Chief's Open-Source Overviews | Steemit Part One

As this year comes to an end, out of all the platforms to spend your time, energy, and resources on why Steemit?
Steemit the social media platform created by @dan and @ned built upon the open-source STEEM blockchain and run by the community is at the forefront of what the future of social media looks like and we are apart of it.
So why Steemit? Part One
I love hearing this question because it serves as awesome opportunity to expose and teach new individuals, businesses, and organizations about this incredible platform.
Here are my top reasons for Why Steemit?

Steemit is the ultimate community building platform and allows for an awesome community building experience.
The ability to create, build, teach, and help communities in a blended online and off-line fashion is truly extraordinary.
You can create a Steemit post to the folowing comunity building activites (among many other things):
- bring awareness and create value (some of the foundations of a community),
- create a challenge or contest to reward & support community members, and
- create, foster, & reward an environment of interaction.
Sounds like a community-building platform to me.
Steemit is a place where you can create, foster, and allow communities to thrive in an environment which is centered on providing value, rewards, and perspectives.
What a time to be a live o weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

Steemit serves as a meeting place for the thought leaders, influencers, community activists, engineers, and users of cryptocurrencies and/or blockchain technology.
In a industry which is fragmented and with much information scattered throughout it having a meeting place like Steemit to seek and provide information is a gem. Just follow your favorite Steemians for up-to-date original crypto and blockchain information and news and you will find out information that is hard to find elsewhere.
Also, spending time and energy on a platform that uses cryptocurrencies as a foundation and as a reward system only naturally enhances and improves your understanding of cryptocurrency to where it becomes a "normal" ingrained part of your life.
Want to learn about something? Use it everyday and watch our your comprehension improves.
So you want to get into cryptocurrency?
Get on Steemit.
It provides the ability to learn by doing and the oportunity to find valuable and hard-to-find information about cryptocurrency so you can learn and make the best decision for yourself, your family & friends, and your future.
Seems like an an incredible reason to the question Why Steemit.

People are so focuses on "networking" that they forget deep, meaningful connections are the real gem. The ability to connect on a deeper spiritual level with other souls is one of the significant reasons to get on Steemit.
In this world filed with addictions because of the lack of connection in ones life, the ability to truly connect with other souls from across the globe is absolutely incredible.

So many souls on Steemit that like and appreciate a vast array of interests, subjects, and information, you are bound to find a cluster of like-minded souls to connect with.
And connect on a deeper, meaningful level. Real connections can be found anywhere on this globe. Steemit helps streamline this.
I have connected with so many souls on deep meaningful level it is truly extraordinary. These connections might not have been made without Steemit and how Steemit streamlines the ability to meet other souls that will be in your life journey.
The way Steemit makes the ability to connect with others and build meaningful relationships possible is one of the most important reasons in my perspective on why Steemit.
These three reasons are just some of the many reasons to the popular question Why Steemit? I hope this provides value and reiterate to Steemit veterans and newcomers how truly incredible and blessed we are to be on this platform.
Feel free to use this post to show your friends and family who ask you about Steemit.
More reasons to come in Part Two of Why Steemit so that we as a community can come together and provide awesome information to people not on Steemit yet.
Let's build and grow this amazing community together and inspire real, positive change across the globe. Our time is coming :)
Thank you for your time and attention. It means a lot to me.

This is an analysis on why someone should join Steemit which is an open-source project. I have used this format before and has gotten approval.
See this post for an example of an already approved post with this format: https://steemit.com/utopian-io/@chiefmappster/why-bitshares
Please reconsider thank you
Hi @chiefmappster, i have read your text quite a lot of times :) and i know what has been approved before.
We are raising the quality that we are seeing on Utopian little by little and this is simply not up to the rules. There is no original format in that, you are posting your thoughts. Don't get me wrong that post is not rubbish and is close to being approved but not quite there yet.
See Rule number one, see the example and think about it.
Kind regards
Jan
The changes you requested per our conversation on Discord have been made. Much appreciation for the guidance.
Lol all the rule number one shows is a post with different formatting options. It's not a blog post or an example of how you want it?
So what exactly do you want me to do to get approved?
You want me to create a custom header?
