Steem is one of the fastest blockchains with a block time of 3 seconds. Bitcoin was designed to confirm transactions in 10 minutes but sometimes it takes few days.
The speed at which transactions are confirmed on steem blockchain is super cool.
Transaction fee with bitcoin these days is one hell of a case. I initiated a transaction earlier today and i was charged almost $10 for the transaction.
Transacting on steem blockchain at zero cost is awesome.
It's quite unfortunate that steem is undervalued but i sure know with time things will get better with steem.
