*Money has been a part of human history for almost 3,000 years. From the origins of bartering to modern money, this is how the system has evolved.* During the days of our fathers, trading was done by exchanging goods, materials and the likes. Imagine how tedious it will be if you would need to travel some distance in order to see whom to exchange with. The first known currency was created by King Alyattes in Lydia, now part of Turkey, in 600BC. The first coin ever minted features a roaring lion. Since then, money began to gain ground and people started trading with money. It is easily stored and can be spent anywhere. This also followed by the history of decentralized currency of which Bitcoin is the first. Bitcoin, having been the first fully decentralized currency was followed by other cryptocurrency which includes Steemit. WHY STEEMIT? Steemit is one of the cryptocurrencies that requires zero capital. The only thing that is required is your contribution to the steemit community. Every of your contribution to the community worth something. Currently, steemit is one of the first 25 cryptocurrencies in the internet marking system. ![steem coin.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmNiL5WHtYMKHAre8d2UuFvzoJRE8MT2DJKDwfVTaPXUR9/steem%20coin.jpg) [SOURCE](https://2.bp.blogspot.com/-s0EYP-x3soE/WvX-DR1DJxI/AAAAAAAAADo/4vf7ZBWE1FQ9UHMuV33b2ObDftUVRVimQCLcBGAs/s1600/steem%2Bcoin.jpg) HOW HAS IT HELPED 1) The steemit blockchain has help many to find their means on making a positive change in their various areas of concern. 2) Those who know and love sharing have also been encourage via the steemchurch community on steemit blockchain. *the first ever church of the blockchain*.
