is a blogging platform with a social network and cryptocurrency component. It borrows some of the features of Reddit in that it allows users to upvote and downvote content, as well as follow topics, have discussions, and submit content of your own. However, users also have the ability to earn a share of revenues in the form of Steem cryptocurrency. Content creators, people who curate content, and commenters all have the opportunity to get paid.
Launched in July 2016, Steemit was the first social media and blogging website built on the Blockchain. It was created by Daniel Larimer, whose career as a software programmer and cryptocurrency entrepreneur has seen him involved in several Blockchain and cryptocurrency projects. Steemit has over 1.2 million users and is now a part of the Tron Network.
