Yes, IOTA. It's a whole different cup of tea. I do not like the fact that there is no coin supply anymore. It might turn extremely valuable, but for now I'm putting my money on something with a hard cap supply to prevent any form of inflation.

Iota isn't quite there yet. I wrote this article on how IOTA can be hacked as they have not solved the webtrust issue. Feel free to check it out here

The video is "old", IOTA was not here yet.

The hope for a rise in value of steem is dilusional optimism. Why would steem increase in value ? Though the Steemit platform is great, the growth of steemit with its current features, is inversely proportional to the value of steem. Unless someone can prove otherwise.

May be you are right @cryptonfused

But when the Steem is raising, every one loves steem and they need it.

A new project called @zappl (a twitter which pays you) going to launch. Also the breakthrough project by @jesta called Chainbb (a forum works on steem).

Like these projects, many are going to build on steem blockchain. Then the obvious reason to get moreSP, every one need Steem. I feels that is the point where the growth of Steemit is "directly proportional" to Steem.

Looking forward to hear more from you and other like minded people on this.
