Steem sort of fascinates me as a coin because it has a very pronounced use case, the fact that you can power up on steemit and that increases the amount you can award through upvotes. That is one of the things that was a big draw for me to try it out.

Hedge funds I'm not so excited about moving in. They will be those who cry and lobby to get laws that are in their favor and not the "common" folk but it is what it is and the big money is coming in.

Nice to hear about a few alts as well since I was not aware of some of those and it gives me a good starting point to look into them.
