Founded July 2016, Steemit is a blockchain-based blogging and social media website, which rewards its users with the cryptocurrency STEEM for publishing and curating content, and is owned by Steemit Inc.,
An excerpt from their About Us page and Vision Statement:
Our vision is that steemit.com is a vibrant communities web app, expanding the boundaries of community coordination and online discussion by incorporating cryptocurrency as incentives.
Steemit is powered by STEEM coin HOW DOES IT WORK?
Similar to Presearch rewarding searches with PRE tokens, users of Steemit can also earn (or purchase) digital tokens.
Posting — Steemit users create posts on a variety of topics. Engaging posts can be ‘upvoted’ by community members. There are some slightly complicated algorithms in place, but upvoted posts can receive a portion of the Steemit ‘rewards pool’.
This article received 59 upvotes worth $71.53
Voting and curating — Upvoting a post (before it becomes popular) can also earn you rewards. Curation rewards will vary in the Steemit ecosystem.
Purchasing —Steemit users can purchase STEEM or Steem Dollar tokens directly through a Steemit wallet using bitcoin, Ether, or BitShares tokens. STEEM is also available through a number of other markets and exchanges some of which include, Binance, BlockTrades, and UpBit.
Vesting — Steemit users can also choose to ‘power-up’ their STEEM tokens to Steem Power and will earn a small number of new tokens for holding (think HODLing).
