Today I would like to give my fellow Steem family a good read and some great content. First and foremost I would like to give respect to the Steem community for helping all newbies such as myself grow and flourish. . Since joining I have seen alot of positive things happening not just within the Steemit community but crypto-world as a whole. In such times as today with the worlds biggest financial meltdown ahead of us a new financial world is growing and making the future brighter for generations to come. Steemit is a platform that is here to stay and cryptocurrency will be the future. Steemit is here, Steemit is now, and Steemit is the future. . Steemit is not just a social news blockchain. Steemit allows users to have a voice, maximize their influence, and unite. Platforms like this are a step in the right direction in todays times were an oppressing force is in control of this tight circled centralized system. In a system as such how does one flourish or prosper with little control and little knowledge of how things really work. That has been the question for centuries and the answer is, Steemit!!! 馃槆馃槆馃槆. So what is Steemit? Well Steemit is a social news service which runs a blogging and social networking website (Steemit.com) on top of a blockchain database (Steem). Ned Scott and Dan Larimer are the founders of the Steemit Inc. company which runs the Steemit website and invests in ongoing development of the platform which was created in 2016. The concept of Steemit is similar to other blogging websites or social news websites however is different in that content is saved in a blockchain. Using a blockchain enables a reward for content with secure tokens of value. Images can be uploaded and hosted on Steemit as well as other multimedia content which must be embedded from other web hosts, there is a WYSIWYG editor, and you can also opt to use markdown formatting with HTML elements. Authors who get upvoted can receive a reward in a cryptocurrency token named STEEM and US dollar-pegged tokens called Steem Dollars. People are also rewarded for curating good content. I find the platform unique due to the fact that it has a reputation system, where new accounts start with a reputation of 25. Community upvotes on content can influence users reputation up and down, incentivizing online etiquette. . Thanks to platforms like bitcoin we have a new world of finance. Cryptocurrency is the here, the now, and future. In closing, to all my readers Steemit is the future CNN, MSNBC, FOX, and CSPAN for all content with no secrets nor centeralized control. Keep the Steem rolling. Thanks for reading and as always stay safe and stay prepared. One Love!!!
