I was a Steemit platform skeptic, but after a few days on here I now know that Steemit has a critical mass of participants and the right kind of publicity to alter the way we view social media. The success of the platform should help the Steem cryptocurrency in the short term. I can't say I believe in Steem, but that does not matter. What matters is that Steemit is getting new people interested in Bitcoin/Cryptocurrency and expanding the cryptocurrency ecosystem. It has given me a few Steemit ideas that I want to try out very soon. Below is my video that talks about Steem becoming a rival of sorts (in a similar way that Ethereum is a rival, but on a not-technical level) of Bitcoin.
