Steem Stats Animated Video Infographic
I created this animated video infographic comparing STEEM and it's stats with cryptocurrency market leaders Bitcoin and Ethereum for the @sndbox Infographic Contest.
I've been creating animated videos to promote our favorite cryptocurrency for a while now, but this contest allowed me to look at it from a different perspective and to make a video targeted at a very different crowd. While the target audience of some of my previous efforts might have been regular people hooked on Facebook or Instagram, sports or beer fans, or just my friends, this one is aimed at people who know what crypto is but who might be interested to learn a bit more about the STEEM blockchain. Here, the main selling points are not the earnings you could get from blogging, but how brilliant, competitive and forward-facing the underlying technology really is.
I hope you enjoy this one and I'll be happy to hear any type of feedback.

Well done. Succinct, but with plenty of meaningful detail. Focusing on the STEEM blockchain and what it can do while hinting at the Social Media aspect is the best combination. If people are interested about the latter, they can inquire, and hopefully get straight answers about Steemit, what it is, what it does, and what it doesn't do.
Thank you for your feedback. If I have to be perfectly honest, there is no way I would ever be able to strike the balance you are talking about without the way @sndbox directed the contest. It's more of a point of view of someone that's been involved in cryptocurrencies before, while for me, STEEM has been the first direct encounter with that. This point of view does not come naturally to me at all.
Well, me, too.
Steemit is my introduction to both STEEM and crypto. I understand creating, being paid for your efforts, and a desire to have your stuff actually reach an interested party. I also understand a desire for a better world, and identify with as much decentralization of everything as is possible.
The underlying technology and how you can create currency out of thin air still alludes, and maybe it always will. But then, fiat, or at least USD, has been doing the same thing for decades, if not longer, so why not a thing called a blockchain cranking blocks and fostering blogging and the building of apps?!
The underlying technology is fascinating, but the fact that it "creates" currency is one of the more mundane aspects of it. It creates currency just by incrementing numbers associated with an account - just like the banks do it when giving out loans. The fascinating part is that our aggregated agreement that it indeed has some value is what really gives it value. Value always works that way as it is an "artificial" concept - things only have value if enough people agree and accept that they have value and this is true for all kinds of things including fiat money, virtual currency, political power, gold, silver, diamonds, art or advertising space on a website. There are reasons people agree that certain things have value, but still, value is never an a truly intrinsic property of anything.
So blockchain technologies just allow us to deal in value in brand new ways, but what gives both bitcoin and steem value is not the underlying blockchain, but the people who are willing to trade fiat or other cryptocurrencies on order for the value parameter associate with their blockchain account to be incremented.
What's really fascinating about this technology I think is the crypto blockchain part that allows it to be secure while still being open, transparent and decentralized.
Nice Post Dear Steemian.
Posting the same comment over and over, especially asking for upvotes in return (even if you call them love) is something me and many others on this platform consider comment spam. Please, be advised to stop this behavior because it's very likely for it to lead to flags which will destroy the reputation of your account early on.
Also, even if I wanted to go to your blog and give you an upvote, all your content is copied (and having a link to the source doesn't make it less of a copy). You are not going to succeed here this way.
sure ,,, right now i am just exploring what steemit is and how its working. so my messages would be a test on how many comments we can do, how many posts can be made, how upvoting is working ... still trying to figure out the white paper for steemit .. so .. my apologies for giving you a negative feeling of my activities on steemit ... and all the content is the news which i read on cryptocurrencies .
and definitely not here to make huge returns or succeed as a blogger generating daily revenues. what ever i would be earning here anyways will be transferred to " TheVenusProject". I am interested in the new tech and exploring in my way ...My interest is bringing agriculture under blockchain. working towards it ... So good day and all the best with your posts mate ... sayonara .
I'm glad that you are interested in the steem bockchain and platform. As you can see, I did not flag your comments or posts but only warned you that this type of activity is frowned upon here so you can correct it before your accounts starts losing reputation and rewards.
sure brother .. tq ...
thank you, i really enjoy it
Please what software did you use to make this? Or any direction you can point me, would love to do this too... Also into graphics
