But something unexpected, a steem bomb exploded in Aceh, and continued to spread throughout Indonesia like a virus. The #aceh tag is a popular one, and then uses the 70% Indonesian tag from Aceh, partly written in Indonesian. Results of observationt, some Aceh users remain at its founding, using the #aceh tag and posting in English.
What is felt for the existence of the steemit platform?
This platform is like a new job vacancy. Make a post, then get rewarded. User creates content like a journalist working on a news site.
Sometimes the benefits received exceed the average incomes in Aceh. It's very tempting. There is no age limit for all users.

A question. What is the age that is restricted to join in steemit.com?
Let's discuss.
How to solve this problem?
