Tay'Tran Bananamon, like all teenagers everywhere, thinks he knows exactly how the world works...

So, I'm part of the Banana Collective, and we've got this new blog-like thing on this internet site called Steemit. Most of the grownup bananas don't even get how the internet works, much less how a new awesome platform like Steemit works. It's, like, super easy but they just don't get it.

So, like, Steemit is on this new technology called "block chain." It's the internet of the future, man! This stuff is so awesome! It's, like, every little bit of information that we write, and pictures that we put on here, and videos that everyone makes... it's all, like, pieces of information that are stored in little blocks. And all of the blocks are linked together in a chain. That's why it's called "block-chain." See?

Now, everything seems to need money to make people do stuff. Bananas aren't this way; bananas just hang out and enjoy themselves and share what they have to share. But people seem to be different. Money is important to them. So Steemit came up with, like, a money to use on Steemit. It's called "Steem." It's, like, a cryptocurrency. Which I don't have time to explain today, so I'll have to come back to make another post on crypto some other time.

Anyway, back to Steem, the sort of money of Steemit. Just like people can carry around paper money or coins or whatnot, Steem also comes in Steem Back Dollars or Steem Power. People (and bananas) can earn it, spend it, save it, give it to others, turn it into other money, buy stuff with it, fund projects with it. All kinds of cool stuff you can do with Steem.

Steemit, the website, is like a game, and the tokens you use to play the game is Steem. Just like all the other video games I play, I can get started, and I can earn or gather more power in the game that lets me do more awesome stuff. And I can sometimes buy more power in the game with money I earn in the real world mowing lawns or something. Except, as a banana, I don't mow lawns, and I don't have hard currency, which I already explained before.

That's pretty much how it all works. Steemit is a game, and games are meant to be fun. Maybe some of the peeps on Steemit could just, like, chill and enjoy hanging around in a bunch of people.

Gotta go!
