Whats Is Steemit About?

in steemit •  8 years ago 

Well its my first day in steemit community but its not my first time to hear about the crypto currency world. Ever since i heard of Bitcoin i did doubt the sincerity about the system but now i still cant believe am trading with Bitcoins and other altcoins as well.
Just few days ago a friend of mine introduce me to Steemit, well as an introduction he told me that steemit is just like facebook, twitter, instagram etc well i was confused cause i asked my self what then is special about steemit? Not until he told me that its another crypto currency just like bitcoin and that Steemit is the site that runs it.
My first few hours in the steemit community is not all that encouraging but no matter happens am still facinated about it and am ready to learn more.
Well am making this post based on people who still might question trobled in their minds as to what Steemit is about.
In the simplest terms Steemit is a version of Reddit or Facebook, a social network where people exchange value.
In social gaint sites like Facebook, twitter, redit etc we spend much time on them giving them much value and worth but in Steemit we get rewarded for the time and post we make, meaning we get rewarded for that Value.
Steemit isn't perfect, there are still issues of fair allocation among users to work out. Who's votes count more! There's also long term ad revenue generation. But right now, you can potentially be an early adopter in something that could genuinely disrupt social media and really give people a voice.
Well all i can say is for you to take a step Signup and introduce yourself to the community and gey reward for each contribution you make to the community.
You can take the steemit Ultimate guide as well👇

For editors it is better to use the Markdown Styling Guide. It is an important source when you want to work in an editor without any icons. Below of every editors frame (comments and postings) you will get the Preview of your work.

Including Images in your post works perfectly. You can do it in several ways, as described in the image help.

For sophisticated alignments read my article about alignment in the editor.
