Steemit's platform allows you to get paid for doing what you already do- liking, commenting, uploading, and otherwise interacting with social media. Steem, Steampower, and Steam Dollars are revolutionary in the way that they work together to pay YOU. Cryptocurrency and online social interactions are at the thresholds of a new frontier.
Welcome to the new reddit- where everyone wins. Cryptocurrency has never seen something like this before, though it's been a dream! Buying into Steem is easy, since it's free to get in, but is made even easier if you have some ether that you wish to grow in value, through Steemit.
While the Ethereum platform gets through the hard-fork/Dao hurdles, it may pay to have at least some of your ether diversified- and this one has a serious moonshot. I've yet to be as excited for anything since I first heard of AOL Instant Messenger. This is that radical.
