The Steemit.com has been revolutionizing as a social media platform for some time now by rewarding content author with cryptocurrency #STEEM, #SBD for the posts. This platform is especially popular among the #cryptocurrency community and has become an excellent source for relevant and up-to-date news on the world.

Content author are joining Steemit everyday in order to reap a reward for something that they would otherwise do for free (or close to free), post content on the internet or social media.

Steemit has a reputation system, where new accounts or user begin with a reputation of 25. Votes received by that accounts can affect top-down reputation.

Scott Said -

“When people began to see that steem was real and people were paying their bills and buying things like cell phones and washing machines with their earnings, that increased confidence and the rate at which users were bringing in their friends.”

He also says - 'I believe this is the beginning of a very big movement'.

The New York Business Journal
Reached out to Scott to find out what this means for his social network and the cryptocurrency space as a whole. Scott compared the phenomenon to "internet points" and how the business model of customer rewards has evolved into viable sources of revenue. " Take Reddit for instance, which has Karma — Karma is just a points system, but those points don’t have real market value," he said. "Steem is the same thing but the points have real value."
This could ultimately lead to the gamification of social networking platforms and integrating them with the blockchain industry, Scott explained.
