To be honest, I had the thought myself some 7-8 months ago to create a social media website that rewards "two-cents" for other people's two-cents of content...
The idea was striking to me, and I knew that by saying it around electronics; surely the idea escaped into the world...
Here we are today, I don't know when SteemIt was created; I don't care (Anyone can change the world if they don't care who gets credit) I'm just happy that my dream came to life so to speak...
For too long, sites like MySpace, Facebook, Youtube, Instagram have earned MASSIVE amounts of money from the data, ideas, pictures, and thoughts you willingly give to them...
They are not grateful companies, they keep every dime of that for themselves; no matter how big or revolutionary your idea/thought/picture/art was...
SteemIt is changing that balance, allowing content creators to earn income from their THOUGHTS and IDEAS and MOVEMENTS...
THIS is Cryptocurrency folks, the essence of decentralization by giving power and wealth back to the people...
Don't just treat SteemIt like a get rich quick opportunity, treat it like a savings account for your brain, for your thoughts, a piggy bank for your funny ideas and creative notions...
The best part? SteemIt is going to keep growing, your payment on thoughts, ideas, and brains will COMPOUND on themselves, earning more and more because you realized early how big this movement was...
Use it, do it, watch it happen...
