It is my opinion that too many crypto projects are at each other's throats. It was refreshing to see a project like Byteball, running on a completely different consensus algorithm, venture to reach out and work together with Steem. I haven't seen anything like it. I think this could be the beginning of a beautiful friendship.
Yes. The Steem community is pretty big too, which means that Byteball's community has just expanded as a result of the airdrop.
The bigger a coin's community the more likely it will become successful.
