I had no clue that steem is about currency.. but thought is a social networks with a different approach. 
It is a great network with a very unique rewarding system which makes it interesting for curators..
but so far my feeling is it is still relatively complex to handle, 
nothing easy going - the PW are still most easy thing.
It is more the dynamics.. the hidden 30 minutes rules, what a resteem does, aso.. 
I'M not here for the money.. it is a nice sideeffect.. but to see how a system like this can work..
