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.

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.

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..........

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?

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.

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.

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?

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.
