What is Steem? and What is Steemit?

Steem is a cryptocurrency similar to Bitcoin, Ethereum, and hundreds of others which is made and managed by users online instead of banks and governments.

What is Steemit? Steemit is the social media platform powered by Steem where it literally pays to upvote posts, submit a story, and write a comment!

As bloggers, artists, video producers, musicians, social media enthusiasts, and entrepreneurs we have the opportunity of a lifetime today to be one of the first users on Steemit which may become so popular that it will be the top network of choice instead of Facebook or Instagram or Snapchat or Twitter or any other website not giving us anything in return for our time and energy!

When we realize that our posts, comments, and shares are worth a lot of money AND we have the opportunity to actually get paid that income on Steemit, the choice is obvious to leave behind all other social networks and go where we are given the most back in exchange for our curation and creation on social media! We choose to post pictures on Steemit instead of Instagram because when our friends upvote them we make a little bit of cash or maybe a lot sometimes! We choose to invite our friends from Facebook to upvote our posts on Steemit and return the favor because we enjoy helping our friends get paid for creating what we love reading. We choose to post short updates as comments on Steemit instead of Twitter because we can often make $1 or more just for a comment!
