I interviewed Steemit's Andrew Levine, talked cryptos & Steemit
I had the pleasure of speaking to Steemit's Andrew Levine @andrarchy for a half hour today. We talked first about cryptocurrency more generally, including the idea of "creating something from nothing," and then delved into a bit about crypto regulation.
Then we talked about the Steemit community, Steem as a currency, and how the existing David Pakman Show audience can participate in the Steemit community, support my work, and also build something of value themselves.
Please check out the interview, and leave a comment!
Excellent interview, just finished the whole thing. David you were excellent at slowing it down and getting some basic fundamentals established in layman's terms. For any of your audience just joining or seeing this, I would reiterate the importance of commenting on @davidpakman content and supporting each other with upvotes on those comments. @andrarchy touched on comment importance at the end of the interview. Tight knit communities will do well at building stake together and increasing their voting power as they continue to interact and reciprocate with votes of increasing strength. It creates an upward spiral or feedback loop among those dedicated to a particular concept or fanbase. It's also extremely frictionless marketing for @davidpakman to reward excellent audience interactions with votes. No other platform has such a great connection of value flowing back to the audience, which of course flows back to the show in return. Happy to have you all here!
Thanks very good post !!!!
Awesome Work!
Keep it up!!!

Haha great gif
Lol, but anyway the show must go on despite all the ups and downs. #makesteemitgreatagain
Let's make Steemit the new Bitcoin for Social media!
Yea, let's do this! #makesteemitgreatagain
Very informative thanks.
Awesome interview thanks for the content
I am a bit late coming to this party.......but I intend to stick around a while. If this is an indication of the equality of your interviews David, then I will be a very regular viewer.....I shall definitely follow with great interest. I am new to Steemit and relatively new to Crypto, this is one of the best and accessible channels that I have come across as will definitely be recommending you to friends. I hadn't quite got my head around the whole voting hierarchy but it is now beginning to make sense to me. Now that I have finished the video I am going to go back to the link and watch the others that were there and I suggest that anyone else who is a relative new comer to the space to do the same. Thanks David and Andrew for making things much clearer for me. Cheers J
Great interview. I can't stress enough to newcomers interested in crypto that steem rewards you as a proof-of-brain mechanism instead of wasting electricity and or burning your GPU's mining the older proof-of-work coins. Its one of the very few that rewards you for your time and contribution and the results are just fascinating after a while.
Re-steeming this to my followers!
well said - proof of brain mechanism is a game changer
@davidpakman & @andrarchy
Thank you for great show :)
Upvoted not only here, but also on YouTube to increase visibility :)
thanks very much!
Oops just realised that I posted this earlier in the wrong box....I am a bit late coming to this party.......but I intend to stick around a while. If this is an indication of the equality of your interviews then I will be a very regular viewer.....I shall definitely follow with great interest. I am new to Steemit and relatively new to Crypto, but from my experience to dat within the space, this is one of the best and most accessible channels that I have come across as will definitely be recommending you to friends. Thanks so much David. Cheers J
Who fucking cares? Back to kill these rewards once fully recharged. More circle jerk bullshit...I’m shocked!!
This video already has 1.5K views on YouTube, don't you think this is a good way of getting the word out about Steem and steemit.com? I'm genuinely trying to understand your perspective here. I think David's demographic is good for the platform, I think he is a content creator who generates high quality content and whose following is growing, and I think Steemians see the longer term potential of having a content creator like him on Steem. I also think he genuinely believes in the platform. This all seems good to me, but I'm definitely open to a counter-argument.
You know Bernie, I won't sit here and attack you or call you names like many people have done before. As much as sometimes your comments are harsh I know your heart is always in the right place. I know you are about Steem and its future, and that is the only reason why I decided to reply.
The day when David made his post about Steemit, his one week experience we had a big spike in signups, over 7k new users. Yes of course, this could coincidence, and I would have no way of giving you the exact percentage of people that he has brought over. But if I was a betting man, I would say that there is a good chance it was mostly because of his video.
I also won't tell you what I think you should do, you have the right to do as you see fit, and even though we may disagree sometimes, I'll defend your right to speak your mind. I just wanted you to have all the info.
cheers
I think Bernie doesn't care about signups. The system is flawed (which I think most people will have to agree, so far in development at least), which to him is reason enough to rant on and downvote every post with any positive bias towards Steem or Steemit.
To people like him, this is wasted money on keeping a facade. I can certainly see his point of view. I guess I'm just more hopeful, not as rich and less into rude behaviour.
This is a great interview. Highlighted a number of cool things. One of the coolest things about steemit is the ease of onboarding into the cryptospace without making an initial investment. This is a huge point in my opinion...as inevitably a person walks through a crypto financial education process...learns how to exchange, send, vote, receive - voila - STEEM vested Stake Grows
Community building steem ecosystems - the point of like minded individuals growing stake together..and the smt's coming to add to that. Also the fact that any community can create their own window with terms for the steem blockchain is quite a cool thing.
Andrew made a great point about writing. I've started experimenting around with this myself. Kind of happened serendipitously where I just kind of decided I am going to make the effort to express myself through writing on a daily basis and speak from the heart.
Steem On
That's awesome to hear! I firmly believe my point about writing, but I'm glad to see someone actually executing and finding value in it. Thanks for the feedback!
Holy crap! Just started but this is so awesome to see happening! Steemit is starting to make the rounds now on YouTube more and more. Great to see. Nice David.
I'm pretty excited about it too!
Well done interview
Great stuff, David. Been a long-time viewer on YT. Thanks for turning me on to this community.
Welcome to Steemit! Thanks for joining us!
Community Liaison, Steemit
Absolutely fantastic interview, it drove the key points home which for me is probably the best outcome.
Of course, Upvoted and Resteemed!
Much appreciated! Glad I didn't make a total a$$ of myself :)
I knew you would do good Andrew, I learned a lot from some of your older videos. ;)
hi mate, do you have his account name with all the video's
you can just search for andrew levine steemit, easy enough to find
steemit.com/@andrarchy or if you just want my videos you can find me on youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/user/afetherw8/videos
A very nice and simple introduction to Steemit for your audience. The questions you put to @andrarchy were very clear and relevant to someone with little understanding about crypto/blockchain and his answers were succinct. Hopefully this video will inspire more people to get on board and try Steemit. Also the mention of the new communities feature was interesting as I had not heard about that, but I do think it's something that we need. As Coin Mastery said in one of his videos he thinks Steemit would be better if there was a little less emphasis on the content poster and more on the commenters (like reddit for example) and I've come to agree. Hopefully this new feature will help to move Steemit in that direction and enhance discussion and interaction between members.
