Are we getting paid for creating content and curating on steem?
Definitely Not ❗️
Why is everyone telling that people getting paid for blogging on steem? Thats not true. No one is really paying us.
As the website of steem states, we're getting rewarded.. with some tokens called Steem, Steem Power and Steem Dollars. These are just bits and bytes created by the network, nothing with any value in the real world at the moment..
We can exchange it.. into any other cryptocurrency..💰 the same bits and bytes.. if someone is willing to pay for it❗️
Then, finally, we can convert it into real actual money (ok, you can buy stuff with bitcoin, but thats not the point here) 😎
So we're dependent on other people willing to pay money for steem to get paid but we get nothing from the platform itself.
So please stop telling the world you get paid by the platform for steeming, thats an illusion.
Btw. the process to convert steem into fiat seem to get more complicated as more and more exchanges having problems trading steem or abandoned it completely. At least thats what I read more often the last couple of days.. haven't tried on my own so far. 😕
