I've been reading the Steemit FAQ and googling but still haven't been able to find the answers to these seemingly simple questions. I'm hoping Steemians can help me get to the bottom of these mysteries...
Exactly WHO is mining these STEEM cryptographic tokens?
What is the difference between Steem Coins and STEEM Tokens?
HOW is the Steem Dollar peg to the US Dollar maintained?
SBD versus STEEM (crypto tokens) - They appear to be fungible with both tradeable on exchanges. If this is the case, what is the point of SBD?
WHO are the core developers?
What's the story with this guy @Ned? Why is there so little information about him?
If anyone can answer these noob questions, I'd love to be educated.
