From there you can earn crypto by creating content, curating content, monetize the blockchain through development, selling your skills (like logo design) for crypto etc....
that's the punchline over there @exyle. on steemit you mine the crypto by writing good and original contents. I always like to say to newbies "you get to stay in touch with reality and still stand a chance to make some cool money, while enjoying what you do". this is an amazing way of contrasting the STEEM blockchain from every other @exyle
