Imagine the strength of a blockchain serving a social blogging network. A platform that pays you to create content. Steemit, that's it.
Steemit? What is it ?
Steemit is a social network that pays users for the content they create. Indeed, when a user creates content on the platform, he is rewarded with a cryptocurrency: the Steem.
Depending on how users react to this new content, the author will be paid more or less. This drives to create quality content, rather than quantity.
Blockchain serving the content
This system is possible thanks to the use of the Steem blockchain and its cryptocurrency (STEEM) which allows creators of content to be paid for the votes they get.
This is a revolution in the field, since for the first time, it is the user who receives the benefits of the platform and not the shareholders. A big step towards the knowledge economy
Where does the value of Steemit come from?
At its root, Steem is simply a point system. However, as this points system is based on a Blockchain, points can be traded in the market as tokens. People buy and sell these chips, and many keep them in anticipation of increased purchasing power for various Steem-related services.
By analogy, Steem is a gaming system where users compete for attention and rewards by bringing content and adding value to the platform. The benefits that people earn are tokens that have market value and are easily tradable.
This is similar to the way someone playing a video game could get a restricted item or currency playing the game. If the currency or items are transferable between users, they can sell or buy them on the Internet. markets for playthings.
The community
I discovered Steemit more or less by chance, and I learned how to use the platform through @Roxanne which offers a series of articles and video on the subject.
I was also able to discover the "#fr" community on the platform thanks to her, and start to integrate it myself little by little.
My content
All my contents are posted on Steemit now. It also allows me to anchor in the blockchain the origin of my content to prevent theft.
Know that I post my content on Steemit soon finished. So there is no planning. Which means you can find out before everyone else on the platform!
