Price is not reflective of the blockchain and what is can do. Price has other factors in it that the market uses to price which may or may not be applicable. One of the biggest ones is that publicity is a huge part of market action. People buy what they know. ETH and BTC are known..STEEM is not.

One thing you need to know is that steem met ETH and BTC in the game and steem is doing quite well for the "underdog". I don't know about other areas, but steem is getting more recognition in Nigeria especially due to efforts from SIN, Stach, Africa unchained and a host of others. It is only a matter of time. The last part where you said "steem is not" is actually wrong. Steem is more than you actually give it credit for.
In a nut shell, steem is better than most.
