If you've ever wondered how a post looks inside the Steem blockchain, below is an image taken from a text editor, after opening the blockchain file and searching for a particular post.

You will notice that despite some "garbage" (these are binary information for non-text-storage purposes), the text of a post is very clear and readable.

I've used an older short post of mine as an example: https://steemit.com/steemit/@alexgr/steemit-remind-us-that-there-is-more-content-out-there-

The resulting image, from the text of the blockchain (located around the 338 million bytes mark - we are currently around 2 billion bytes), is the following:

Pretty neat, huh? :)
