How To Earn Free Cryptocurrency By Blogging

Here's the most recent podcast that we did about SteemIt over on The Hustle & Flowchart Podcast. This is a repost of the shownotes from our main blog.

A cryptocurrency (or crypto currency) is a digital asset designed to work as a medium of exchange using cryptography to secure the transactions, to control the creation of additional units, and to verify the transfer of assets.

Cryptocurrencies make it easier to transfer funds between two parties in a transaction; these transfers are facilitated through the use of public and private keys for security purposes. These fund transfers are done with minimal processing fees, allowing users to avoid the steep fees charged by most banks and financial institutions for wire transfers.

On today’s show, Matt and Joe will be riding solo or is it in tandem? There is no guest on this episode. They will discuss Matt’s experiments with blockchain, trading, and how to earn some cryptocurrency using the blogging platform steemit.
