Today I realized in what aspect Steemit is better than Bitcoin & Ethereum.

Cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin and Ethereum allow us to build an alternative financial system that will give people the opportunity to trade without losing at intermediaries. In fact, the modern financial system allows to exist many parasites that do not create anything useful for society and live at the expense of others . I'm sure many of those who understand "crypto" topic know what I mean.

What do we really need?

The common man needs the ability to easily and securely share his goods and services with others. This is the basis of any economic system. I create something of value. The other person creates something of value. And we just want to share what were created. However, in the modern financial system is not so easy to do. You should use the services of a third party. This can be a bank or some state service.

In essence we need money only for exchange operations. Money is a universal product. But this "money product" is not valuable by itself. You are unable to eat money. You can't use money as clothes. You can't use money as a home. Or as medicine.

But the banks are the main participants in the modern financial system, they sell us the money. The central bank releases the "money product" and sells it to the public. It's called a loan. The bank gives you money so you can exchange goods with other people. It's not bad. However, government agencies do not ensure that in their system there are no parasites. Parasites are those who do not create anything of value, but a cunning way gets the money. It is the function of the government to ensure that thieves and criminals cannot take money from the population. Right? It is for the execution of these duties the population pays to the government. We pay taxes. And we hope that the government will take care of thieves and criminals. But, unfortunately, they are very bad cope with this task.

And then Bitcoin was created.

Thus it is quite logical that Bitcoin was created and all the multitude of other cryptocurrencies. People need a financial system that does not allow parasites to thrive. In other words, state officials can be replaced by a computer. The financial system based on cryptocurrency allows people to exchange goods and services and do not suffer from thieves and crooks. And that's the power of cryptocurrency. Crypto money really solve the issue of exchange of goods.

But why Steemit better than Bitcoin or Ethereum?

One of the main differences of these cryptocurrencies is the anonymity. Steemit is a social network. Thus, the better others know you, the better for you. And that's good. After all, we want to do business with those whom we know.

My father grew up in the village. I also half of my childhood spent in the village. In the village everyone knows each other. And this is their strength. The city is implementing the idea of anonymity. And the village - the idea of "everybody knows everybody". Steemit is like a village, while Bitcoin and other anonymous cryptocurrencies is like the city.

We love to do business with those whom we know.

In fact, in this sense, living in the village easier and better than in the city. Who is more financially secure - the person who has a lot of friends and acquaintances or someone who doesn't know anyone? The answer is obvious. As they say in Russia: "Do not have 100 rubles, have 100 friends". Friends will always help in trouble. Therefore, the more financially secure one who has a lot of good friends.

Steemit allows you to put into practice this idea of the "village" in the modern technological environment. Thus steemit creates the perfect environment for business. Here you can not only expand the circle of your friends but also to exchange goods and services using Steem or Steem Dollar.

It may seem that Steemit is only the implementation of social network on the Blockchain, but it's not.

Steemit is the foundation of the new economy. As it has almost everything you need for a successful business. If you are open - people will trust you. If people trust you, you can exchange goods and services. So Steemit better than Bitcoin in that sense. Steemit much more effectively creates the conditions for economic development. So I am very glad to joined this project.

Conclusions.

If you are looking for opportunities for business, Steemit is perhaps the best at the moment. Here you can see your customer and your business partner. A decent person does not need to hide his identity. Steemit helps us to see each other better. It unites us and helps us financially and spiritually. I am sure that in the future there will be valuable information for self-development and all opportunities for financial prosperity. Therefore, I Express once more my gratitude to the creators and participants of this cool project!

Sincerely yours,
Fedor.
