Have you ever wondered what your post looks like while stored in the Steem blockchain?

<p>If you've ever wondered how a post looks inside the Steem blockchain, below is an image taken from a text editor, after opening the blockchain file and searching for a particular post.</p>
<p>You will notice that despite some &quot;garbage&quot; (these are binary information for non-text-storage purposes), the text of a post is very clear and readable.</p>
<p>I've used an older short post of mine as an example: https://steemit.com/steemit/@alexgr/steemit-remind-us-that-there-is-more-content-out-there-</p>
<p>The resulting image, from the text of the blockchain (located around the 338 million bytes mark - we are currently around 2 billion bytes), is the following:</p>
<p>https://s9.postimg.org/h8d554ba7/block.jpg</p>
<p>Pretty neat, huh? :)</p>
