What I like best is the opportunity for people to reinvent themselves.
There are so many people here with great ideas and amazing talent, that would find it difficult to establish themselves on preexisting/over saturated platforms.
On steemit, they have a clear slate and the real shit at making something of themselves.
Plus, it's simply awesome to be a pioneer in the social media revolution.
Edit: (realized it said steem, not steemit)
Well it really comes down to the ability to have feeless transactions in lightning time.
Steem was both my introduction to crypto and blockchain technology, which I've become completely obsessed with.
It's a great design architecturally, with the potential to have some truly incredible projects built on top of it. As more developers become aware of it's potential, it has the opportunity to become one of the top five blockchain available for development.
I love that I'm currently able to become an investor without spending money but by putting forth effort.
