I got hip to Steemit through good ole learning. I am a self-taught developer, who once found out about Ethereum's platform for developing. I wanted to see if there was a proof of concept out there. Ya know, an app that was actually working on the blockchain with it's own economy. And I know Steemit isn't on the Ethereum BlockChain, but damn, they did it. This is what's up. This is the future. Not just this app, but how all good apps could form their own eco-system and still remain an app as well.
