Steemit is not some fly-by-night Ponzi scheme. Steemit is about building a community of high-quality people and financing the production of the highest quality content.
Steemit requires no initial investment in order to participate. It’s free to use and you’re not spending your own money when you upvote content you like.
Steemit is just the first minimum viable product on Steem, a blockchain-based social economy. The Steem developers have bootstrapped an entire economy, complete with its own crypto-currencies. Steem is peer-to-peer, decentralized, uncensorable and therefore unstoppable.
So it’s a good idea for you get started with Steemit — and Steem — now.
