Yes, it is amazing is it not? Steem is different, it is almost like written in stone, in it's digital form called a Blockchain. And it just got forked hard. Do not worry if you do not get that though. All that you need to know is that you can sign up and get payed some Steem Power for doing so. Does it end there?
NO! It gets even better, because for your original posts you can get rewarded. Steem is also Smart Cash, like Bitcoin and many others, that's why you have got a wallet in your account. And it may take a while before you get the grasp of the whole realm that is Steem. In the meantime you can just post, go ahead, express yourself! You'll notice that there is a huge community that will help you on your way and soon you'll be talking Blockchain at parties as if it were your second nature!
Amazing? Yes, if you do get the grasp of how it is constructed you'll stand back in awe. But you do not even need to be a Crypto geek, nor a Mathematical wizzard, you just have to be you, expressing yourself. If you are a blogger, then you fit in, a writer of books, this is your platform, a photographer, painter, musician or sculptor, expose your craft to a huge audience, maybe sell that one piece.
Share your views, exchange your thoughts and maybe not even for the upvotes, nor the potential payout, but because you can, here at Steem.
Steem 'n Roll!
