So I was trying to come up with a simple way to explain why we chose Stellar.
Instead, we made some really complicated Venn Diagrams.
You can read more details on our Steemit posts.
Please remember that one of the primary reasons we chose Stellar was due to network maturity/adoption, which is not yet accurately represented in these visualizations.
Stellar and Lumens (XLM) are different. These analyses are of networks and their native cryptos (Lumens).
Lumens are not explicitly intended as a store of value. XLM is a transactional-bridge between currencies issued on the Stellar network.
