Steemit just clicked for me and I'm so excited I had to record this podcast instead of going to sleep! It's going to very quickly introduce normal people to the world of bitcoin and cryptocurrency because they already understand social networking, and they're hopelessly addicted to it. They won't care about the philosophy behind Steemit, but they certainly will want to use it and make money if they can.
I, on the other hand, fucking LOVE the philosophy. All hail free speech!
Steemit is a place where @Nero cannot be censored.
It's a place where people will be rewarded for good content, regardless of how libertarian (or statist puke) they are.
Call me racist all you want, just don't censor me.
Finally, we have a technology for FREE SPEECH!
Please listen to my 7 minute podcast where I chat about some of my thoughts about bitcoin and Steemit and where they're going. Spoiler: I believe that they'll work together to introduce normal people to our beautiful and sexy world of crypto.

Bring it on! Let the revolution grow, expand, and invade....
And it's still in beta.
Steemit appears to be the Reddit Killer. I think that censor zone is about to take a hot because of Steemit. "If you post good stuff then you will get paid" is a great way to explain this site and thus get people into cryptos. Clearly a much easier explanation than what one have to use to describe Bitcoin. Steemit is the gateway and I predict many will end up at Bitcoin because of it. Free speech will eventually end up being tested here once a poster really takes it to the next level. It will be interesting to see what the limits are. Anyway nice post and podcast here is my latest: https://steemit.com/steemit/@bitcoinmeister/video-from-january-where-i-recommend-that-twitter-incorporate-a-cryptocurrency-system-into-their-platform-and-where-i-describe
Thanks Meister! I know you from youtube :)
I would love to hear more about steemit. How much control do moderators have over content? How does Steem work compared to bitcoin? That sort of stuff.
I was pretty sure you were that woodcock. I know that content can be erased from this site, BUT supposedly it is always on the blockchain so another site could allow it to be viewed at that point. There are so many questions out there about Steemit, they really need a FAQ.
Hey Adam, quick question. I have 6 confirmations on my bitcoin transaction to get steem through this website. How long does it take to show up in my steem wallet? It's only $11 worth, but I hope I didn't mess something up.
Edit: Lol, it showed up right after I typed this...
Problem solved!
Cool. Why did you want Steem? I assume you want to power up or just speculate on the currency? Whatever Steem power I have I get from posting/liking. I use Steem dollars on buying Bitcoin. People here might think that is conservative or even lame, I think it is a sound financial crypto strategy. By the way this blog article of yours made my top Steemit links of the day today: https://steemit.com/steemit/@bitcoinmeister/my-daily-list-of-must-view-steemit-quality-original-content-7-14-2016

Since it is still in beta, we don't really know what it might have. So I've posted stories a couple of times asking about desired features like more filtering control of tags (similar to reddit) and things like that.
I don't know much about Steemit yet. Can't the private message feature be added? After all, this is just the beta version.
BTW, I just sent 0.017btc to trade for Steem using the sidebar on the right. How long should it take for me to get the steem?
Super noob here.
Hello :)
What we need is a 2nd layer on top of Steemit for private messages.
I'm being half-facetious, but I think we'll figure something out. The social network Minds had an encrypted chat function. Is it possible to add to the base layer of Steemit?
