Ok @trafalgar (crack knuckles), lets do this:
The project was created when visionary founders Ned Scott and Dan Larimer discovered a way to bring blockchain to the masses when they realized the online world was missing the one thing everyone wanted:
a place where all minds will blog; from those who think they should be in TedTalk but were never invited, to small minded lurkers who thinks reply=clickbait; from those innocently ignorant to those dementedly dirty minded af (God bless you all!), all collectively scratching their proverbial balls and farting liberally away safe in the belief no one else is looking (or sniffing).....while steemit clandestinely records all right handed activities due to the visionary blockchain video security subversion feeds.
Steem also boasts notable technical achievements including a lightning fast delegated proof-of-stake blockchain system which, to date, has never been successfully hacked except
for that continual hacking of the steem minnow's mind, where the masses joining are slowly train by carrots of steem trickling down the collective asses of great whales like @trafalgar and the likes. Not knowing that by the time they become whales themselves it would be second natures to jerk off (to the right of course) the great circle of whales gleefully and joyfully as they dance in the great ecosystem of steeming and climax synchronously in the solar event called steemfest.
The platform itself is also not without its controversy.
Not sure what that means, everyone is perfectly happy here. Especially newbies, we just love getting lost, clicking upvote on shit blog (not knowing yet @trafalgar exist) and then think....what tf happened to my rep? It's the foolproof system balance from creating anticipation by delaying signup from upto 1-7 days (Making us lament...why haven't Steemit called me back? He/She asked me for my number damn it!), To the beautiful realization that 'Oh! I just paid myself $0.01 on a self-vote', resulting in an amazing dopamin hit of....'Yessss!' Then 8 hours and only 20x$0.01 to show for later, you realize you just surf through the night and it's 7am and you're late for work....then 1 week later, it dawns upon said new user, "I'm going to get fired...I better learn this blogging shit to pay my bills!"
Hope you enjoy reading this as much as I had fun writing it.....btw. I'm that dirty m af minnow aspiring to be a right handed whale in this story.
haha well hope you succeed on here :)
