Hi Statusiv,
Steemit is a social network on the blockchain.
When we post, upvote, and comment on Steemit,
we are mining the blockchain, therefore we are creating the money.
Hope this answers your question, and welcome to Steemit.
Feel free to ask me any more questions, thanks.
As much as I know, Steem Is PoW coin which require mining power to solve blocks, correct me If I'm wrong
