Steem VS Hopecoin, Lets Pitch Them Both To Investors And See Which Wins

What would happen if Steem was pitched against another altcoin to investors that want to get into the cryptocurrency? Well this post is my view of how it all would go down ;) So the two cryptocurrencies the investors can choose between is Steem and Hopecoin (a fictional coin that represents a general altcoin). The investors are carrying big bags of money and they will shoot questions at the representatives, from each side, to find out where they will place this money. So the questioning begins..

1. Mr. Investor; “We believe that if you sell something that you believe in you should be invested in it yourself. How are you invested in your respective project?”
   
   Mr. Hopecoin Representative; “Well, I have gotten tokens from the company as payment to represent it and promote it. I haven’t physically gotten the coins yet as the wallet is still under construction and will soon be available to download at github.com. A freelancer is making the wallet so it is taking some time but when it is finished my money will be transferred there. So I am accepting payment in Hopecoin as I believe it is a good investment for the future.”
   
   Mr. Steem Representative: “What originally caught my attention of Steem was Steemit. It is a platform, built on the steem blockchain, that is competing with other social media by paying their users. Ever since I started using Steemit I stopped using both Reddit and Facebook. As a content creator that creates value for a social media it is only fair to get a piece of the pie, that’s why steemit captured my attention right away, and ever since I started using Steemit I have been investing whatever extra money I have to grow my steempower and thus increase my stake in Steem. This I would definitely consider to be “putting some skin in the game” because it would take up to two years to get this steem power paid back by powering down, so as you can imagine I see this as a good longterm investment.”
   
   
   

2. Mr. Investor: “What makes the technology of your cryptocurrency unique?”
   
   Mr. Hopecoin Representative; “Well, firstly Hopecoin is built on the blockchain technology and as we all know that is the future. Historically, transactions were owned by a single source and only shared to trusted third parties, but thanks to the blockchain this has been decentralized as it distributes a record of transactions to internet-enabled devices running blockchain software. Trust is therefore created by validating blocks of data as it relates to the previous block across multiple devices. Trust me this is the future and a lot of pople have great Hope in this coin, and they think it will be one of the top altcoins that people will choose to use”
   
   Mr. Steem Representative: "Obviously Steem is built on the blockchain technology, otherwise we wouldn’t have this investment meeting. Blockchain is revolutionary, but basing the value solely on this technology is like adding .com after your company name, like what happened back during the IT bubble. There has to be a function and value of the coin that you distribute, it is by figuring out how to use the blockchain to solve a problem and/or improve a market that we create value.
   
   There are already many altcoins which have the block chain technology and that can transfer the currency from one place to another. Steem is something different all together.
   
   Firstly steem does not have any fees from its transactions; it is completely free of charge.
   
   Steem blockchain processes transactions faster than Ethereum and Bitcoin combined
   
   It is the cryptocurrency with the most transactions during one day, it is already adopted by a lot of people that are using it daily.
   
   Steemit was built by Dan Larimer , a genious so smart he makes smart people feel stupid.
   
   A lot of other coins are using graphic cards to mine and this is using up a lot of electricity and creating a huger carbon footprint each year. In 2020 it is calculated that the total Bitcoin mining electricity consumption will be on the same level as the entire country of Denmark . Steem does not burn graphic cards and waste energy to create new coins.
   
   
   
   Steem is different as it is mined through participation. It is the work of everyone, that creates value in the new coins that are made. This allows everyone to mine steem and in the process it creates good interaction which strengthens the platform and this cryptocurrency.
   
   Steem is allowing for mass adoption, it doesn’t matter if you are rich or poor, a woman or a man, as long as you have a digital device you can, for free, join and start using this cryptocurrency.
   
   Steemit has been built on the steem blockchain and since you get paid on this platform, for both posting AND curating, it will channel most current reddit and facebook users here and thus create a much higher demand for Steem which will drive up the prices.
   
   Steemit is actually just a apart of it all because the proof of brain structure can be applied to much more and there has already been created something called D-tube which is a competitor to youtube, and then you have zappl which is soon being released which is a competitor to Twitter.
   
   Just recently the launch of SMT was made available for anyone who wants to use it. This essentially allows for steem to function in a similar way like ethereum and allow for ICOs made on the steem network. This will make the steem demand skyrocket within a very near future as everyone will realize the power in using Proof-of-Brain algorithm and all companies will jump on this train to create more and better communication with their customers sonto incentivize them to keep using their service and goods. Essentially by sharing a piece of the pie you end up getting a bigger and bigger pie.
   
   Besides steem dollar and steem power steemit also has steem dollars. The value of the steem dollar is very stable and relatively closely follows that of the USD. Therefore many feel it is a secure investment. Also as mentioned before if you want to do well on steemit for example you have to lock up some steem power, which takes around 2 years to get back, and this is definitely putting skin in the game and it makes sure that all particiapants want the platform to succeed.
   
   If you figure out what people want and give it to them you can get anything in return. Well Steem has figured out what people want. They want some credit for their work, and never has there been any social network with such loyal participation. Steem is revolutionary and its here for everyone who wants to join and help out .
   
   
   
   Mr. Investor: “alright, well we actually had around 20 more questions lined up, but I don’t see the point really. You had us at “free” and “mass adoption”. We are all in on Steem and Steemit"
