Completely new to this, but it seems sweet as heck
I have just gotten into Steem, after reading up on crypto currencies in general. This will in fact be the very first thing i post, so i can't say how it has changed my life (yet).
More quality, less crap
However, i do see this as an extremely interesting way of creating great content. The steem program seem to create incentive for actually taking the time to produce quality content, which i see as very valuable. We have enough sites with crap content, that mainly focuses on bringing in the sponsorships (which is often understandable, they have to live too).
This way, is however much more interesting.
Therefore i hope to both gain access to, and create some valuable information from/ for my fellow steem users :)
Sharing ideas
I actually wanted to start a blog about a pretty weird bachelors project, that i will soon be starting up.
I am going to be growing a fake leather like substitute, made from bacteria. It will be environmentally friendly, pretty cool, and most importantly, really really weird. I'll be working with Kombucha, a Chinese fermented tea, which develops a layer of cellulose during its fermentation process.
This layer of cellulose can be used in a multitude of different ways, which i'll be experimenting with, and sharing. The internet is meant for sharing ideas, and i hope mine will be worth sharing.
Somewhat weird
When i found Steem, i saw it as an excuse for writing down my thoughts in a nice way. If i could share some knowledge, no matter how weird, i see this as a great. And it will be weird, weird as heck, the cellulose layer, or the "scoby", most of all resembles an Alien booger. That is at least according to my imagination of how an alien booger would look like.
All in all, this seems like a fun place to be, and i look forward to partake in some interesting discussions :)
Merry Christmas people!
Also, an important note, i find that steem could be an important facebook challenger. Where'as facebook makes money without giving the users anything in return, this seems way more respectable towards the community, so thank you for that.
