SteemIt - The true power of the global communications network.

While the monetary aspects of SteemIt are indeed the driving force that makes this happen, I believe that it is the community that holds the true power.

The ability to relay information, data, thoughts, and ideas instantaneously to any point in the world has always been a point of strong appeal in internet communications. It grants us the power to effect change in a large scale, without having to travel or wait for the sending of a physical message.

Social media sits as a strong point in this regime, as an informational relay among the general public. SteemIt takes this a step further, by giving incentives for community support. This opens pathways for the participants to support the community rather than simply being a drain on its’ resources. While not a new invention, it is being used here in a new and effective way. The true power, however, is in the unification of the members to support the curation of ideas they agree with, irrespective of the financial aspects of the network.

SteemIt brings to the table a platform capable of uniting business, political, social, and individual interests into the same communications network, allowing for for the formation of an unprecedented global online community.

With the aspects of member to member support, we are able to help one another by forming connections and relationships that work towards building a strong and powerful community.

At our fingertips we command the power to send our information and ideas out into the world. Wether its’ news, financial data, promotional information, or simply an idea we had, a beautiful photograph we want to share, our latest accomplishment, or maybe the score from last nights game, SteemIt gives us the power to instantly distribute communications throughout the world, while maintaining the quality of that information through internal checks and balances.

Someone throwing money in the wrong direction or a Steem Shark equipped with a mob of proxy voting accounts is easily overweighed by a strong community support of upvotes, making it possible for great ideas to surface in the face of political or personal bias.

This is truly the next step in global communications.

Thank you all for being a part of SteemIt, every one of you help to make this possible.
