RE: Why Steemit isn't Ponzi scheme. [3 minutes read]

If you use the CLI Wallet and run your own node you can make posts directly to the blockchain without using Steemit. You can also go to steemd.com as a separate portal, though it's less suited for casual users and expects you to use the CLI for posting and voting. @xeroc has some tools (https://steemit.com/piston/@xeroc/piston-web-first-open-source-steem-gui---searching-for-alpha-testers) for direct interaction with the chain bypassing Steemit also.

I don't understand very well what you are meaning.
What you are saying is that steemit is open source?
Thank you for your information.

Steemit is a frontend and currently not open source (will change soon)
The database (where the posts are) is a blockchain and that blockchain is driven by Steem, which is open source

Thanks @xeroc . Is it official that the Steemit site will be made open source, or do you have any more details on that?
