Hi, I'm Mely and today I want to tell you what Steemit is.
It turns out that Steemit is a social network based on Steem, in which we can create content of our preference, it is a combination of three pillars: creators, interactions and a cryptomoneda.
Steemit brings together the best of web platforms today, as the era of distributed systems are rapidly consolidating. Something we have to take into account is that all the content that we publish in Steemit will remain recorded forever in the Blockchain network, that is one of the characteristics of a chain of blocks, because the content created by an author is distributed in all the nodes that support Steemit and at the same time Steem.
It is a new site, which has been gaining position in these few years that has been in operation, a while ago (a few months) the fever of the cryptocurrencies was prevailing, with that that the Bitcoin reached up to 20,000 dollars, was all crazy, in theory it did something good as more people plunged into the pool of cryptocurrencies, making these projects more viable and sustainable.
In Steemit you are paid with Steem Power and Steem Dollars (SDB), depending on the options you set when you publish, you can choose to get only Steem Power or get the half share of Steem Power and Steem Dollars, the latter: Steem Dollars is a token based In Steem you will always try to stay at a price of one dollar.
The ways to get income is to publish and Steemit users vote for your content, more votes more revenue, and if the votes come from influential people in Steemit, you will get more income. This last point of the influence of a user in Steemit comes based on the Steem Power, which is like your level in Steemit, to more Steem Power more influential you are.
By default when you create your Steemit account, they give you a certain amount of Steem Power (25) and some SDB, but it's just for you to start the rest of the work. You can also vote content of others and you will get some income, the trick is that if you vote for someone's post and it goes viral soon, you will have more income. It is a question of betting and choosing a good candidate to give a vote or simply vote for the content that is to your liking.
I forgot to comment, you also get income, we just have to interact frequently in Steemit.
In synthetics in Steemit we find Steem that is the basis of everything. And a few token: Steem Dollars (SBD) and Steem Power of which we already talked.
To finalize the distributed technologies on which the blockchain are based, they are very solid and they are consolidating with the passage of time.
Do not blow your mind a Blockchain in simple words a distributed database, ie a database that is present in thousands of computers in the world.
