Happy new year to everyone! The beginning of this video is more of a fast explanation of the Steem blockchain for everyone that is new to STEEM in 2018. There is so much more to learn but I hope this video will kickstart your experience. I talk about earning crypto on the Steem blockchain through creating content, creating app/frontends and how you can monetize them, earn crypto through becoming a witness and even monetizing your own skills (like logo design) for STEEM. I also quickly touch on the main aspect of the Steem blockchain that makes it function so well. - 3-second block times - no fees on transactions - scalability (currently the top blockchain with 1.3 million transactions per day with 0.11% load) [source](http://blocktivity.info/). ---- ![gfdgdgdfgd.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmXD2A6TU3B2JBsVaUfxxJ3rgJC3rP457V3F8pBEidMPzz/gfdgdgdfgd.png) ---- # My own endeavors ------ I also talk about my future plans on the STEEM blockchain and that of my witness group @blockbrothers. # Steem price ------ Steem price is currently $3.15. Fantastic! What a way to start the year. More good news. The amount of liquid STEEM is still going down every week. (even though more STEEM is created every day). # Liquid STEEM is going down. ----------- ### 13-12-2017 ------ https://steemitimages.com/DQmTBeK4xttYYf87DWaaftaCCRusZrKxMwxnYQafonMywnS/1234.png ------ ### 24-12-2017 ------ https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmSGBtwHnb8KVYQaLtQKGU2mzid5GmDZ1Q1m35PMo6vPLE/123.png ------ ### 1-1-2018 ----- ![321321321312312.png](https://steemitimages.com/DQmWAqxaCEhFGehvkbHCHDoKGEr68APcKgTW7XiRkECFXvR/321321321312312.png) ------- https://steemitimages.com/0x0/https://steemitimages.com/DQmf84t6h3Ds3PRaKvNgnSgL9WZuWzphjXhBKJDfpGDun4g/Exyle%20logo%20final%20_%20RGB-04.png ------------- #### I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain.
