Most of us can probably spur up something on the spot about blockchain technology but I don't think many people (including me) have no exact idea how this amazing machine called blockchain technology runs.

At least this gives all of us a desire to learn more. I've been watching a couple of videos and reading a view articles about different aspects of the blockchain which really helps with my understanding and you really realise the huge potential this technology has.

One thing that surrounds and drives a great blockchain is its community. On steemit we have a community of those that love to give and receive words of encouragement. A place where you can find others with the same interests as you and form great relations.

I find those that are positive and encouraging to people are rewarded. While those that are negative and nasty tend to end up giving up on the system or not finding a break through on here so the effort you put in counts.

Also if you wanna write something meaningful, you have to make an effort. You have to explore the topic you write about and that is why many posts are so good because people put so much work and effort in I love it and their work is rewarded.

Well I hope I can stick around for the long run and see steemit blow up and have everyone using it @exyle haha

excelente video blog hermano, compartiendo tus conocimientos sobre la blockchain!

I can only agree with you, when it comes to the technical level I dont understand it at all, like wheres the money really comming from??
But im also very curious about where this (steem) is going. And it feels very different to make an upvote here than making a like on facebook. It feels more meaningfull here.

Good post!

block chain is love to be honest.

blij dat je zo happy bent met steemit man! Ik heb hier ook een geweldige tijd en herken veel dingen van je lijstje bij mezelf!

What motivates me is the newness. The opportunity to learn something new and exciting. I've always been a bit anti-establishment and anything that kicks against mainstream is good. And the possibility of earning money for your work doesn't hurt either. Thanks @exyle

There are not many blockchains which are actively contributing to it's users right now. Last I checked, its Bitcoin and Ethereum which has been put up for some use. Otherwise all the other crypto's are still in 'developing' phase. Steemit on the other hand creating wonders for it's users. I am highly inspired by it's working. It's unique and first of it's kind. It'll be huge in future and I want (need) to see this blockchain growing exponentially :) Thank you @exyle for your insight :)

I agree. There is something in Steemit that is very engaging from a personal standpoint, that I don't get from my other investments and experiments in crypto.

Yes ..for me its..
The social side
The interaction
The diversity of topics
The coming together of different cultures
The contact with different people around the world
And if that wasn't enough its based on blockchain technology

thank you for sharing

Excellent list!

Believe is a part of the motivation. A lot of the bulletpoints you are talking About have my backup. I feel like steemit is the new way to go.

Very True, Steem blockchain has the potential to truly disrupt existing social media industries and make processes of more secure, transparent, and efficient platform.

All of the above for me... and

(12) I can't wait to see what labor of love @exyle is cooking in the kitchen next. Even if my dinner sucks that night, at least I know he's eating well. :)

You have a good blog. I enjoy following you. :)

This is an inspiring post. I like them because I share you views about this blockchain.

It's a tough concept to explain to others. I've found that it's even tough to try to figure out what Steem Power really is, technically speaking. In my last post, I've managed to define Steem Power out of most of the IRS' income definitions, but as far as where it best fits in....that's a project I'm still working on for part 5.

<ul>
  <li>Ability to meet new people that shares my interest</li>
  <li>Ability to learn something new</li>
  <li>With Steem, I am able to stay upto date on topics of interest</li>
  <li>Ability to have my own voice heard in a crazy little world</li>
  <li>Ability to earn some extra income doing what i love most</li>
</ul>
<p>And so on. The list is gonna be a long one if I continue.&nbsp;</p>

Same thing for me, I know close to nothing as how the technology works. But yet I can see the many possibilities and paths this blockchain can go and its effect on society and day to day life in the future. Just the thought of the many possibilities is exciting enough and that is what keeps me hooked. Thanks for sharing your vision with us.

Wow
Nice post @exyle

What I initially loved about Steemit (and still do) is the fact that I can learn and earn at the same time.  I am totally fascinated in how block chain has the ability to reshape our world and bring much needed balance  and truth to two specific areas:  Finance and Media. 

I feel these 2 spaces have really left the people behind so to speak.  These 2 areas effect us most on a day to day basis and are stymied by rampant corruption. 

The powers that be have used these 2 mediums to control our money supply to herd us like sheep to the slaughter and control our minds by controlling what media we ingest daily.  Block chain allows peer to peer contact on both fronts.  It enables financial transactions without a 3rd party intermediary taking their cut and lets you absorb information directly from whomever and wherever you choose.  All this is enabled by total transparency within the block chain.  You can always see what has transpired b/c it's there forever for you to see it.  No more smoke and mirrors.  

If I had to sum it up in a few words, I'd say block chain represents a beacon of truth in a world so desperately in search of it.   Great post brother! Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Money is a language that communicates value and that value has evolved into digital language, i understand that language and i hope you do too.

good work steem a sign off power in future

I would have to say the thing that keeps me on the Steem blockchain is that the engagement here is amazing. People are a lot nicer and more civil here compared to other social media platforms.

thx for sharing

The community and the interaction online, I'm not gonna lie, the fact that you can make a little cash here and there while talking about stuff dear to you, and the fact that it bypasses bank. I absolutely loath them

When I saw you listed your 11 reasons it reminded me of "turning it up to eleven"  ~ This Is Spinal Tap by almost forty years later...  one of my favorite movies.

1. as long as a newbie can earn something easily after joining Steemit then we should be here a long time in the future and worth of steem value will grow exponentially...

2. I enjoy daily tacks and steemit gives me a feeling of a daily accomplishment.

3. Easy to learn the system and it is Fun...

11 best list one can list, all the reasons why I'm here. 🙌🏼😎💯

I totally agree with you ! this is something is see getting really huge in future.  I have put my savings for getting a house in steem.  i really believe in it.

Very well said actually. I liked the part when you said losing the vision. I so agree when I look at my own business. And the difference between FB and steemit was spot on too. When people came to steemit they realised for sure that FB was not about them anymore where as steemit acts a new home for them and everything is about the people. They feel at home here. "Collecting tokens and meeting people"  :)

I'm finding interaction with people on much deeper subjects than what you would find on facechat.

There's also the fact that I'd be hard pressed to find anyone locally to have those same discussions with.

Good points you've made there! I totally agree with Point #10.

Great points of view my friend.. I really enjoy your vlogs, your really express a happy vibe which captures people.. I stick with Steem because honestly I can't invest money due to the lack of it.. Everything I've made here is without investment and soon I will have my vote slider unlocked 😊 6800 people out of 250 000 have it amongst the whole platform, which is a great privilege for me honestly. 

Cheers and can't wait for your next vlog.

P. s the lack of support here from people really discourages at the beginning but I guess after spending a year here things will be looking better.

I'm mostly here for the community and the potential to become fully sustainable doing the things I love, no need for deals with the devil or "selling myself".  

I was looking for somewhere to share my writing and there is shit for community over at patreon.  I thought, "why the hell doesn't this place have a forum, somewhere to connect to other content creators and potential readers".  Then steemit appeared and it was just so easy to see why I belong here.  

I stick around because despite the problems, there are too many awesome people here and we are incentivized to interact with each other.  I want to see a ton of people who want more than just their own profit to be able to focus all their energy on what they do and steemit has that potential.  How many people can achieve a high degree of self sustainability....I guess that depends on the way steemit evolves...

It's a privilege to be here, man! 
You're always so honest and open. I have nothing but respect for you! <3

All your posts are honest and with style. It is nice to be here.
