History of the birth of virtual currency Steem
The project was established in 2016 by Ned Scott and Dan Larimer, who created the BitShares. They founded Steemit Inc., which runs the Steemit website and funds the development of the electronic money platform. On March 15, 1977, Dan Larimer announced his resignation from the company.
Three major currencies of Steemit
- Steem
Steem is the basic unit of account on the blockchain Steem. All other units Steem dollars and Steem power get their value from the value of Steem. There is no need for Steem in its Cryptocurrency form, it should be used to purchase Steem dollars, Steem power or Bitcoin converters (see also: Bitcoin).
- Steem dollars
Steem dollars (SMD) is a unit used to reward users for posting and hosting content. Each Steem dollar represents Steem equivalent to US $ 1. Steem dollars (SMD) are created so that the user is not affected by the oscillation rate of Steem coin.
SMD is essentially a promise, that when you come to cash out, you will get a positive dollar with Steem of what you earn. The dollar earns interest at 10% per annum.
- Steem Power
Steem power (SP) is a contract signed by Steem and represents the amount of influence that an account has compared to the rest of the network. The more power Steem power accounts have, the higher their votes for posts or comments. Steem power also determines the weight of an account to vote for witnesses.
Accounts are created with a small amount of Steem stored as Steem Power. Content creators can choose 100% Steem power instead of 50% conventional currency and 50% Steem power. Users and investors can choose to turn liquid steels into Steem power, called Powering up.
Steem power can not be transferred or traded directly, but the account owner can choose to withdraw liquid Steem liquid on a weekly basis at a rate of 1/13 of the Steem Power of the account, called Powring Down. The account will be lost by Steem's rate of withdrawal.
