Steemit is a revolutionary new blockchain-based media platform. In an age of monolithic tech giants demonetizing content and soft censorship on social media, Steemit seeks to present an alternative: A decentralized, censorship-resistant platform with its own cryptocurrency. We're excited to be a part of the experiment.
And what an alternative it is! Steemit runs completely on the blockchain and is (in theory) highly censorship-resistant. The tokenized currency of the platform, Steem, allows both content creators and readers to earn passive income by voting for content they like. The more popular the content, the more Steem the creator and readers earn! A novel concept in the "AdPocalypse" era.
Are you on Steemit or interested in trying this 100% free, blockchain-based platform? Then subscribe to CryptoHero on Steemit and start earning! You'll get a bit of free Steem just for signing up.
While Steemit is a relatively young cryptocurrency and platform (it was launched in the Summer of 2016), it's growing all the time. Even more exciting than its growth are the revolutionary new features its users are creating, like D-Tube, a blockchain-based alternative to YouTube. While Steemit certainly has its faults, it's one of the most exciting developments in the blockchain space since bitcoin itself.
