Staring at my iPad. Don’t wanna sleep or better say I can’t sleep because the coffee was kicking on my system.

Listening to “I DON’T WANNA” by Secondhand Serenade on Spotify. I wanna write something about education or something about Mathematics. But my little tiny brain cells are broken and they seems like not in the mood of cooperating with me. I have been scribbling for hours.

My head is running wild again until I tried to search what is the meaning of STEEM

I first tried to find it in built-in dictionary but I actually can’t find anything except from URBAN DICTIONARY.

I actually got a definition of it in which it makes more sense.

STEEMING

verb. Present Participle of steem:

It is a word generally used to define a visual image that is almost perfectly described by the syntagm.

SYNTAGM

a linguistic unit consisting of a set of linguistic form (phonemes, words or phrases) that are in sequential relationship to one another.

I actually tried to find some old post or blogs about the definition of STEEM or why is it called steem but I can’t find any. Most of those blogs that I’ve read is all about the guidelines and how to use steem and what it is all about. But because of my curiosity or let just say that my brain is actually wondering why is it called STEEM IT for a reason and why do we keep on steeming.

We all know that STEEM IT is platform where we post our blogs either it is all about education, poetry, photography, or about health. This platforms paid us whenever we post online.

Because of my current curiosity I accidentally crossed a blog entitled:

“STEEM IT: New Social Media Platform Which Pays You To Post “ by Jacob J

A statement from CTO Dan Larimer says to CoinTelegraph:

“Steemit is a brand new way to recognize contributors online, especially those who join our community early and stay long term. New users will be given a portion of Steem when they sign up and those who initiate or improve the quality of discussions, through persuasiveness, clarity, grammar and formatting, will be upvoted faster and more appropriately rewarded.”

The statement actually collides from the definition that I gathered. So for me, they named it STEEM IT to reach out for something in a certain community in a linguistic form through a blockchain technology.

I wanna hear your point of views too ^^
