This is a great post. i can't pretend to understand steemit very well yet as I'm a new user still getting to grips with the markdown guide..
I have had lots of help and advice from others but more than that i have been able to help people in other parts of the world, almost immediately, due to steem. Like i said, i don't understand the tech but i can feel its greatness!!
And a big indicator for me is the way that other social media have banned adverts for crypto. They are worried, and rightly so.
I was banned by over enthusiastic moderators for talking about steemit....They called it that crypto shit but it shows how deep this rot has gotten. Happily a few people saw what i wrote before it was taken down and i helped them link to steem. They said there was 2 week waiting time that shows the interest in my view.
People may inprove on steemit, I'm sure they will and there will be challengers to the model.But steem as a currency and steemit as a platform will survive and thrive.
We need to get the word out that people are missing out. Steemit could be their first experience of crypto and the people on here i have found will make it a positive one.
