I have a gut fleeing most crypto is bought bc it looks cheaper. I can't even fathom how people say ripple is a decentralized crypto. I respect what they are doing but they are also lying on what they are.
People look at bitcoin and say it too expensive and look at ripple that cheap or maybe verge. No verge fan has yet to explain me how it more anonymous that Monero. I can get the same or even better privacy by using tor on bitcoin and same coinjoin shit(is it better than Monero hell no).
Bitcoin has believers and many alt coin have people who want to dump their bag once they make a profit. Steem has true believers who can back up their beliefs :)
