Many people have been asking me about Steemit and being a newbie I thought the easiest thing to do is to tell them what it is not, and then what it is, based on my reading and interactions in the last 2 weeks.
So this is a simple introduction to what I have gathered from reading the Steemit 44-page white paper 4 times. It took 4 times to really sink in and it is a little complex but brilliant at the same time. For non-technical people. it may be a bit challenging.
So I have simplified the core idea and debunked the myths that often get mentioned.
I hope you can use this information to explain to your friends exactly what Steemit is in a few simple sentences without getting into the nitty-gritty of the blockchain etc.
welcome to steemit and more success. Great video
Thanks for tutorial, and please do more. I followed you fine, with your British accent. We yanks say Ass, didn't catch what you call it. Maybe if you spelled it for me/us. I'll keep my eye on your blog and may learn a thing or two
Haha he said Ass lol toilet humor now I know who I'm talking too.
We Brits say Arse it should sound like Farce with the emphasis on the ars lol
Thanks for great comment.
Is arse a word in your English dictionary? Our dictionary has ass with 2 meanings, anyway when we have a one world government we'll all be speaking french.
Of course. It's in the vernacular.
Noun: A persons buttocks or anus.
Verb: Act stupidly = to arse about.
Bon nuit lol
YOU SAY BANANAS, I say Bananas.
Oh good you read the white paper 4 times. I think I read it 2 times. I kind of understand it. I better read it a couple more times. Thanks for your information.
It gets clearer by the third reading and crystal clear on the forth lol.
It really is a fascinating read but I had to have complete peace and quiet to finally 'get it' lol
I just turned everything off and focused for a couple if hours.
Well worth the read. Thanks David.
The nice thing on Steemit is I can help, gift or upvote you, which rewards you but costs me nothing!! IOW you dont need tips that cost the other person.
Thanks exactly it. People need to know that upvoting good posts and comments is the right thing to do and actually benefits both parties.
I hate my hearing. My computer isn't loud enough for me to hear and understand what you're saying. Believe me, when we visited Scotland... My husband made fun of me because... I COULDN'T UNDERSTAND ENGLISH. Hahaha. In any case, know that I watched and I kind of got like 2% and I apologize and the problem is mine. :( Do they have a transcribing sort of service??
EDIT TO ADD. OH YES THEY HAVE CLOSED CAPTIONS, I FORGOT! :D
Haha I was just about to say that I slaved over those closed captions for hours today but you figured it out yippe! Lol
Is that really how that works? You have to do it yourself?!
Yep if you leave YouTube to do it. It chucks out gibberish lol
Yeah, youtube can't make out Canadian accents, to weird, lol!
A convincing video for people to check out steemit. Straight ahead, informative and humorous too. Good job @molometer.
Thanks Bilpob almost everybody who looks into joining steemit comes across these two myths somewhere in the web. I thought it a good idea to get the facts out there as well. I've posted all over the web so hopefully it will counter the negative nellies lol Thanks for the warm comments.
You are welcome @molometer. Myth busting is a good thing.
ASS! EEEEEYAAAHHHH Hahah You got me good with that one. Especially you laughing at yourself. Got me LOLing! Promise!
ALSO. If you're interested, I'd love for you to join me here. I blogged about this little community a few days ago. And I would love to see you there. The join link is in the bottom of my post.
That's a great Ass don't ya think. So cute and so tiny little thing?...wait you didn't think I was talking about the other one? haha. Glad it gave you the giggles. ;)
It was quite adorable! Hahah
Thanks for the invite. I'll check it out.
Hope you know I wasn't trying to advertise and would really like you to join!
Thanks for that. I will take a gander over there.
Good job thanks - I am following for more of these cool videos. I waded in at the deep end myself but seem to be making slow progress at least - and it is fun - have a great steemy day @molometer ( great name)
Thanks Sallybeth, glad you found it helpful. There is a lot of ill informed people on the web lol
welcome to steemit
Thanks
Molometer, bravo, bravo, bravo! I really enjoyed your video post and thought you did an exceptional job of explaining Steemit. It will be very helpful to people who want to learn about the Steemit program, the pitfalls, the myths, etc. I have to confess, I never read the paper work.....I usually have my daughter do it and then explain it to me. If I were to read it, it would probably take me 25 times to comprehend. I am so glad that you found Steemit. It has been a pleasure reading your posts!
It's a great place to be. Wonderful positive people with a vision. I'm glad you enjoyed the video. It was fun to make. I couldn't stop laughing about the little ass lol.
Thanks for this! Nicely done! Resteeming.
So maybe you can explain to how I should be managing my 'finances''. Should I be buying power, and if so, how?
I couldn't possibly advise you on your finances. I'm not qualified to do that. It's a thing you have to figure out what works best for you. Or hire an accountant maybe?
Ha! I just meant how to buy steem power or what ever I need to be doing!
Thanks Melinda for the resteem. I'll give your comment a boost with an upvote.
Enjoyed the explanations! It was nice to put a face with the chats. Your true sense of humor comes through even in the comments you write. ... I'm trying to get caught up ... but ... It's time for bed again. I'm still trying to get that one thing right! lol
You and me both. I've spent the best part of two days catching up on comments and replies. I'm sure we will get into shape soon lol
One can dream. I'm actually moving toward the bed at 8:59 pm! Truthfully, I'm hoping the sleepy feeling will get the idea and arrive quickly.
