reward model
One of the core principles of Steem is the idea that micropayments are inefficient. Even for a small tips of, say, $0.05, there is a conscious calculation that occurs as you weigh the option. This is a detriment to engagement.
Instead, Steem uses a steady stream of new tokens to reward content producers. Users do not have to think about how much to tip -- just what to tip. In addition, transactions are free on the Steem blockchain. This makes it very easy to participate by removing any cognitive load.
