Ned said that steemit's visión is to give content creators an avenue to make money online without needing to advertise, this Steemit’s peer-to-peer social economy, is open to anyone around the world. Users can earn Steem, use it as voting power, and exchange it for USD. But this technology has a lot of potential, It shows that rewarding writers for good content is possible in a way that we haven't seen before.
The Steemit platform may well be the first crypto-innovation that doesn't rely on the user's knowledge of digital finance. This "blog and earn" will attract a lot of users and especially those who don't have the knowledge of cryptocurrency.
Writers can make a living outside of the centralised paradigm. No need for agents, publishers, google adsense.. etc. You just need a login, a laptop and an internet connection
But you need to learn, good writers need to learn to think like miners. A good miner builds and optimises a mining rig and take a dispassionate view on where to deploy the rig. The most profitable coin gets the hash power.
So, be invest in your writing, be invested in your ability to create valuable content. Invest in your skills and you'll discover that Steemit is a disruptive platform. And welcome to the full real decentralization of the paradigm of writing
Steemit is empowering people in all kinds of ways, and at the same time stitching together the masses and crypto. Its worth the personal investment to help grow this much needed network
It is definitely an empowering platform. It is exciting to think about all of the possibilities that can, and will, unfold in the future. People are innovative creatures--they will find different ways to use this platform; ways that have not even been thought of yet. This platform doesn't just decentralize writing...it is also a step towards decentralizing banking, and even more importantly, currency. The future looks pretty amazing from where I'm sitting...and that's not to say that there is not much hard work ahead (there is)...but IJS...we got this.
Decentralizing banking and currency happened since bitcoin, the various way are on the altcoins.
Considering that fiat currency is still king, and central banks (not to mention the IMF and WB) are still alive and kicking, I would argue that decentralization is nowhere near complete... Bitcoin was the beginning, but we are not at the end of this journey by a long shot. Just because we have the means to accomplish our mission does not mean it has happened yet.
Interesting!
