After stubbornly refusing to pay attention to steemit I'm now interested.
Hello I'm Jonnybitcoin,
I'm a big Bitshares fan and was sad when Bytemaster(Dan L) said he was going to focus on this new project called steemit. I thought he didn't explain it very well on the beyond bitcoin hangouts, all he had to say was "It's reddit with money instead of points."
I'm mostly doing this post to see what making a post does and actually try and learn the difference between steem power, steem and steam dollars.
So far it seems like mining using interesting words instead of ASICs.
All i've done so far is upvote posts I like and it's given me $3 in steem power.
It does seem to good to be true for me at the moment but so did bitcoin in 2011.
I can see how addictive it could be.
Another thing I've noticed is how nice, polite and positive people are on steemit which I guess is due to the incentives for writing nicely.
It's really tough to resist! Glad to see you here @jonnybitcoin :-)
This is crazy. $250 in 40mins, I can see why people like steem so much now.
You'll probably make a lot more if you do an "introduce yourself" post ;-)
Welcome! Any proof that you're the one?
Halleluia!!!
Best news today !!!
PS I am waiting now for tonyK
jonnysteem!
have my upvotes!!
:)
:'D
Steemit is great! Well if you've been up-voting you are doing it right, that 3$ in steem power is what you get to start off. I joined about 2 weeks ago and haven't put the effort into making blogs that I should have, and my payout was still decent.
I highly recommend making an introductory post about yourself including a picture and about as much as you wrote in this post if not more, and its been a while since I've seen an introduction worth less then $200 if you put the work in and its not 6 words.
Happy steeming :)

Glad you finally made it over. I'm sure you'll see some familiar names. ;)
Great to see you here! =)
Hello Jonny! Welcome on board!
