I'm not against the whaleshares platform but it's got a long way to go before I can consider it a match against Steem </p><p>First off,  Steem has got first mover advantage. Steem is the trailblazer. It's like bitcoin. There are so many bitcoin clones out there but they can't reach bitcoin. You know why? Because you can't really improve on bitcoin. You can only take one or more features and give them more attention </p><p>It's the same with steem. Have you stopped to wonder why everyone is either forking Steem or creating something close to it? It's because Steem is the perfect example of what a Blockchain based social media platform is. </p><p>Plus, Steem has more liquidity. I know there are some other platforms with liquidity like golos. However when you talk about a Blockchain based social media platform with a wide range of users and liquidity, it's Steem </p><p>Lastly, I love Steem. I think over the two years, Steem has achieved the state of cult following. It has its shortcomings, there's no denying it. But I'm sticking with Steem </p>
