6 thoughts -What makes Steemit special?
When I joined Steemit I had only a  vague Idea about this platform. I thought it as another online money making site. But then I changed my whole opinion about Steemit. I understood that even though this money making factor is the highlight of Steemit platform there are much greater thoughts that went  into  building this platform.

1.**Tackling privacy issues** - Steemit is *not asking* any of our *private data*. Like Facebook it is not selling our private data to third parties because it does't have one . There is an option in FB where you can download a copy of information that is stored . Once when I tried that I am amazed by the content of data stored there. It is as if in future they can create a duplicate me with all those information.

2.**No advertisement**- Steemit currently has no irritating  advertisement which will ask you to buy something.Even we don't have to use our *real name* in Steemit. That is an added advantage.

3.**Fast and free transaction**- we can transfer Steem to *anywhere* in the world with no transaction fee within *3 seconds*.Once the price is stabilized it would be awesome to do so. Imagine your aunt need money and you dont have it. You can publish a good post and send her that money. In the future if Steem currency can be used *to buy things directly* it will be an added advantage.

4.**Our voice can be heard**- Steemit is in its initial stage of life. So if we have any valuable suggestion there is a chance for it to get implemented. A stronger community support  is  there inside Steemit  itself. For example once my Facebook language got converted into Chinese. I had to search google to reverting it back. Even the  icons are converted into  Chinese so that I could  not understand what it really means . It took me around 1 hour to sort out that issue. But in Steemit you can search for any needed information *inside Steemit* itself.If you could not find it, you  can also  express it though *comments* and there are peoples who are ready to help.

5.**Futuristic technology** - Let me explain this  thought through *news paper industry*. There will be many journalists who would like to report the news truthfully. But due to the money minded authorities they have to budge and hide some  truth. Now imagine a system like Steemit works in media. Its where the best news reporters will be *awarded* and they will not be under any strain. So there will be natural tendency to report honest News.Now the biggest problem in FB and Wattsapp is facing is fake news reporting. In this kind of system imagine what will happen? Yes,you are right. It will *get down voted*. If its very low reputation the news will not be seen. Its brilliant concept right?

6.**We  need not be friends**- In Steemit we can see everyone's posts irrespective of whether they are friends or not. There is an advantage of it. We will be *conscious about our posting* as anyone can view it. For example yesterday I saw a Steemit post about a birthday celebration. In the end she is mentioning that she has taken all photos and would like to keep it with herself. But if it was in FB she might post it and shared it among friends. There could be a  lot of security issues with that too .

I also think that once the crypto market is stabilized Steem can do wonders.It outshines other cryptos as there  is a *proven use case *of Steem and Steemit platform which is* accessible and understandable for a layman freely*. You don't need a upgraded CPU or technical knowledge to mine Steem. You need to **just publish good content**. That's it.
Comments are welcome.
