Exactly right Ade, people outside of steem really don't 'get it' heck some people inside steem don't get it lol.
I have tried trading bitcoin at the height of the last bull run.(2017) It was virtually impossible to trade anything without paying a huge fee of $100's to get the trade done.
Bitcoin is the real shit coin as far as transaction speed is concerned. Litecoin is better but still costly.
I've also had Bitcoins stolen from exchanges and from @Wirex via a man in the middle attack (allegedly)on my account with no refunds from Wirex or VISA. What a shit show!
Wirex have an account on steem as well which is about as helpful as a fart in a spacesuit. It's a crap card and I would warn people about using their crap services. Don't leave any crypto on Wirex. There is a lot more I could share but Wirex is under a police and FCA investigation atm. Anyone who is shilling for them is going to get dragged into it.
On steem. We own our keys. We do our own trades with no middle men and no need to trust 3rd parties.
Steem is the hands down winner on every count. It's just that people don't see it's potential?
