@ecurrencyhodler I got into it through work actually! A colleague of mine introduced it to me! :) I still feel like I don't have a full understanding of how it all works but I am interested to see how Steemit will work out for me in the long run. I never posted my blog content on a shared community platform like this one before so I'm a little nervous. Did you use to write a blog before you started Steemit?
Haha that's awesome @whimsicalfawn. The more we get regular people to hear about crypto the bigger the market will become. There is a whole world for you to get involved with in regards to other coins like bitcoin, litecoin, and ethereum. I got into it myself a few years ago because a friend told me about it. :) I don't have a blog but I do write posts on reddit, here, and twitter. Currently I try to break down the really technical stuff in laymen's terms so that it's easy to understand. Let me know if you have any questions.
Btw I saw your blog and it looks really sleek. Are you on twitter?
Lastly for Steemit, the upvotes count like $$. The more upvotes a post gets, the more $$ they get. Also it's like a popularity/reputation thing as well. The more popularity/rep you get (called steempower) the more $$ your upvotes and posts count. And it's good to resteem/upvote posts because you also get a portion of the steempower/steemdollars that each post gets. So if a post get's like $100, the author gets $50 and every upvote/commenter gets a fraction of the rest of the $50.
Hope that helped!
Thank you so much @ecurrencyhodler for this! It was super helpful! I feel like I have a better understanding of how the upvotes work. And thank you for checking out my blog! I just followed you on twitter so feel free to follow back if you want to (no pressure)! I also followed you on Steemit so I look forward to staying in touch with you going forward! :)
Sweet. Onwards and Upwards. :)
