two theories. One is consensus as measured and manifested in the network. This is the side most people see and think of when they think of crypto coins. In this world the only thing that matters is opinion/belief. Fiat also runs on a sort of contract/algorithm as Ayn Rand showed in Atlas Shrugged. But most of it is only implicit and is not directly tied to any commodity like gold. The world would see thing more clearly if we still used gold coins. But anyway the other side of crypto is that the contract represents the free will of the individual. Every crypto has a list of standards that is like a bill of rights that it has to confirm to. These are encoded in an increasingly large body of code, when the code reaches a certain level of sophistication then believe me. Fiat will go straight out the window.

Excellent review. I do think Steem could ultimately wipe Dash of the map entirely.
Yes, Steem is decentralized. More so than Dash? Possibly. Some aspects, sure. But there are many ways to compare (and then some more as it comes to programming technicals I can't even account for, but developers such as yourself @good-karma may have much better understanding of).
It should be acknowledged that both systems could be said to have theoretical weaknesses relating to centralization. But frankly, so far all crypto currencies I know of have similar issues and we're still in early development. Risk is present in every case.
Steem is developing faster, with more determination and with a better supporting structure than I've seen in any other crypto-project so far, in the form of the social network itself.
I expect this more advanced form of Cooperative Agorism (as compared to the early Bitcoin/Litecoin model) to ramp up significantly over the next decade. Number of cryptocurrency uses and coexisting communities will increase. Voluntary syndication between these and increasing network stability should follow. -Sideways or slowly declining price moves in Bitcoin would likely help keep focus on alternatives and could speed up that process significantly. Either way, we are making tremendous progress and can expect governments around the world to take very serious counter measures.
Expect skilled competition paid for with money that was taken from you in taxes. Expect subversion. But if we take the measures necessary, expect to win and reap great rewards!

I prefer to see other successful blockchains as symbiotic. While I want to see them dump POW too and solve the problem you mentioned, those are not deal breakers and progress can still be made in the mean time.
Technology aside, Amanda B Johnson (a public face for Dash) is very cool. I meet her at Anarchapulco. Why not study what they are doing right and embrace them as our allies? She really did well talking about Dash at the conference. It speaks volumes to me that they were at a voluntarist conference boldly promoting peaceful and private interactions in society. This is what it is all about if you ask me.
I openly shared ideas with her that may help their platform with what I have learned about our platform.

Yes, I agree with your assessment about having public face. And I also believe we are learning from each other and this post is exactly about that. Challenge that I put out was to encourage more voluntarist to go out there and talk about what they daily use and promote the platform Steem, in the end all these projects will reap the fruits when we appeal to more mainstream users and have some impact on their discovery of these crypto projects.

Steem / Steemit already has plenty of great features which rivals Dash, which is why I didn't understand the hype, except that the devs have been making great decisions and communication. So on our camp, I hope the devs roll quicker, and bang on the UX..
Also, a STEEM wallet with savings accounts (which is Steem Power, auto-delegated for curation, which is part of how the savings accounts accrue "interest").

Steem is badly adjusted for using as crypto currency but it can be easily fixed. Also some wallet-focused apps are missing. This can be also quite easily solved. I believe with the right focus, in one month, Steem can be "fixed" and reach Dash marketcap in another month after it. But current roadmap doesn't provide these adjustment so we might wait years because we will first solve secondary issues like mobile notifications and new logo. Don't get me wrong, I like Steem and these things are also needed but I'm quite unhappy because there is strong focus on secondary features imho and poor focus on fundamental adjustment. You can check my other comment here for some more details. Of course, we can wait two years or so to do it but bad timing and delays are pretty costly in highly competitive cryptoworld environment.

It should be noted that the recent activity in Dash (pump to 100+) is more than likely unsustainable. There is talk in the cryptospace that there is market manipulation, specifically someone laundering coins through privacy coins creating that spike of transaction volume.

Lot of crypto holders, small (like me) and large were looking for a stable crypto that wouldn't be subject to so much speculation with all the news in cryptos.

There's another important difference: Dash is marketed as a currency and STEEM as a social network. IMHO this is a huge opportunity being missed. But perhaps there are strategic reasons STEEM as currency is not being sold more aggressively right now.

It is very clear what is the superior cryptocurrency here. Only thing that is going for massive price increase for Dash is low amount of coins. 7mil vs 250 mil is very different, that reflects on the price. Massive premine of Steem is also something to consider.

Great posts and comparison. The advantages of Steem are obvious but unfortunately the majority of people doesn't know about it. I agree that once we start some marketing we can expect a huge increase of people joining. The only thing we need the develop is a way to use Steem in the real world (like Bitcoin, Dash).

there is a little risk for Steemit and for Steem too: waiting too long before investing in marketing. The beta version seems to be tight already for Steemit.

I know I shall be shot for this - Steemit needs advertisers, just like Facebook with a decentralized advertising sales force to sell advertising that puts in hard dollars.
Furthermore - advertisers will buy space with cash - not Bitcoin so the mechanism to develop is the means where dollars are turned into Steem or Steem Dollars
In order to do this - viewers other than the Steemit community must be logged so that true value of a piece is shown with its full viewer potential.
The problem to overcome is the 30 day edit limit or advertisers must realize that when they buy a space on a post it is forever. A post forever is a very valuable thing.
What sort of form would advertising sales space look like a horizontal bar at the top? A vertical bar on the right or left?
The space sold should be limited to only one ad per post after all, we are artists and content providers, not anything else
These are some of my thoughts and of course the content provider should receive some if not most of the advertising revenue

Yes, that's all cool and lot of work has been done but I rather meant minimalistic simple and secure wallet without extra features like Steemit content - eSteem app is content focused. Steem has probably best blockchain tech in terms of performance inside but will not be ever used as BTC or DASH with this killing inflation and without simple wallet apps. I believe first two and the sixth point can be done within one month and the rest in one year. Everything else can wait until this is done imho.

You are right, I know few developers who are working on
wallet onlytype of apps. And in future eSteem can also have wallet only app where all other social features are stripped out...Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

I like the way you put the situation. I don't know why people buy so much dash at that price, but they can do what they want with their money. I wanted to ask you what about the hard fork? I didn't see any post about it. Or there was no hf this time? You are doing a great work, and I will use that tag you provided in my posts! All the best @good-karma!

Marketing is important, think we all agree but we need to be ready, vision, mission, comms strategy need to be clear and formulated by the INC. An Amanda would be good or at least a Steem Face rocking stages!
Finally I was able talking with blockchain experts at CeBIT yesterday. I am now a even stronger believer into Blockchain and especially Steem! I learned also that Steem has a much better background compared to DASH which you outlined. Not to mention the way DASH launched and the mystery of the instamine. I am pretty sure Steem has a bright future while I doubt DASH has. DASH has a perfect marketing machine - that is it. I might be wrong but I hope Steem will soon pick up some heavy Marketing Campaigns - I am ready! I am posting already most across a lot other social channels and platforms. Sorry for typos, am jumping around the trade show 😎

This is my best attempt at a fair comparison between searches for Dash and searches for Steem.
It is interesting that Steem got some initial interest much, much earlier than Dash in its lifetime. Steem in my view has way more potential and could get going much faster than Dash ever did. When you compare transaction rates, Dash is trivial. Steem has every crypto bar Bitcoin beaten by that metric (and Dash has votes too, so it's a fairer comparison than with other cryptos).

The biggest credit I want to give to Dash is that Dash has guts to challenge Bitcoin.

Thanks good-karma! Didn't know Steem has self-governance. Can you point me to any document/post about this feature pls? Thks in advance!

Hi @ncao, There are number of posts talk about governance on Steem. It is similar to what Dash offers where masternodes decides by casting vote (but masternodes are anonymous and not sure how many of those are owned by founders). But in case of Steem, it is witnesses plus large community where every decision takes a form of discussion and transparently come to consensus...And it is constantly evolving, finding new and better ways to handle consensus.
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:

Yes it is interesting to see how the consensus can be reached. It matters on the how, as more people get involved and decide rather than just a privileged few, which is no much different with the traditional corporation. I think we should build a way to let more stake holder engaged and how the changes are informed, discussed and elaborated.

Few others are working towards that, also with http://steempoll.net I intent to provide some ways to help reach consensus, keeping decentralized nature of platform.

Awesome. I am with you. Also Dash nodes are very expensive. you need 1000dash to create it. just few hands control the mayority of nodes. that is not fair.

I'm interested in confidential Steem transactions, you can do a tutorial to explain how to do it?
Otherwise, for marketing, I am creating a website to reference blockchains. :)
