What Is Steemit? and how to use it to gain STEEM

a blockchain-powered decentralized social network, distributed $1.3 million in cryptocurrency to users of the site during its first week, who are paid for posting and voting on content. Steemit is a social media that creates a platform where users get paid for creating and curating content. it is built on blockchain technology. Steemit’s public and distributed blockchain, called Steem, automatically distributed the payout, so the company itself does not have control over the distribution.

Part of what is so unique & valuable about Steemit is that it makes it simple & easy for anyone to get in on and partake in this wave, without any need for technical expertise.It’s refreshing to see Steemit begin fostering diversity and on-board new people who otherwise wouldn’t take interest in cryptocurrency.

Steemit pays users half with “Steem Power,” a vesting currency that fuels voting power, and half with Steem Dollars, which can be exchanged for U.S. Dollars.
Rewards are also given for voting on content, as compensation for helping the community curate valuable content.
