Amazing post! I remember I learned about ETH watching videos on Youtube. All right, it's more easy to pay attention during watching something but in the end I often realized it's was worth nothing. I wish I was on Steemit that time...it'd be much easier to learn basics about cryptocurrencies.
Reading this blog post is easy to understand (unlike most of whitepapers :-)) PS: STEEM whitepaper is one of good ones.
