Prepare - Uncover - Outwit - Find - WIN!
Welcome to the Steemit Crypto Challenge. You may know this series of puzzles, or not. Let me give you a quick introduction. You are looking to find a solution. Anything can be a hint. You will start with two hints given and need to seek the right path. You think you are good with riddles? Are you a big master of puzzles? Find the answer. Sometimes the hints are hidden, not visible to the eye. But they are here.
Can you follow your intuition and stay on the right track? The first to reveal a hint will win a prize. The first to attain understanding with the right answer will receive their bigger reward.

Why are you starting on page 148 instead of page 147? And LINE 4 WORD 3 would be "be" not peddling or?

"1.1,4.3,10.4,21.3,148:2.2,1 4 9 – 1 4 7" is mean peddling is with different interest. But I don't understand second hint. İf someone will take prize with my this help, I hope he/she will give me some part of prize :)

1.1 = 1st sentence 1st word
148:2.2 = page 148, 2nd sentence 2nd word
1 4 9 – 1 4 7 = reverse the sentence you found

i thought kind of this i did the 1.1 = Interest then i went to the 4.3 which turned oud to be Nakamoto , 10.4 Capitalists ,21.3 Firms , 148 : 2.2 for me turned out to be Payment but then at 149-147 i got lost and havent been able to do anything

Check again my friend, you wrong about 4.3, 10.4, 21.3.
1st number is number of sentence
2nd number is number of word
Pay attention to the dot :)

You have a couple words flipped. peddling with is different interest
Thinking it is a clue to the password for the second hint. Maybe something to do with trading influence, or lobbying, etc (i.e., the underlying mechanics of how SteemIt works).

Sorry didn't show my work. As many others were doing, used the numbers as indicators for line.word in the essay.
1.1 Interest
4.3 Nakamoto
10.4 capitalists
21.3 firms
148:2.2 payment
149-147 = 2
Tried this for about an hour before i realized I was spelling Nakamoto wrong :|

1.1 - Interest
4.3 - Nakamoto
10.4 - capitalists
21.3 - firms
148:2.2 - payment
149-147 - assuming this means us to reverse the words..
So I'm at "payment firms capitalists Nakamoto Interest"
