Thank you Tim for this amazingly well written and very instructive article!!
As a newbie to Steemit, this provides me with a good perspective of the wider Steem ecosystem, its developments to date and current advances. I also discovered some new cool DApps which I'll be trying out soon.
Just awesome!
This is a wonderful introduction into the history of Steemit, well written and as another newbie I can say I am happy I found this on my first day here.
