Steemit is gaining in popularity, and I believe anarchists can really benefit from the platform.
In this video I explain what Steemit is and why I am using it. I put forward the idea that it will revolutionize how anarchists function and work to create more converts for anarchy. This is especially true because there is no censorship on Steemit, and people are incentivized to actually consider the topics and how they respond before they post.
Steemit is revolutionary and can do these things because the platform is built on blockchain technology. It also has an inbuilt cryptocurrency system that is multifunctional. These include, Steem, Steem Power, and Steem dollars. I explain what each one does in detail.
And for anyone wanting to know, yes the cryptocurrency you earn on the platform can be converted to Bitcoin or USD, although it is a bit of a process to get Steem and Steem Dollars exchanged. However, developers do intend to streamline this process.
I hope you guys enjoy the video. It is a bit longer than my usual creations.

My name is Sterlin. Follow me @ Psychologic-Anarchist. I also run the Psychologic-Anarchist Facebook page and produce many YouTube videos. My interests lie in the intersection of counseling psychology and anarchism. I write about the depredations of psychiatry, and also the new philosophy of compassionate anarchism. We have a large community devoted to discussing psychology and relational voluntaryism.
Steemit certainly has put the buzz back into crypto. I haven't seen such excitement since......ever!

I am telling you. I used to write for Bitcoin.com (I still can if I want to), but I have been involved in my own projects so much that I haven't had the time to write. But with Steemit, I can promote my content as well as work directly with a crypto-system on a regular basis. It is amazing. My mission now is to also help spread the good word of Steemit.

Thanks for your upvote. I noticed I recieved $0.03 from you and you have just over 1000 SP. I give out $0.01 and have just under 1000 SP. Any idea if 1000 is the critical number? I'll buy more ASAP if it is

I think this is probably going to be a lot easier to get people interested in crypto than anything that's gone before. I think it will be an easy sell.

Thank you @sterlinluxan for this post. Watching the video has answered a few questions I had about how things work. You explained clearly how each phase works. I also love that you called Steemit a compassionate community. I see that in quite a few posts. I am glad you all outnumber the ones who are just here to earn a dollar. I have only been on steem for almost a week now, and I am seeing myself as a lifer at this point.

Oh, I did have a question I forgot to ask. Why did they change the post time from 24hrs to 12?

A really great video! You are actually inspiring me to start becoming active in anarchism again. I always considered myself an anarchist, but never really did anything about it.

Not to nitpick, but Steemit has the mother of all censorship mechanisms via the reputation system. You are likely referring to centralized censorship by a government agency for the purpose of furthering some political agenda. In that sense you are correct. But in another sense, Steemit has the potential to be the most efficient censorship machine on the planet - and that isn't a bad thing. Anyways, yes! Steemit is going to empower entirely new sections of society and culture that were previously marginalized due to lack of funding and banking.

True enough. But this does seem like a great platform to help us transparently work through the problems associated with the tyranny of groupthink

Yes sir. I see your point. I was only implying censorship in the sense of totally taking down material. Even with the reputation system, content can still be viewed. Frankly, I am as happy as you for the reputation system, because it keeps the bots, spammers, and abusers at bay. Rather than censorship, I see this as freedom of association enacted based on merit.
Great response, John. i hope you enjoyed the video overall.

Great to have you here Sterlin! Excellent perspective on Steemit! I think there is room to grow in the format area and ease of use but it is quickly becoming a large alternative media outlet.

I really think this is going to be the platform that allows these ideas to spread. I'm looking forward to reading, watching, and making more contributions!

Absolutely, Randy. This place is awesome and it will streamline social media. The only downfall I could see is if someone figured out how to game the system and crash it. However, I don't feel like that will happen because of all the incentive to keep it fair.

Hi Sterlin! I just heard about Steemit yesterday, and like you, immediately recognized the value. For years I've lamented that youtube and FB, though useful, are sub par mediums due to centralized control, connections to spy agencies, and they enrich the controllers of society instead of the People who are adding the real value.
Thanks for the explanation. See ya around.
PS, I'm your friend Jason Anthony Fair on FB.
