The best part about steem is a running project in the form of this platform which is missing in most of @crypto currencies. Most alts talk about future, stating with so and so plan we can reach so and so levels in so and so time. In last year or so many @altcoins came and now they are no where to be seen. IMO only those will survive which have business model to make money right now which is very much present in case of @steemit and @DTube. Well I have briefly read about @InitiativeQ will surely look into it if you are saying so.
