Hey amazing people, I don't know where to begin to be honest with you. Already I have made over $7,000 from my introduction post and feel at a loss for words. Just know I am extremely honored and humbled by your upvotes and support.
Because of this I want to give back and tell everyone I know about this amazing blockchain based, uncensored and user based platform. I run https://www.youtube.com/user/wearechange and want to make the best informative video about steemit, how it works and its game changing potential.
Let me know in the comment section below of this post any of the following
- what kind of video you would like to see
- what facts about steemit should people know about
- what tutorials you would like to see so people know how to use this platform
- or whatever you want me to do.
My Camera is locked and loaded, LET'S DO THIS
Much love and respect,
Luke
I really think you would gain a deep understanding of Steemit by reading Dan Larimer's blog. This is the central reason Steemit was created, out of a need to create non-violent solutions to the world's most pressing problems. This is Dan's quote which is very powerful, and is the backbone of Steemit actually:
"Violence is a shortcut that is taken when people get frustrated and lack innovative alternatives. People don’t choose violence because they want the violent solution, they choose it because they don’t see any other way."
If you could take a moment and read the blog post from which that came, I'd really like that. Here it is:
https://bytemaster.github.io/update/2015/12/29/Why-Vision-Matters/
And I would add, to create a financial incentive for people to use logic, reason and creativity to carve out solutions that make our world better. Abusive people earn zero dollars in Steemit. The smart people soon realize that their income is proportionate to their community efforts. And for some, that community effort can be in the form of humor, data, analysis, monitoring abuse (spam, trolls, stalking), programming, art, services, basically anything that the community deems valuable. You are valuable to us because you have an existing, engaged following who respects you. We give you that respect back in the form of upvotes, financial rewards.
You will also find many of your basic questions answered in Steemit Help: http://www.steemithelp.com/index.php?/selfhelp/categories

I would highly recommend reading through the whitepaper (if you haven't already done so) here: https://steem.io/SteemWhitePaper.pdf
Personally I would like to see these nuggets in your video:
As mentioned by others, the big one is that Steemit pays for content/comments/votes with Steem Dollars and Steem Power. People, like yourself, have and continue to make thousands of dollars for a single post.
Steem Dollars are pegged to the USD and are one of, if not the most, price-stable crypto currencies available. Holding SD earns you about 10% interest. So it's like a liquid CD/GIC that pays 10%. This is huge.
Steem Power compounds in realtime and 90% of all new STEEM is distributed to SP accounts. At the current level of STEEM distribution SP accounts will more than double in 12 months. SP can be withdrawn at a maximum rate of 1% per week.
All of your accounts are contained in your profile. You can see all of your balances any time you log in. Transferring SD takes seconds and only requires the username of the receiving party. No government can seize your account, block your transfers or take your money away. If your account gets hacked you can recover it.
Dan and Ned are awesome and should be nominated for a Nobel Peace Prize. Seriously.

You can share those 27 things with your audience - https://steemit.com/steemit/@dmitriybtc/27-reasons-to-join-steemit. I outlined pretty much any reason why they should join Steemit.

It will never be too late because you don't actually have to spend money to use this like you do bitcoin. It will be too late to be considered an early adopter though. On that we agree. :)

Luke would be great if you could do an interview with the developers @dan & @ned focusing on freedom of speech, censorship resistance.
there's been some censorship issues on Steemit . people with a lot of SteemPower (often referred as whales) were able with just a flag downvote to censor a post (on the Steemit site, not on the blockchain) and often for petty reasons.
I think this is being currently addressed by the devs (with the fine-tuning of the reputation system) and also by the community organizing itself to counter arbitrary censoring downvotes, but I'd like to hear more on this subject and what measures the devs have in mind to protect freedom of speech on Steemit.

I would love for someone to create a video that quickly explains the steemit basics then also showing footage of highlights of the last couple months on steemit so people realize this social platform is real, and its not going to go anywhere or create fake/illegal money for you. Narration included.
That's the question I get asked most of the time when explaining Steemit to someone new. "yeah but can you actually use the money you receive? what does the law say about that..."
A simplified version of steemit with some highlights and ending with something like "what are you waiting for, a new world is waiting for you" or something in a similar manner to feel people comfortable and excited to join.
Thanks for this btw! Made sure to give you a follow and support your account and channel in the future.

I would be interested in learning the following:
1.What is Steemit likely to look like a year from now. Or 2 years from now. Will it be the same? Are there other features that we can expect to see along the way? What might those features be?
2.What methods are available for bringing traffic to our posts? While there are those who have followers from other platforms, some of us will have to start almost from scratch. It would be nice to know how to supercharge our momentum for maximum impact.
3.It would be interesting to know the typical timeframe from when someone starts a blog to the point of really getting a sizable following.
That's all I'm looking for right now that I can think of.
I really do appreciate you doing this Luke. I sense that you are excited about the possibilities of Steemit, and I like how you're directing that excitement back into the platform and, quite frankly, how you're investing in those of us who are following you. Thank you!

Here's a good question. I created my steemit account by logging on to facebook. Now, I do not have a steemit password by which to log on to steemit throug my mobile device or other means. Also, I fear that if any one else in our home makes a steemit account on this computer, I'll never be able to access my steemit account again. How do I find out my steemit account password so I can record it for future uses?
