Let's Talk About Steem Baby! - Why Can't I Vote Or Comment?
QUESTION: I cannot comment or vote? What should I do?
@thekittygirl says, "If you are new to the Steem blockchain, you have only a few Resource Credits (RC). Once you have written some posts and gotten rewards for them, you can "Power Up" the Steem & SBD you earn, which means turning it into SteemPower (SP) which will allot you more RC. The more you post, earn and PowerUp, the more RC you will have!
BLOCKCHAIN: A blockchain is a public ledger of information collected through a network that sits on top of the internet. It is how this information is recorded that gives blockchain its groundbreaking potential. Quoted source HERE
STEEM: STEEM is the foundational cryptocurrency of the Steemit network. STEEM can be exchanged for bitcoin or other cryptocurrencies via several prominent exchanges. In order to cast votes, however, you need to turn your STEEM into Steem Power (SP). This process is known as “powering up”. You can also convert STEEM into Steem Dollars. Quoted source HERE
SBD: Steem Dollars, valued at 1:1 with the US dollar, are a unit used to represent a short-term debt. Holding Steem Dollars is described in Steem’s white paper as a way of lending the community the value of one US dollar, which is designed to foster growth. Quoted source HERE
RESOURCE CREDIT: Resource Credits are non-transferable credits given to each account based on how much Steem Power it has, which get “spent” whenever a user transacts with the Steem blockchain. Quoted source HERE
POWERUP: This is the action of moving Steem to Steem Power (SP) within your wallet. Quoted source HERE
DELEGATION: Steem allows a user to delegate out Steem Power to other users. It essentially means you are letting someone borrow your Steem power. If you get Steem delegated to you, it means your voting and curating power goes up by the amount you are delegated. Quoted source HERE
