There are so many awesome things about the Steem blockchain, but these three things are my personal favorite features of it :

1) The DApps on the Steem blockchain.

We got so many great DApps running on the Steem blockchain, and I'm not only talking about simple interfaces like Steemit, Busy, or eSteem. We also got some amazing things like Steem Monsters where you can actually play a real card RPG entirely on the blockchain, and you don't even need to pay gas/mining fees to play. This might sound pretty basic, but very few other blockchains are able to do this.

But we got so many more DApps, and we can ask and answer questions (Musing), share and find awesome products (Steemhunt), contribute to open source development (Utopian), stream video games (Vimm), share food recipes (dTaste), create polls (dPoll), gamble (MagicDice), and so much more.

While other blockchains might have more DApps in terms of numbers, a lot of these are shitty pyramid scheme games, casinos, and other very simple DApps that are just created to get a quick buck.

2) The communities on the Steem blockchain.

Very few (or no) other blockchain has such awesome, diverse communities. We on the Steem blockchain just don't talk about crypto: if you enjoy gaming, gardening, science, learning a foreign language etc. there are communities and places for you here. There are lots of friendly people who are willing to help each other out, and we also have the ability to monetarily reward these nice people who contribute to helping other.

I find that very few other places on the Internet has such great communities.

3) The technology behind the Steem blockchain.

We can't forget how amazing the Steem blockchain is from a technological perspective. There are few blockchains that can brag about having 3 second transaction times, and free transactions for everyone.

The technology behind the Steem blockchain is a lot better than most people give it credit for, so for this reason I put it on my third place on my three favorite things about the blockchain.
