How well, do you know steemit blockchain?

I have been in the steemit platform for about 3 years now, and this has been an uninterrupted 3 years without having to go for a break and come back. It has been back to back, enjoying all the projects it offered without less.

The platform is a place where most of us earned a living and a complementary side income. Thisnl platform has so muchcl evolved from what it used to bento what it is now. I have a picture memories of how this interface was and now. I joined at a time the steemitcryptoacademy community was anhoring all the engagements/assignments in the platform.

This is unlikely of it now. We have different communities participating in the engagement now and with the steemitcryptoacademy also making is default presence when hosting.

The platform comes with a lot of features that allow us to engage and use it freely. Some of this feature represents the steemit platform and its identity. We have the upvote and downvote feature; a feature that decides what a user either earns or loses from a curators activity.

We have the button to follow or unfollow users and share our contents with other centralized platoforms like the X channel, facebook, etc. How about the tokens we earn? The steem, SP, SBD, and Trx tokens are the major bebefits that flow from its reward system.

How can you explain steemit to a stranger?

I could remember how I was introduced into the system and how I got interested. The steemit platform and just like every other social media platform allows you to share your conests freely andnat not without fear of gauging the user.

One difference about the steemit platform to others is its reward system. The steemit allows you to earn from all quality publications made no matter how little the value. This value is seen in the form of a crypto, which in turn can be converted to our local currency.

All we need to do is to make content and publish in the platform. The same energy we use while engaging in other social media, use it here and earn back a good reward that pays not only your internet fees but part of you personal bills.

What is the meaning of this acronym CSI on steemit. How can a user know his /her voting CSI.

I havebseen this acronym several both when moderators review posts in the community and as well in steemworld.org app. If i am not mistaken, it is Community Search Index.

It represents or show how much we have supported other user publications in the community. It comes with a count that shows if we have Self voted ourselves, or/and other users.

What is the work of curators on steemit?

We have authors and curators in the community and each of them complement each other. The curators are simply those users whose major activities in the community is to add value to publications by means of their influence (SP).

They are joy givers as their upvotes can only put a smile on your face and make your day. However, we are all curators in our ways as we continue to grow our CSI count, we make upvote impacts despite the little values given and earned thereafter.

What is SP ? How long does it take to return to Steem if a power down is being initiated.

Steem Power (SP) as memtioned before is the influence any user in the ecosystem would want to have at any time. We earn SP when we make contents in the community as at least 50% of our earns returns as SP and automatically powerup.

We can also earn SP when we convert of SBD to steem and then power it up. Therefore it is liquid steem while still in our wallet for direct usage but as soon as the powerup process is initiated it changes its form to Steem Power (SP) which takes a certain number of days to revert back to its liquid state.

When a power down is initiated, it takes a wooping 28days to have everything up there as SP to revert back as Liquid Steem. This journey of 28days is broken down weekly with a ¼ of this value seen droping as liquid steem into the wallet. This happens consecutively for the next 4 weeks if not interupted.
