The steem blockchain as we all know it has been one of the fastest growing blockchain technologies up to date, with very fast transactions, having the most activity all over other blockchain platforms, most active users, and having one of the most possibilities of partnerships from other blockchain technologies.
But.
Sincerely, for anyone who joined steemit very early,last year or maybe later at the beginning of this year, you may have joined the steem blockchain because of steemit platform. Usually what you were told all about was [steemit.com](steemit.com) and maybe that's all you thought the steem blockchain was all about.
What if i told you!
What if i told you that the steem blockchain is much more bigger than what you  know right now!

What is steem blockchain?
>>Steem.it is a blockchain-based social media platform where anyone can earn rewards by posting relevant content, curating quality content by upvoting and by holding Steem based currencies in a vest fund, which generates interest.

Some platforms that too support on the steem blockchain.
Some of these are like explorers around the steem blockchain, magnifying information, showing in details about the steemit platform as well.
We have [steemd.com](steemd.com) , [steemnow.com](steemnow.com) , [steem.supply](steem.supply) , [steemworld.org](
steemworld.org) and so on..
But again we do have some platforms for creating content built on the steem blockchain that you have probably heard of or never used at all.

As much as we can blog from steemit, we can as well create various content through these platforms as well, be it videos, audio, blogs, pictures, computer codes,  and so on.

A platform for rewarding programmers that contribute to the steem blockchain, suggestion contributions, innovators and troubleshooting.

Ww do have others like steepshot, zappo, etc but this literally depends on how and what you get to do on the steem blockchain.

**As well, we do have steem tokens all over other platforms and exchanges**
G0pax, HitBtc,poloniex, Binance, bitshares, Bittrex, shapeshift.io and so on.
And too we have tokens for  the steem that are active and others are yet to be launched later like steemhunt.

When the steem blockchain rewards for creating content, we sometimes look at only blogging, which isn't just the only way. It can be as simple as buying and holding some steem tokens or even curating on some other people's content, that's just one example that shows just how wide the steem blockchain can go.
As well there are some other projects you can check out, regularly they are posted on steemit.
You can learn more by checking out such posts on steemit, alot is going on in the steem blockchain and blogging on steemit is only one of them.

**So!**
Be sure to explorer the steem blockchain as much as you can, it is so wide to offer for your area of interest or expertise.

As always
