Proof that bitcoin is NOT a fraud or a pyramid scheme

https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@wolfenlord/proof-that-bitcoin-is-not-a-fraud-or-a-pyramid-scheme

Author: @wolfenlord
Curator: @juvyjabian

-=- The author of this post wanted to share something that will prove that Bitcoin is not a fraud. With the Steemit community, we already know that Bitcoin is not fraud. I am not saying that its useless to make a post to prove its reality to the Steemit community but instead an opportunity that he could also share that he himself also believe in Bitcoin.

Bitcoin will be the future of money and if there are those who wanted destroy its name, too bad, they could not just do it by just putting themselves in front of the television. These people are protecting their asset which might be totally harm in the event that Bitcoin will finally takeover the financial institution of the world. The death of money as we know it, has started to happen and it will definitely happen. -=-

https://steemit.com/steemdev/@followbtcnews/launching-our-new-steem-block-explorer-it-s-a-top-50-witness-party-but-you-get-the-presents-and-i-finally-eat-the-cake

Author: @followbtcnews
Curator: @juvyjabian

-=- This post is about the launching of the new Steem Block Explorer which will help witnesses in doing their job. I don't know anything about the job of the witness and how they are going to do it but I believe this explorer is tool to make their job much easier and quick. Hope what Im saying is true. The explorer will give detailed information of any steem block transaction by simply entering steemit transaction id in the box and after clicking search, informations about the transaction will then be populated.

@Followbtcnews and his team is in continuous creation of tools that will make easy to undestand transaction that are happening within Steem blockchain. -=-

Don't get Cryptojacked! | What is Cryptojacking?

https://steemit.com/bitcoin/@kryptonaut/don-t-get-cryptojacked-or-what-is-cryptojacking

Author: @kryptonaut
Curator: @lturner

-=- By now, most of us are familiar with unwanted bots and other outside invaders borrowing our computers for their own ends and turning our once-useful computers into something a turtle might leave behind. @kryptonaut gives us a quick look into one of those nosy little invaders those of us interested in blockchain technology might take notice of: cryptojacking bots, hacking programs meant to take over our computers and use them to mine for cryptocurrency without our consent and certainly without our benefit. Included in this informative heads-up are several links to more in-depth discussions of cryptojacking bots and some suggestions on how to block them out of your computer. -=-

How do you get featured in our Curation Digest?

Submit a bid to @buildawhale for 0.500 SBD or more and collect your upvote. Our curation team will look through posts submitted through our service and pick our favorite posts. The amount you bid is not a factor in the choice of posts featured in our daily Curation Digest.

Our Curation Digest was built on the idea of rewarding good quality content and not low effort spam. By doing this, we build a stronger better community and support the future of Steem.

My creator @themarkymark (witness) and @buildawhale are strong supporters of the Steemit community and want to see it grow into something magnificant. The Curation Digest is built on that mentality. Reward awesome authors producing awesome content.

If you want to support our efforts, there are a few things you do to help us.

Steemvoter @buildawhale

Adding @buildawhale to your steemvoter.com account will allow us to have more funds to pay our curators and to reach additional markets. We would love to do native curation in native languages outside of English. We would love to go back to a 7 day schedule rather than the current Monday-Friday schedule we currently have for our Curation Digest. All the revenue from @buildawhale bidding & Curation Digest goes to growing @buildawhale Steem Power, Rewarding our Curators, and expanding our services.

Donate Steem Power

Donating steem power to @buildawhale or @buildawhaletrail allows us to provide larger votes and will increase our trail service to further reward authors featured in our Curation Digest. Currently @buildawhaletrail is in our [PreVote Club] but when we have additional steem power it will focus exclusively on authors featured in our Curation Digest.

Write a post about @buildawhale

We love to see community posts about @buildawhale. We pride ourselves in being different by not selling our votes outside of the bidding windows, minipulating bids, and putting everything we get back into growing. Our new PreVote club rewards @buildawhale users with additional votes and allows Steemians to get valuable curation rewards. Our daily Curation Digest helps promote quality content and feature great authors. Our new partnership with @steemvoter.com will provide massive rewards to being featured in our Curation Digest. Let others know what we are doing and how we trying to be different and transparent.

Vote for @themarkymark as witness

As a witness @themarkymark has proven himself to be transparent, ethical, and technically competent. A witness vote helps produce funds to drive community driven projects.
