Have you ever thought about Steemit, globalization and income distribution?
No? Me neither - until today. Think about it. Especially this aspect of Steemit is awesome!
The salary difference worldwide is still considerable. Traditional goods and the prevailing economic policy will probably not have a positive effect on the global wage gap.
In the age of Data, digital goods such as Steemit blog posts can accomplish what traditional goods are not able to do.
Steemits payouts are not subject to national adjustment. The payout algorithm does not differentiate whether a user comes from Europe, Asia or Africa. That's remarkable!

It is difficult to generate a monthly income of $4,738 (USA) with Steemit but $33 (Madagascar) are reachable. For countries like Thailand, Vietnam and India, the writing of Steemit blogs is a potential profession (Internet assumed). With the necessary ambition it is even possible to increase the standard of living, and this only because Steemit does not differentiate between the origin of the users. The income compensation provided by Steemit, for example between the USA and Vietnam, is 2.755%.
