Happy new year to everyone!

The beginning of this video is more of a fast explanation of the Steem blockchain for everyone that is new to STEEM in 2018.

There is so much more to learn but I hope this video will kickstart your experience.

I talk about earning crypto on the Steem blockchain through creating content, creating app/frontends and how you can monetize them, earn crypto through becoming a witness and even monetizing your own skills (like logo design) for STEEM.

I also quickly touch on the main aspect of the Steem blockchain that makes it function so well.

  • 3-second block times
  • no fees on transactions
  • scalability (currently the top blockchain with 1.3 million transactions per day with 0.11% load) source.

My own endeavors


I also talk about my future plans on the STEEM blockchain and that of my witness group @blockbrothers.

Steem price


Steem price is currently $3.15. Fantastic! What a way to start the year.

More good news. The amount of liquid STEEM is still going down every week. (even though more STEEM is created every day).

Liquid STEEM is going down.

haha, steem is not $3, it is $4 near $5 not! Nice! I am so exciting!

at moment of writing this comment the price is skyrocketing! what a great start of the new year!

Steem is indeed one of the best blockchains around at the moment.

The three second block time is really a fantastic feature.

People have misconception that blockchain means at least 15 mins, but they are wrong, come and experience steem blockchain and see how fast it is.

This is just the beginning, must more exciting times to come in 2018 for this blockchain

Great to see Steem taking off. Here's hoping for that magical $10 mark!

That's a great news and most importantly steem is not just high, but also stable above 3 which is a good news.

Thanks @exyle and Have a great day

It's really fast! Congratulations to all who created and contributed to the improvements of the Steemit blockchain.

2018 is going to be very very special for steem, higher price of steem means the number of steem tokens will be less and the inflation will also be less which is again a great news for all hodlers of steem and we can see further price appreciation in steem.

Thank you @exyle....steem on and stay blissful....

You are very good at reminding us what steem is.
This is really easy when you explain it.
I am looking forward for SMT.
Steem starts with $3, hope steem don't look back and keep on improving the quality of steemit.
If I get this right. In a way steem is like ETHER.
ETHER has ERC-20 token
STEEM has SMT
ETHER uses gas for transaction.
STEEM uses bandwidth, or SP.
Hope this analogy is right.

@exyle I got a chance this morning to explain to my Girlfriend how renting Steem Power works. Now She is all excited about getting involved since she understands Real Estate and how growing her income streams can benefit her. I love her a lot and she is starting to get it. 2018 the light bulb is coming..........

That's awesome to hear man! More and more people are getting switched on.

About that blockactivity stats, recently it had about 1M transaction a day with 0,36% load. This means the capicity is growing. My question about this is the following: is the max tx/day as fast as the slowest witnessnode (aka weakest link) to register all the data?

Thanks for the great explanation of the STEEM blockchain and how things work in this community. I had to upvote and resteem my twitter followers.

You are welcome!

Great post..it seems a great year for you and our community..I wish all the prosperity for steemians..

I'm happy to see you so excited about 2018 and the fact that you will get more time to dedicate to this platform and to Bianca of course ;)
Enjoy this wondefull start to 2018, cheers!

Mark, everyday I read new things; I will find today a moment to find out what liquid steem means. So far I do not know exactly what is means and what influence it has.
The other facts are indeed amazing, and what a Nice STEEM we will become.

Great explanation. Great start of the year for STEEM. Easier signing will be nice improvement for platform. Happy new year !

HAPPY NEW YEAR @EXYLE

Wow! I did not know before that you can earn money by creating app on steemit the only one i know about is creating content.may be as time goes on i will try creat my own app on steemit.thanks for this informative and educative post.happy new year my boss exyle.more blessing ,insights and idea fall on you this year in jesus name

Happy new year @exyle this is an informative post. 1,3 million transactions/day in blockchain is a very large number. And in this year that number will rise manyfold.

Steem to me has been a bridge to the cryptocurrency world.
I learnt a lot about crypto trading after I got into this.
It's been a great platform.
Your learning and making Money out of it at the same time.

Steem to me has been a bridge to the cryptocurrency world.

It has been for many!

So true. Definately for me. Steemit has been a huge catalyst to push me towards understanding and getting involved in the crypto scene. Looking forward to much positive change in the coming years. This is all a bit mindblowing! In a good way :-)

Happy New Year mate, most of the coins are green today!
With the increase in price of STEEM, I was expecting the liquidity to go up because more people would want to power down and cash in on some profits, but it seems that I'm wrong. Steemians believe that the price can go higher in the coming months.

Thanks for teaching me the basics through your posts this year! Hope for much more to come in 2018!

UP, up and away! :-D

Your welcome!

People are going to twig onto Steem soon, I’m sure it’ll have a fascinating 2018. Hopefully the distinction between the tech and the social media application will be clearer for the drive by audience this year.

when i start my steemit i think the daily transation need me for cash but still i have not any steem cashout bcz i believe in steemit 1000% and i want to hold all of my steem and i will buy power soon to increase my work more and earen more...
happy new year to u and all steemians enjoy this wonderfull blockchain

A very happy new year to you dude!! It certainly had started with a bang!

It made me happy! although it has come down slightly now :)

New Year seems to be starting off very good and I am loving the spike of the Steem.Hope it is gonna be awesome all through the time of this year.
Steemit go on !

Nice one man

Good idea to run a 'crash course' on day one of the new year, we have had many new joiners over the past month and so I hope they find here first!

Welcome to 2018, expecting big things!:D

Thank you! Happy new year!

@exyle,
Wow STEEM made ATH in blockchain transaction history! Wow! Happy new year friend! This Vlog is very useful thing!

Cheers~

I was happy to see that!

@exyle,
Things going green in this new year!

Cheers~

It was great start with steem price rising on the steemit platform.
You predict before, 2018 will be wonderful with steem. It was 1st January.
Wow...amazing....I'm glad.

Happy New year too @exyle.

Thanks for the great post! I was wanting to invest in some steem, what method would you recommend?

blocktrades.us will accept different crypto and convert it to STEEM for you. It's pretty straightforward. You can also use exchanges.

Okay! Thanks for the tip :)

I used blocktrades.
Takes 2 seconds. ^^

Glad to see things picking up nicely for Steem in 2018 already! I hope to see continued success and want to do more to help others along the way. What are some ideas you think would be vital for red fish to help out? I don't have a lot of SP right now but I am diligently working towards my goal of achieving 1,000 by commenting and upvoting on great content from my favorite Steemians.

Again, I want to thank you for creating worthwhile content that many of us enjoy viewing! I look forward to your posts daily!

Thanks for the informative and educative post. I wanted to get Steem but saw on the site that fees could run up to $30. Any idea why it's that high?

Yes because Bitcoin fees are high. Use another currency and it's fine.

Managed to get video via IPFS today must be our internet connection again, nice insight in planning going forward with both the platform and cryptocurrencies.

Thank you for the forecast ahead.

I am very excited for the SMT protocol to be introduced. That said, I find it interesting that you did not mention communities as one of the exciting additions to come in this year.

Is that because you heard about it for months and months and until it is here, it isnt? Or is it that you just do not feel it is going to have much of an impact?

steem is going to be the no 1 choice with so many reasons the system works flawlessly and the witnesses doing their work 24/7 and developers taking regular feedbacks this is the best blockchain ever :)

Liquid steem is still going down wonderful so i think steem will hover again soon $4 anyways it was great seeing your vlog Happy New Year

I always appreciate hearing new explanations of the blockchain and how others are able to describe it, so thank you! Also i love how it was just around $3 when you made this post and now its close to $4 as I type this :).

What a start to 2018! STEEM usage up to 1.3m transactions and the price is moving in the right direction too! All the best for the new year @exyle, hopefully you will have another fantastic year here on Steemit

I just started watching your videos. Blockbrothers? Nice.

Question. Why are you still working? When the millions come in, one will usually do only what he or she wants. If your millions have not yet arrived, be assured that the second one comes easier than the first.

I am happy about how things are going too. Both bitshares and steem are difficult to sign up to - people need someone at their side to explain the importance of the owner key, and the other two.

I know so many who have lost their Steem playing with changing owner keys or losing them. You are on my list for a vote as a witness :)

I guess the rise of crypto has been faster than my ability to adjust to it :). 2017 was a bit nuts. I feel confident now to let the contracts go and free up time. I still keep the rest of the business for now untill I feel 100% ok with letting it go. It's 10 years of my life. Thank you for considering us for your vote.

I left an executive role about five or six years ago. It's still there and I can pick it up anytime, but I don't really want to any longer. I remember when you arrived here. You drew attention immediately. I would assume you have had more success than I have.

The reboot is tough! I did it one time moving from the States, and another time when I left my job. Crawling into the sponge-bob hole came out of seeing where my friends had gone; Mayer, Vorhees, and Shrem had the man all up in their aprons and I didn't want that.

indeed a Good start for steem. The best wishes for 2018 and live your dream.. exiting wat this year Will bring us.

You're always informative. Following your blogs and videos is like a whole University for a blockchain student. Keep doing us proud and am proud to have you as a mentor ...happy new year sir

STEEM seems to be doing great. A decrease in liquid crypto, however, is good or bad for price projection? Does it mean that more Steemians are cashing out or powering up?

It means more people buy/earn steem and powerup.

That's great news. Thanks for the upvote

I think that Esteem improvement will be great for this social network to grow :)
And we also need more ways to inject fiat in the blockchain!!!
You guys have my vote for your great work...

Thank you for your vote!

looks cool!!!

Happy new year exyle and steem is now over 5$

i like steem!!!

Wow, the statistic really show the current supply is going high everyday, its a good one.
Happy new year @exyle

Its a great start for 2018.It really great and good news. Wish you best of luck. I hope 2018 will be a great year for Steemit community.

Congratulations to you too, my friend, Happy New Year and you are right, the year begins on a positive note, as the price of the STEEM is very encouraging and I very much hope that this positive will last for a long time! Thank you Mark for the excellent explanation of the principles of the work of the STEEM blockchain and this allows you to better understand the main advantages of the STEEM. Keep us informed of what's happening!

yeah.....we have a green start....happy new year @exyle

i hope it is not too hard to get big on steemit by the end of 2018. i want to take advantage to grow my page as not only a blogger but also a vlogger. please tell me its ONLY going to get a little harder by the end of 2018
