RE: 2 Million Steemit Accounts by Dec 2018
Steem definitely has so much power! It can be used for some many other things aside from just a blogging platform. Arent't there other platforms using steem too? I'm also loving this new UI format. Improvements little by little.
There's the steem blockchain and then a bunch of different ways to access it. You've probably using steemit.com there's also busy.org, zappl, dtube, dsound, dMania to name a few. Some of those different websites cater to slightly different content for different communities. But, all backed by the Steem blockchain.
Another thing steem can do is it has a zero fees wallet. Yep. Zero fees and transactions happen in a few seconds.
Hello & Cheers!! I'm a content detection and information bot. You are receiving this reply because a short link or links have been detected in your post/comment. The purpose of this message is to inform your readers and yourself about the use of and dangers of short links.
To the readers of the post: Short links are provided by url shortening services. The short links they provide can be useful in some cases. Generally their use is benign. But as with all useful tools there are dangers. Short links can be used to hide all sorts of things. Quite frequently they are used to hide referral links for instance. While not dangerous this can be deceptive. They can also be used to hide dangerous links such as links to phishing sites, sites loaded with malware, scam sites, etc. You should always be extremely cautious before clicking on one. If you don't know and trust the poster don't click. Even if you do you should still be cautious and wary of any site you are sent to. It's always better to visit the site directly and not through a short link.
To the author of the post: While short links may be useful on some sites they are not needed on steemit. You can use markdown to format your links such as this link to steemit. It's as simple as
[steemit](https://steemit.com)Unlike short links this allows the reader to see where they are going by simply hovering over the link before they click on it.
