Yesterday I became a contributor on The Huffington Post.
After three weeks of fun with you good people, the topic of my first Huff article was a no-brainer, it had to be Steemit.
I did a quick search on Google for any mentions of Steemit on the site and there were zero results.
So, I'm very happy to announce that Steemit has just made its first appearance on The Huff Post!
May it be the first of many.
Here's the link to the article.
I'd love to hear what you think.
Eeeexcelent! You baited them into a bustling hive of capitalism, discrimination, and perpetual triggering. May the safe spaces burn and the snowflakes melt. Bless you, sir.

I very nearly freaked out when I saw another post on Steemit about the first appearance on Huff Post - thought I might have to go back and remove my upvote. Turns out it is directed to your article. Phew! Here's the link that I had found first: https://steemit.com/news/@r4fken/steemit-covered-by-huffingtonpost-contributor-introducing-millions-to-the-concept

Sure @thebluepanda - translations are welcome, just send me half of the Steem Dollars you make if it generates over say, $5?

It is awesome to see Steemit show up on mainstream media. I still suspect it's a bit of an alien concept to some, but once the name is widespread, people will certainly give it a try.

The only really alien part that I've seen so far comes when you want to convert the Steem Dollars to actual dollars. That still requires jumping through a few unusual hoops. Aside from that, I think people get the idea of being paid for activity pretty rapidly... even if they can't understand where the money is coming from.

Thanks @michaelx I'll hit you up about that mate. I'm already in your PR Guerrilla training though, if that's what you're referring to, I've been going over and over the videos you've done there so far. Great stuff.

I don't know - Steem Power and Powering Up and Down isn't as simple as logging into Facebook.
But of course, when they find out they can earn money, people will learn it all in a jiffy. :)
