Competition is what make humans going, starting their day and looking for new creative ideas every single moment. Crypto currency started a new competition, competition between new forms of digital money. Bitcoin is the first till this moment. It's the strongest and safest store of value in all digital currencies. However, there are new runners, that pass each other everyday hoping to get even to the second position.
Several are performing well. Ethereum, NEM, Dash, Monero are few from what I trust and see great potential. However, in a few days Steem pass most of them to come at the 6th position in currencies marketcap. I hope it can survive as it's built on some innovative concepts. I doubt that any currency can pass Bitcoin. However, if Steem can come at the 2nd place, I won't call it a loser!
