How you represent Steemit to your friends and family?

Greeting everyone,

This is my first participation in a contest organised by The Steemit Nursery Community. I know i am just getting started. And, I am starting to share about steemit to my friends and family to the best of my understanding.

Firstly, One of the topics about steemit that i would present to my family and friends would be Proof-of-Brain concept(POB). Because, i believe this one is the unique feature of it. During my learning process, it is something that fascinated me to dive into the steemit ecosystem. Besides, i would explain them how does the POB work in steemit. Putting your thoughts or imagination as a content in steemit must comply with POB. This is one of the transactions will take place in the publicly accessible steem blockchain operated by witnesses and rewards you with STEEM depending on the quality of your content. However, sometimes if you want to include some great ideas of other individuals in your content, you must abide by rule of CITATION. i.e. giving credit to the respective person or source.

Always remember, there is no place for PLAGIARISM in the steemit. Also, if you happen to find any plagiarism in any contents, you are advised to report it. In return, you will be awarded for doing so. As an steemian, it has to start with you and me. This is the only way to prevent it from happening.

Secondly, i would request them to take notice on the Consensus Mechanism process of steem platform which is Delegated proof-of-stake. It means the system gives you more votes, if you have more steem. However, it doesnot necesserily mean you to go for delegation. Even if you stick with the POB concept, being patience and actively engaged in doing your part within the ecosystem, sooner or later, your involvement will be paid off.

Moreover, we cannot deny the fact that delegation can help you make passive income, regardless to creating contents and upvoting. Still, delegation gives a direct impact to those delegated users who create the original contents and in the curation.

Thirdly, i would ask them to look on 3 native tokens of steem blockchain:

• STEEM
• STEEM POWER
• SBD(Tradable Steem Dollar pegged to $1 USD)

A fast and fee-less token called STEEM, through delegation process, gets converted in to steem power. Steem power is a multi-fuctional token:

1. Having more steem power means more influence on voting and curation.
2. Possessing steem power helps you delegate it or loan to others(delegated and leased from others willnot be counted).
3. Delegated steem power is solely controlled by you. Means you can un-delegate and take back anytime you want with no permission.

Last but not the least, i would suggest them to view on COMMUNITY. You literally can build an empire of your own interests if you have better knowlegde and understanding of the steemit and the steem chain. Building it by yourself alone could be hard and time-consuming, so you can make a group of like-minded friends to run the community actively. So that, it attracts the many users of similar interest. In contrary, It is worthless to open a community and not engaging ourselves to thrive the community that helps to reward every user involved.
