-=- We all have a shared interest in cryptocurrency here on Steemit. The question I’m compelled to ask others who I connect with here is “how did you get started in cryptocurrency?” @dmitrydao shares how he first encountered Bitcoin in early 2011 at the age of 16, how he became the first person to ever receive funding from the Dash budgeting system, and how he now is efforting to bring Steem payments worldwide. -=-

-=- A lot is happening on the Steem blockchain, from Steem Monsters to Lucksacks poker, and now…SteemPets? The title drew me in to find out the answer to the question “What the hell is SteemPets?” An idea that developed from thoughts of animating PlankTown characters and Tamagotchis, turned into SteemPets, which still needs the help of the community to develop. If interested in what it is and how you can get involved, read @SteemPets introduction to SteemPets. -=-

-=- Nowadays, most children and teenagers have smartphones and computers, where they have access to an unlimited world of information. This can be really good or really bad if parents do not supervise what they do online. @akdx talks about this and explains how she is worried about children watching porn online, especially after she saw on the news that a group of five boys of nine to fourteen years age raped a girl of eight years, because they a saw porn video that popped up while they were playing and they end up imitating it. As it is said in the post, these kinds of situations are becoming more and more common on the news and the sex industry is invading every corner of our lives. Go check the post and share your opinion! -=-

As Steemit users it is common to see lots of articles related to cryptocurrencies and to blockchain projects, but do you understand how blockchain works? Do you really know why is it so important? To help us understand blockchain, @dontmiss wrote a post where she explains in a detailed and a very easy way how blockchain works, its advantages, how transactions take place and examples of its use. Along with the explanation, she includes some images that will make everything easier to understand. Check the post to learn more about this! -=-
