Understanding the 3 Currencies

STEEM 

Steem are the units that are bought and sold for real money in the markets. You can trade them as you would with your Bitcoins.  

STEEM POWER 

The steem power unit is the one that gives you your impact on the social network. The more you have your votes, comments and articles will have influence, and donce you would pay accordingly. This unit is a long-term investment.  The steem power unit also plays a very important role. It prevents massive price fluctuations and market volatility. So we can not all sell our steem power at the same time, which protects its value. 

STEEM DOLLARS

 The steem dollars unit is the third and final form of the currency. It can not be diluted and do not lose value. It is designed to be a stable currency that you can sell at any time. When you create a post, 50% of your salary will be in steem dollars. 

 You must be creative  

 Obviously as a beginner you will not win thousands by simply voting as your STEEM POWER will still be weak.  Steemit is a social network that pays its users for participation through the use of crypto-currency. 

Keyword? "Participation"! Although some users make thousands of dollars for their positions, note that they will often reflect and take their time to write it down.   

Steemit is not where you will become rich by making selfies or just pictures, be creative. Ask the right questions and reflect on what you are passionate about and / or be interested in Streemers! 

Do not underestimate the comments 

 Commenting is one of the most underrated means on Steemit. I saw some reviews climbing up to $ 10- $ 50! But these were not prompt comments, they were also thoughtful.

Otherwise, full of comments will earn between $ 0.5 - $ 1, this will not make you rich right away, but if you spend enough time on the platform and comment on the messages that attract your interest, you Can build your steem power balance gradually.

Remember, building your Steem Power is the most important factor on Steemit, so comments are a good way to build your reputation and your Steem Power.

Thank you! I really appreciate you taking the time to explain this so clearly.

I just joined yesterday and as such this was very helpful.
To be honest I'm not expecting to really earn much at all, I just love the extremely creative ways people are using crypto currencies to change things and think there is real potential to turn a lot of old ideas on their heads.
When I read about steemit I thought that this would surely be a great place to learn more about crypto in general, and so far that has been true.
This really seems like a great community.
