Why indeed?

On a different note, now lets see the reasons for me joining this network in the first place. I looked into the mechanisms which it operates on, and it appears to be using gamification. I personally find it a very engaging innovative mechanism to employ interactivity, involvement, reward system etc, and even included a piece on gamification in my bachelors diploma project on the topic of digital culture. All in all its fascinating to me and so this platform caught my interest when I noticed that it employs similar tools. Though, this is the first time I partake in a community where the reward system is monetary in nature, and so given the nature of steem and other forms of currency here, I had my doubts as to whether I needed to join. Being a bit familiar with stock exchange market, at least theoretically, when it comes to bitcoin and similar virtual money I was curious as to what its backed by, what the course is tied to, how it converts etc. Hopefully, I will be able to figure out how to orient in this system eventually and maybe I could start earning something. We`ll see, for now I just hope to find tons of informative and entertaining content here. See you later
