Overnight Steemit has rewritten the rules of social networks, welcome to the future...

Steemit is a social network platform which offers its users the opportunity to earn a real cryptocurrency, like bitcoin, by simply posting whatever they want!
Sounds too good to be true? It isn't. Steemit is the future of social networks.

Ponder this... Why shouldn't we get rewarded for our posts? Our time?
Platforms like Facebook use the posts of their members to market to those same users, (and in the process make billions), and yet give their users nothing...
Steemit has a new approach.

The cryptocurrency Steem was developed to help incentivize the use Steemit.
The idea of Steemit is very straightforward and familiar. It is a social network where people can post whatever they want however with Steemit, they have the opportunity to earn a real cryptocurrency.

Steemit offers its users real opportunity. Simply post, just like you would on any other social network and poof! You earn cryptocurrency.

Another positive about Steemit is that it has a very short learning curve.
Steemit is a simple platform to learn how to use.

Steemit is a social platform which allows its users to earn a real cryptocurrency by simply posting what they would have just posted somewhere else! Moreover, it does this without asking for anything.

The cryptocurrency Steem is traded on many cryptocurrency exchanges, and therefore can be exchanged into other currencies as well, like bitcoin.

As many of you know who have followed my work for years, I am the type of person who looks for opportunity whatever I can find it. Here with the Steemit platform, this has opportunity written all over it! Upside down backwards and sideways.

Well said Greg ! Facebook for the most part is filled with self serving attention seekers projecting these wonderful lives that they are supposedly living. Where as on Steemit, what I see is oodles and oodles of valuble content, there is definitley a different breed of people on this platform.

Agree know a lady that post thoughts for the day on FB that she copies from other authors.

You my friend as wise.

I couldn't agree more. I find myself on here for hours just reading articles because so much of the content is actually good material.

Been following you for years on YouTube. Joined this because of you, and am enjoying it so far!

Same here

Me too! Just now in fact! I hope it's as easy as you are all saying!

Greg,

Good to see you here, all we need is Greg Hunter now also :)

He is coming.

I was pretty sure he would. :)

We just need a few more YouTuber's like yourself moving onto this platform and bringing their followers with them.

Thank you! I am working on Greg Hunter.

For sure would be a good poach!

I love it, Google gets so big that they think they control the whole planet and then human genius comes along with another solution that can totally destroy them.

Yes definitely try to get Greg Hunter on here!

what about the moneygps youtube account? @ David Quintieri

Well on your advice I started a account and received my authorization to post yesterday. Not sure if I have made any money in my opening day but that bottom number went from 4.86 to 7.56 in 24 hours and I only made comments and posted 4 short blogs. Thanks for the advice. DR

You get some Steem when you join and the price has gone up recently. You will get rewards after 7 days.

Ok thanks for the info. Keep up the amazing job your doing in guiding us less knowledgable folks when it comes to Steemit. DR.

There's a lot to learn here. They FAQ from the menu in the top right answers a lot of questions you may have. Have fun

Well done, I'll take a look at your posts!!

Top o' the mornin' to you Mr. Mannarino and all my fellow followers of you! I wanted to say thanks for turning me on to steemit. I must say I'm really enjoying it and find it refreshing! Yes it's a bit confusing at first and exactly how it works I'm still fitting the pieces together. I think we're all still aboard the learning curve but that's why we have each other! Gonna finish my cup o' joe and do a little steemit surfing while my daughter enjoys her cheerios and Thomas the train! Thanks again, much appreciated and as always I enjoyed!

I'm still learning myself. I don't quite understand what powering down is or the differnence between tokens and other items. Just trying to let time on the site teach me.

Some of your Steem rewards are in Steem Power (SP) which gives you voting influence. To get that into 'liquid steem' that you can transfer to others or use on markets you have to 'power down'. That transfers SP to Steem over 13 weeks. You can stop it at any time. Steem Dollars are supposed to be pegged to US$, but the price has been driven up lately. These would be useful for buying goods as you should know what they will be worth. If you search around you will find lots of tutorial posts. Also see the FAQ that's linked from the main menu (top right of the page).

Thanks. I'll look at those items.

I agree man, what an incredibly innovative platform for connection. I'm excited to be a part of this community and I'm actually commenting on your videos where on YouTube I didn't really. But since I'm here, I just want to say that you are a great guy and I truly believe you are making a difference in the world!

I agree I've been watching Greg for years too. Great guy!

I joined up last year and am having a great time. I'm only a casual blogger, but even I can make good money here. Steemit is really growing now and I hope to see lots of cool people posting. There's also potential to sell goods or services for Steem, so you can gain funds that way too. This is just the start of something amazing

agree steevc, ditto signed up last year & now GM on board even better. #dumpfb

Looks like he's bringing in lots of new people. That's what Steemit needs right now.

Exactly, potential is huge & if FB went south at the same time even better. Theres an invasive / privacy / liberty being compromised by FB issue in play here too which makes steemit platform even more attractive beyond its obvious blockchain steem crypto aspect

Do you think that it will become harder to create original content though and will increased numbers of people lead to dilution of votes?

It may be harder to stand out as it grows. I would hope that Steem will grow in value so that people will still get something for their work, but I think that those who got in early had an advantage. We will have to see how Steemit scales to millions of users

Gregory, OK, you've hit me over the head about this enough and I'm finally seeing the light. I've taken the plunge and am on Steemit and blogging and having a blast. Thanks!

Greg you are the man! I will continue to follow you on your YouTube channel and on Steem as well. Keep up the good work and thank you for all that you do.

It's great to have you here. Let's share the wealth. As we spread the word and help others to become successful we all benefit!

Great post Greg, I am loving Steemit so far!
All you millennials (and others of course) go follow my millennial-money blog for a millennials perspective on all things crypto, precious metals, and finance!

Does anyone think steemit could potentially have some sort of market where you could even be able to purchase stuff like on amazon? I mean, how big can this thing be? I think, YUGGGEEEE

You can already buy anything with steem on https://openbazaar.org/
But in the future I expect we will see a market for steem only.

wow, cool site. I picture it being like that, but a tab on this site that is streamlined.

There is this https://steemit.com/trending/steemshop
There is no escrow protection though so make sure you trust people you buy from.

Wow you know your stuff! thanks for all the info, still getting the reigns here. I know its in beta now, i cant wait to see what the future holds for #steemit . Hopefully ive figured everything out by then! haha

I assume you only get money (steem) if someone votes on your comment? This is all new to me. It only took me 2 hours to figure out how to follow Greg. Hopefully they make it more user friendly.

Thanks Greg! My first day very interesting. It's hard to know who to trust anymore but I have been following you for a few years and you do seem to really want to help others.

Steemit is a great concept too as a cryptocurrency, and how they should have a backing of some type of value, work, effort, or resource.

I just started on steemit yesterday and I hope you are right. Been following you on utube for a few months.

I have to resteem and follow you sorry!

Steemit is great. Much better than Facebook or other social network.

Greg, looks like you will do well here on Steemit. Smart move.

Greg , i'm not sure if any of us have this quite figured out yet maybe you do . I signed up for steam it under your recommendation . You always say you have our backs. Maybe you could take some of the stress out of this for us and make a video about how to exchange our steam it and to real current sea that we can use in the store . I heard you had to convert it into a bit coin first. Any insights on this that you can share would be helpful . Thanks so much!!

Trying to get use to this platform. I'm sure it won't take long. Keep up the great work Greg!

I think Steemit will be evolving and improving. It has seen a big influx of new users. Partly because of you, Greg.

Excellent post, well said. Thank you for coming onboard and sharing.
upvote and resteemed

Well said!

Great stuff.

Great video Greg! I love the crytpos! Resteeming U!

Steemit is great you should also check up Belacom, its the instagram version of steemit.
Kindly follow back

The concept seems real innovative and I do hope it draws people away from crap social media like shitbook and the likes which I've stopped using long ago. Currently the crowd is growing but the content uploaded here is mostly crap by others just testing this out.

  • Steemit is that it has a very short learning curve.
    Steemit is a simple platform to learn how to use.
    nope..that's not true for a LOT of us.
    Like me...I am a retired truck driver..crypto WHAT?
    Markdown WHO? tokens?
    It took me MONTHS to figure it out. I'm still not sure I understand it.
    I'm hesitating and VERY tentativly considering converting some of my Steem...to dollars.
    I am WHELMED
    Steem is NOT KISS.

Well each one of us learns at out own pace. Trust m I am not very savvy when it comes to technical stuff however, for me I was able to pick this up in a few days. Best to you. Greg

Don't get me wrong..
this is me on Steemit.

for the last six months.
I learn slow..but sometimes I get it.

That feels like my life in general at the mo!!!!

Let's learn this thing together @everittdmickey!

This is awesome!

Great to see you here, Gregory!

Great work you do. Thanks!

I am 100% on cryptos, but It's still funny how the old adage ''if you can't hold it, you don't own it'' is quickly going out of style!

Let's load up on Steem before the sheep holes wake up to it... if they ever do!

Oh yeah!

Hell yeah!

never joined facebook, it seemed a waste of time. but now you can get paid so i why not go for it

You are 100% correct!

Yep I totally agree! why post on a site like that where the only one making money from it is Mr Mark Sucka-berg

It's funny, Greg - I can now read your content with such a clear idea of who you are and what your natural cadence is. In other words, I can imagine you reporting on this to a private audience of 1 (me). It's a testament to how well you've let your audience get to know you and engage with your knowledge - thanks again for inspiring so many to trial this platform!

Well said Greg. #byebyefacebook
We will soon have a 2.0 version of Twitter and YouTube also, both backed by Steem. So also #byebyetwitter and byebyeyoutube :-)

Yep nice blog! ...I was thinking of writing something similar....oh well, back to the drawing board!!!

ready.

I think as long as it maintains a somewhat professional atmosphere, for the most part, it could be a better networking platform than any of the other social media sources. Simply for the fact in can be a great way to crowd fund AND market any business. Hopefully, it can weather the oncoming storm of the crypto currency gold rush, as the phrase "cashless society" grows louder.

Thanks Greg!

I have invited friends to join steemit from other social medias. Steemit is growing fast. I am glad i am here

Nice work Greg!

So in short, we just reply and we get paid some amounts of steemit ?

Thank you Greg for your insightful post regarding Steemit~! Takes a lot of thought and time (and not to mention, effort) into creating those daily posts. Looking forward to keep learning about economic and financial updates via your youtube videos, as well as of course, cyptocurrency~ :)

Excellent post!! thank you for sharing

I am new to Steemit because of you Greg. Thank you for the opportunity and helpful information you provide.
