Good comment @staticinstance! That part of Steemit is almost too transparent as I had actually done that very thing for the last month (upvote) but until I exchanged some SBD for Steem it never dawned on me I was actually involved in blockchain crypto exchanges...weird, I know. I knew my posts were on the blockchain. Anyhow, Steem is really easy and user friendly that is for sure, and I have met a lot of great people here who are doing amazing things, and I am even getting paid a little!
