It's known to everyone in any country to represent his/her country and honor it by standing and defending it. This tells us that, the flag or our country is our pride and our hope.
YOU may ask why am comparing steemit to our various countries flag, the answer is very simple and powerful when you understand te concept and the whole purpose of steemit.
I've made it points since it's supposed to be understood and carry on to all steemians worldwide.
1)STEEMIT AS A FLAG OF HOPE :it means steemit is our pride and has given us assurance for a brighter days ahead through it cryptocurrency (steem) and has brought joy to all steemians in which am a big example of it.
2)STEEMIT AS OUR IDENTITY :it's required of every citizen of a country to have something that speaks for them as a united family, here on steemit we also have a very peaceful flag(steemit logo) which defines our identity as steemians.
3)STEEMIT AS A FLAG OF UNITY :I can say from from a clean heart that with steemit, I can stand on any platform and boldly say without any fear that STEEMIT IS THE MOST POWERFUL SOCIAL MEDIA WHEN IT COMES TO UNITY which 
4)STEEMIT AS A FLAG OF APPRECIATION:This is why we can't be compared with all other social media when it comes to showing appreciation for the little effort you put on, which if totally different from all the others which waste our money, resources, time, in return of nothing, so on steemit here, what we do by showing our appreciation is by upvoting your post, comments on your post so that you can feel loved and appreciated.
5)STEEMIT AS A FLAG OF LOVE:Love is indeed shown through acts of kindness and steemit is real blessed with that when it comes to true live in it fullest, there's no fighting, insults, envy, blackmailing here on steemit because we are loving family, that bring one of the difference between steemit and all other social medias.
