Running the Steemit, what is the purpose of the witnesses?

Hello guys!

Can you help me ? Take out a doubt I have.

As everyone can see I'm new here, and I saw that several people talk about witnesses and I do not understand what their real features are on the platform.

• How it works? Is it an election?
• Why should I vote?
• What is their work?
• What do I get by voting?
• Who can I vote for? Would you have any suggestions?
• Can anyone be witnesses?

I am curious and I would like to know this new blog model deeply, every day I study how it works here I am excited to learn.

I do not understand much about cryptocurrence, that's all new to me. In my little study I have seen that this system is fair, and transparent, different from the governments that try to circumvent all the rules without at least the citizens to know.

I learned in life that ...

That in doubt I can not be afraid to ask, and the more I venture and the more curiosity I have the more ambition for an answer I will find, and that there are people ready to answer my questions, so I can discover everything I want to know.

The sooner you ask these questions, the better, but it's never too late to know about something so important, the information that your future might mean is the knowing. Positioning correctly in this hour can even count in your favor, because it will show proactivity and interest.

So do not be afraid to ask. - Image Source
But always do it in form more educated and nice as possible.
