I am in love with Steemit! After watching the interview with Jeff Berwick where I got to listen to and absorb the concept that founders Ned Scott and Dan Larimer developed and reading all kinds of material about it, I am 100% on board and ignited about this platform and the concept that Steemit is based on.
This is a short video where I explain WHY Steemit is so powerful an idea, why you'd be smart to pay attention to the Anarchist voices on Steemit and to follow their content, and why this is rooted in basic truths of human psychology (which is what makes it so sound an idea).
I am already a huge fan of cryptocurrencies and Bitcoin, and this is a brilliant economic idea built on the blockchain technology.
I love you all, for whatever value you are adding here in the community, I sincerely mean that.
Much love from your friendly neighborhood Dragon!
WOW. Excellent description of steemit and comparison with other platforms. I wish I could save this but a bookmark will do for now.
I have a new go-to video to show to my curious friends now!
This is why I have left facebook years ago and after stumbling onto Steemit I have completely forgotten about all others, check my reddit account for instance: www.reddit.com/r/acidyo
What have those karma points gotten me so far? Nothing, I can't even get any attention to any of my posts from it, as you can see.
This is one of the biggest "killer app" revolutions with blockchain technology. Really exciting times ahead, will make sure to follow you now that the feature is finally live! :)
I like clipconverter.cc for saving youtube (and other?) content.
It's so true! This platform is amazing, the community is delightful, and the anarchist contingent is rapidly growing :-)
Thanks for your words Amanda!
A great summary of the intention and usefulness of Steemit, both for spreading ideas and for rewarding people who produce stuff that other people appreciate and find value in.
Wuuuhuu, the first thing I see, when realizing that "feed" is working now. Is more Amanda!
Yeah it was kind of haphazardly thrown together for this, cause I'm still a noob at editing but I did put hours of effort into it. I just am not a pro yet. :)
I liked the editing. The text made me look away from your forehead.
Do render in 30 fps though.
^ I see the "lag". - But it could just be because I'm tired.
You did very well. Much better than I could on a video. I have a habit of lowering my voice when videoed or speaking in front of people. Trust me, this video looks very well thought out and your enthusiasm is very evident because of your knowledge in these topics.
Your doing great love your work it's real
I'd fix the light, for future video's though.
Larkin Rose linked me to this video and I want to say "Thanks a thousand times to Larkin!" Great video!
Mr. Rose prefers Larken, me thinks. Can I get a quarter for that?
GREAT video @dragonanarchist, i love all your work that Ive seen. Such high quality
Did anyone else tear up when she said "... because THIS is what is going to free the world."? Solid video @dragonanarchist you are going to quickly become one of the top 10 representatives for Steemit.
We are building a culture here.
Thus far, I am truly enjoying this platform. I've not seen anything remotely close to what Steemit has to offer. I especially value the fact that the platform was founded and created by fellow anarchist. Here is a place where we can share ideas, create original content and genuinely be compensated for our efforts. I'm glad the place is here for those who are interested, and I am surely suggesting to others to join in and create!
Love it. I love that Anarchism is getting looked at the way it should be, in a positive light. You are 100% right in what your're saying. Thanks Mana Wahine (Strong woman)
I'm actually sitting here buzzing out right now this his been my exact self talk for the last few years - everything you're saying
Great video, great explanation.
Keep up the great work, Amanda!
Now that the "feed" is working, it'll be easier to find your stuff. Follow me, if you'd like. I've got big plans for this place. And keep up the great work!
I love the presentation, it highlights some of the points I have been making about why we should be upvoting worthwhile content.
For the Anarchists, who will take part in the Revival...

so very appropriate ; )
Quality over quantity and this my fellow human beings is quality content excellent video DA something outside the realm of gov run social media sites that stores up everyone's tweets or posts on FB closes their channels because they go against the status quo what a breath of fresh air exciting site steemit people getting compensated vice versa cool .
@dragonanarchist I've just heard of steemit last night this is the first post I've read, the first video I've watch, and my very first comment. I just want that everything that you just said really hit home with me and resonated with me in a way that I find difficult to describe. This is is exactly what I've been looking for, i suppose it's time to start saving the world
Very thorough explanation of Steemit's mission. I think a lot of people were just so eager to get on it, myself included, that everyone got discouraged when they didn't immediately "strike it steem rich". To call it a scam, is obviously a bit presumptuous and I think if everyone made $15,000 the first day, that argument would have been valid. Value-based platforms are the best platforms. The producers get rewarded and that's the way it should be. Thanks Amanda!
Very good! Glad to have you on board. Shot you an up-vote. Check out my newest article? https://steemit.com/anarchism/@shaneradliff/libertarian-role-modeling-how-to-outgrow-the-state
Happy to have found you. Was linked from another post and love your explanation. Look forward to more and welcome to steemit as well.
Amanda. Im jumping in because of you. Thank you.
I'm making it my goal to make enough on Steemit to be able to fully pay for a trip to Anarchapulco 2017. Sounds like it will not only be fun, but I will learn quite a bit.
Loving all the content on this extraordinary platform; thanks for sharing!!
Anarchy
Yep. I have no following. My posts make cents. Yet I am so excited about the potentials of it. :D
Great work as always Amanda!
It would be nice of you to include the steemit handles of Jeff and Larken, and others that you mention in your material, that has a steemit account.
(Trying to find Jeff atm)
Great stuff Amanda keep up the great work.

Hey everyone, would you take a look at my post and tell me what you think?

Good explanation! Steemit users are sharing great content and stuff with the community and everyone get paid and get valueed for their activity and quality of their content. Great content! Thank you for sharing!
No more censorship, let's free Earth from it's schackles!
Fecesbook, your days are pretty much numbered!
Thank you for your explanation.
I didn't get in on Bitcoin before it took off and I'm definitely kicking myself now. Won't that mistake with Steemit, especially since the anarchist community is thriving on here.
The simplicity is what I like. People who provide valuable content, receive value from others that appreciate their work.
The anarchist element is also an attraction, a true freedom of speech and a currency outside of the control of governments, powered purely by the people's passion and the value this gives it. A VERY powerful thing!
Good job, Amanda. Thank you for all your hard work trying to abolish the dangerous belief in authority. You are awesome! Upvoted and following.
Okay, I'm willing to give this a try. In fact, I've already made my first post, which you can find under my username.
After watching your video, and seeing how positive Larken Rose is about Steemit, I am genuinely excited and inspired. I look forward to sharing something of value here - we have needed a platform like this forever... Let's go, fellow dissidents and creative souls!
awesome! very inspiring!
Awesomeness. After looking into it and seeing your vid, I really like the concept! Thanks!
Very informative
This video pretty much sold me on it. 7 hours in, zero followers, but already one penny richer but more than I ever made on Facebook. Ha ha. Follow me down the rabbit hole and upvote. =)
