Wow, u bought your first steem for $4, that is a very bold move, im pretty sure that rewarded you pretty well.. :)

Yeah, tx on Btc and Eth pretty sucks, i remember i have to wait for 6 hours literally to buy status token on Eth blockchain, massive tx jam.. :(

Im pretty sure, even after SMT release, when loads of tx comes over steem, which already had as second highest traffic after Eth.. :), still steem would be performing pretty well, as it already adequate thought well from the beginning and place 3 seconds block speed as the transaction medium... mind blowing though.. :)
