In my previous post («Today I realized in what aspect Steemit is better than Bitcoin & Ethereum») I compared Steemit with the village. In the sense that everyone knows each other. And even more - the more people know you, the better for you. And in the city there are more opportunities for anonymity.
However, if you want to succeed, you need friends.
You need people who know and trust you. And anonymity on the contrary can hinder you. So Steemit, which is similar to a huge decentralized virtual village, much better than the system in which anonymity is an important part. I mean Bitcoin and many others cryptocurrencies.
But Steemit is not just a social network where you can share thoughts and impressions. It is the best system of crowdfunding, which has ever been created.
Realize a dream and make the world a better place.
One of the most exciting features of the Steemit is an opportunity to realize a dream. Every person has a dream. And very often the only thing that prevents a dream come true - a lack of money. But this dream could make the world a better place.
What is crowdfunding?
This is the practice of funding a project or venture by raising monetary contributions from a large number of people. That is, you can make your dream come true with the help of other people.
Steemit makes the lives of common people better. It makes the world better.
4 days as I live to Steemit. And I see a lot of great ideas come to life through this project. This is really happening. Although it's more like a dream, a fantasy.
About a year ago my friends (family couple) has published a book with fairy tales. And they collected funds for its publication through a system of crowdfunding. Then I first saw how it works in practice. Thinking about implementing ideas, I studied the existing systems of crownfunding and found them too difficult. Too many rules and restrictions on the project that you want to implement. And all those endless rules and restrictions very quickly kills creativity and inspiration. In short, if you have ever had to deal with such systems of crowdfunding, you understand me. And then, the logic is simple - the more complex a system is, the fewer people will be able to use it.
But Steemit amazingly easy to use.
And all this thanks to the genius of the creators, to the blockchain and cryptocurrency technology (Steem, Steem Power and Steem Dollar). Yes, while other systems of crowdfunding use fiat money for their work, Steemit uses the technology of the future - cryptocurrency. With this technology, everything is significantly simplified.
Nobody prevent you to realize your idea.
Another important fact - as Steemit is a decentralized system, nobody prevent you to realize your idea. Nobody will reject your project at the very beginning when you just talk about it. Everyone can tell about their project, no matter what the project is. In fact, there are no special conditions and restrictions on the project description. Isn't it wonderful?
I'm sure Steemit will change the lives of many people for the better. After all, he's already doing that. But I believe that this is only the beginning. Steemit will allow entrepreneurs of a new era to create their businesses and give the world a unique goods and services. And ordinary people will always be able to obtain moral and financial support here. Isn't it great?
Is it ever the Internet has provided something like that before?
Obviously not. It is obvious that Steemit is the future of the Internet. A future that became a reality now. Look at this! After all, we needed banks that gave us loans for our projects. Banks gave us money and took us sometimes exorbitant interest for the use of their capital. And it stopped a lot of great ideas. Steemit solved this problem like no other.
The Internet has always impressed with its size. But for all its scale, it has not been able so effectively to transform social life by funding initiatives of many wonderful people. The Internet could not serve the people as it can serve them using Steemit. We can say that Internet is turning into a huge bank that is able to give money to everyone. And it's not even a loan! This is actually a gift! Just think how far apart these two concepts - a loan and a gift. Such gifts we usually get from family - from parents or from other relatives. And it turns out that Steemit in a sense, turns the Internet into a huge family!
Steemit turns the Internet not into the bank, it turns the Internet into the family!
Yes, Steemit turns the Internet not into the bank, it turns the Internet into the family! And this technology is truly humane. As I wrote in my previous post - Steemit is a huge village. The village where everyone knows each other, where there is trust and a real help to each other. The post was supported by many users, and I got 1284$. Isn't it wonderful? Steemit, you gave me these finances, supporting me both morally and financially. And it gives me the warmest feelings toward the people who created this project, and toward everybody who is developing it. And although I'm still a newbie, I am full of determination and inspiration to be an active part of this community and give my energy to its development. So this is the best Internet project that I've ever met. And this is the best system of crowdfunding that has ever existed!
