Steemit sounds awesome..but overwhelming and complicated to understand, is it just me ?

Hello !

This is my first post, so hey everybody.

I must admit the concept of Steemit is simply awesome, so unique and I was very excited when I heard about it.

I have been reading some about Steem, Steem power, and Steem dollars, but to be completely honest, I'm still confused.

It's hard to figure it out, there are still so many question, and so much reading I must do, the learning curve is slow, at least to me, perhaps I'm a slow learner !

What is your experience with Steemit, how long have you been using it, and how long did it take for you to fully grasp how it works and how it's economy works ?

I know there are tons of guides out there, but I feel like there should be some quick start guide that lay down everything in a concise manner to help newbies like me to get started, rather than to hunt for guides and tutorials :), this is not a rant, just constructive criticism !

I just read a post about how important it is to have a very secure owner password, and there, I got overwhelmed with information again, and I'm now quite confused about what to do, is the main password generated when registering really not enough ?

Also the post seemed out of date (from 5 months ago) and I was not able to post a comment.

I would be curious what other people feel like.

Peace !
