Steem is like the Stress-free coin (if you take away the community soap opera aspect) as it is not only safely tucked away to temper weak hands, it is able to earn and reward. It isn't just sitting there in a holding pattern until prices increase, it can still be used safely to earn more Steem in various ways both actively and passively.

This is essentially why almost the minute I got here I decided to hold Steem instead of BTC.
