RE: The Fresh Five for Feb 8th! New Steemians you should get to know!
Hey David! You don't have to do anything next... we're here for you!
If you have any questions or anything, feel free to ask us... there is a lot to learn about the Steem blockchain.
Owk, tnx!
Please whats blockchain about?
Blockchain is the technology that cryptocurrency runs on.
You know Visa and Paypal and Mastercard? Those systems run on big databases held by those companies. If those companies fail then everyone loses their money (or the debt). Blockchain however, runs on thousands of people's computers, and those people get paid a little slice for helping out.
Steem uses blockchain technology... so it runs on the top 20 witnesses computers... so if any of those 20 people have a computer problem, the next person just steps right in.
Owk..
Got it!
Thanks
