    The core, fundamental advantages are:

    1. Sock puppet voting has no value on steemit, but is a huge factor on reddit
    2. Censorship resistance, which mostly applies to the underlying block chain and not the web site (so it won't have much practical end-user value until there are different ways to access the blockchain)
