I'm a low-risk kind of guy though and would rather a $3,000 BTC 5 years from now than $0.00 for my Steem.
I would be super disappointed with both. All his work for a couple weeks salary? :D
My actions though say I'd go with Steem though as I just sold all my BTC and alts to try and make it to dolphin status before the end of the year.
There is an emotional attachment to what is used over what sits in a cold wallet. I think this is a good sign for Steem.
