I happened upon steemit by pure chance. I've been heavily into researching/investing in cryptocurrencies/passive income options this past year especially and was on eobot.com and read about each of their coin options. STEEM being one of them and I really liked the idea of a coin created with social media in mind. I think everyone would enjoy getting paid or having the chance to passively earn while doing what most do every day with social media. Our lives in the past decade or so have been largely consumed by our tech gadgets and the majority of its is in one way or another intertwined with social media platforms. A platform that blends in earning potential for its users just kind of seems logical and natural to me. At the end of the day not a single social media platform has value without it's user base, why haven't we been being rewarded all along is really the better question?
Overall, I've been really impressed with the material on steemit. It's not full of garbage and troll comments as people are for the most part being held accountable by their own profit potential, so in that way it in part self moderates. Happy to be a part of it and look forward to watching the coin/community grow.
Great comments! I'm getting the feeling we are all thinking very similarly about this wonderful platform.
Thanks for participating!
