Cryptovestor i do thank you for introducing me to Steemit.
I myself come from finance, so we have quite a few ways to blog or voice our opinions/ideas (seeking alpha/medium etc)
This is the only one literally based on its blockchain.
Its a working prototype....a working product with a bigger chance at mass adoption.
Plus you get financial incentive.
As long as you know how to post,you should do ok.
in regards to that here's my advice for the newer guys on here
-Look up how many times you vote on Steemd.com or Steemstats.com/# whateveryournicknameis
-Dont vote more than 12 times a day. (keep your voting over 80%)
it will take about 12-24hrs to recharge your voting power back to 100%
-Dont ask for upvotes (it's frowned upon)
-If you can invest in Steemit,buy steem & decide whether you rather use it for Steem Power or SBD.
-Enjoy the articles here...there are some very talented writers/content creators here. Do support your fellow posters by upvoting (dont just upvote yourself)
-It can be frustrating at times, but this is a new medium ...you need to get over its kinks & curves.
For those investing in Steem you can get it on Binance or Blocktrades.
Also...it seems to be decoupling itself from BTC's anchor so it is stabilizing itself (once the buying volume picks up on Binance)
It takes time to get over the learning curve,but i do believe this is a much better option than FaceBook/Twitter/Instagram.
(no ads,no selling of personal data ...more freedom)
This blockchain emphasizes the freedom to post what you want.
What you love to talk about,or want to read about.
Like all new technology it takes time to learn...if anything look up the tag #steem you'll see plenty written on this topic.
great video as always @cryptovestor
this also could easily be it's own post here on steemit. js;)
thanks. but there a ton better written than my blurb...i posted that little reminder because alot of new folks gravitate here from YT and dont look up how to post.
i myself learned ..that way.
