What is and how does the new Steemit social network work?

This publication is addressed to all those people who, like me, feel overwhelmed and confused about how the Steemit network works. The intention is that at the end of the reading of this "post" we will be able to incorporate with a good understanding of the operation of this revolutionary way of conceiving social networks and generating income on the internet.
Steemit can be very confusing even for a person like me who for several years is dedicated to the mining of criptomonedas; And is that its conception and form of operation, although extremely simple, is really revolutionary.
Steemit is an innovative mix between three fundamental pillars of the internet today:

Social networks
The generation of income working on the internet and,
The new technological revolution of the criptomonedas that use the chain of blocks or "blockchain".
In order to grasp what Steemit is and how it works you must have at least very basic notions of each of these pillars. Therefore, I will highlight below the most important aspects that we have to be clear about each of these pillars. Above all, I will try to explain in more detail, in a clear and concise way with regard to the cryptones, which in the end are the means used to monetize our work in this social network and is precisely what people are not usually familiar with .

The revolutionary proposal of Steemit.
As I mentioned at the beginning of this post, Steemit is a mix of a social network with an internet revenue generation system that has created its own cryptonnet to pay for the work of all participants within that community. The key question is: Will it work?
Social networks have proven to be extremely successful in generating wealth and knowledge; The production of high quality or at least high consumption content has proven to be an effective means of achieving economic growth and knowledge generation; The criptomonedas that have broken into the financial world in the last five years, especially the chain of blocks that soon the big banks will end up adopting, have been very successful and have generated a system of exchange and preservation of monetary value. Therefore, it is logical to think that if all these systems are successfully integrated, they should generate a whole new way of conceiving the exchange of information, work and wealth on the internet. That's Steemit's big bet.
Steemit is definitely something new in the world of social networking, internet revenue generation and the application of new emerging technologies.
Personally, this experiment called Steemit I consider it the first prototype in operation that indicates at least one of the possible paths for the future of a true web 3.0.

Conclusions:
To join Steemit just register. Then you start to generate income, either because you write and generate knowledge, or because you like to read and review the articles that interest you and give a simple vote. In both cases you will earn money (criptomonedas), when people give you a vote because you think your publication is very good, or when you give a vote when evaluating a publication.
All this experiment will only result if the real communities begin to be created around topics and specialized topics of any nature, there must be a community around, that I, for example, specialized methods of wedding makeup, ants, desserts, Wigs, semiconductors, computers, etc. Above all, the most important thing is that the participating members of those communities begin to vote consciously for articles and publications that generate knowledge and truly strengthen the community.
