steemit — Hive

Do you blog? Write articles or essays? Poetry? Journalism? Today there are a plethora of outlets on the internet to get your voice heard, many of which will even pay its freelance writers. Steemit takes the concept of getting paid to write a step further by decentralizing and democratizing the process using blockchain technology and its own internal digital currency, called Steem. Since its official beta launch a few weeks ago, Steemit has grown in community size and content, and the value of one Steem has risen to just over $4, giving all Steem an aggregate mark cap of over $350 million - which can be used to donate to Steemit's content providers as reward for a job well done.
