In a nutshell: If we play monopoly, its just a bunch of worthless paper. But if you step on my hotel and you cannot pay me, let's suppose I tell you, ok give me an apple and we are even. So in the next round you can tell me that you earned some money and that you want your apple back and you will give me some money for it. Now this is not worthless paper anymore, we have given it some value and we can trade for it. Same thing is with Crypto, only the technology of creating is different.
Ok so im trying to follow along here and i understand most of it. One question that does come to mind however is what can the apple represent. does it have one purpose or many, or am i possibly just over thinking the whole apple thing.
Point of the whole thing is..if everyone would leave Steemit this moment, then the value of the Steem goes to zero. We give steem its value.
Ok gotcha so we all need to stick around then. Thank you for your help I appreciate it 😊
Cheers!
