DASH,LTC and other coins like it still do not have a use case.

Correct Johal. Dash has 'Privacy Send' and a credit card. So what? This Bitcoin upgrade has really shook the crypto tree! Elvis is no longer the King ... Bitcoin is! Let's hope Steem can have privacy installed as default (unlike ZCash where only 25% of the transactions are private).

I'm currently hodling just Steem and BTC - with v.minor holdings in the others. Holding BTC also allows the Steem price to rise, as all ships rise on the Bitcoin tide ... well sometimes!

Steem is going to need to play the long game here to leap over Dash and LTC, but I have no doubt that this is possible.

Steem on my friend :)
