The Presentation

Since I am using Steemit, I thought about actually making the presentation using materials built into Steemit, like this one! So, here it goes...

What is Steemit?

Steemit is a Social Network like Facebook or Reddit... Well, not really... it looks like it, but in fact, it's much more than that. Your content will be paid for it's value instead of being used for someone else's profit.

And it's FREE! Anyone can create an account.

10 Differentiation factors

These are the main reasons I see value on Steemit:

1. Social Network that values your content! (instead of using it for own profit)
2. No censoring! You own your content.
   (no more, "your post got deleted because... WE CAN DELETE!")
3. Immutable, after the curation period (7 days).
4. Reputation factor: How many upvotes vs downvoting you have. How legit you are... and is also used to hide (not delete) low quality content. AKA, likely not important content. Examples bellow:
   Your reputation value
   At a specific post
   Low quality content
   
5. Steemit is backed by STEEM blockchain, a graphene blockchain based on BitShares capable of +1000 tx/s, with years of development and testing behind an international community.
6. Your POWER (how much value your vote has) is determined by how much STEEM you want to be responsible for, called STEEM POWER.
7. Multiple permission keys to save you from mistakes (they are still private keys, but can't do everything to your account).
8. You are protected against quick robbery! STEEM POWER needs to be converted weekly to STEEM, and that takes 13 weeks.
9. Promotes the development of tools that use the same STEEM blockchain and provide valuable services. Like Steemit.chat!
10. It's a diverse international content source, search engines friendly (like Google), constantly evolving and being adapted by the community.

Where do I start? Instructions...

All of these also work with the usual "google it" fashion, but these might speed you up a bit.

1. Want to try your first post on Steemit? - Quick Guide
2. How to start using Steemit? The SIX most asked questions! (6/6) - Complete!
3. Several ways to withdraw STEEM/SBD to New Zealand Dollars (NZD)
4. A phone app? Sure, try eSteem - Feature Set #17 How to save on bandwidth usage? (Fetching images, Compact view)
5. Steemit.chat - Ask anyone anything! This is chat front-end using the same blockchain as Steemit.com. So all the users there, will be the same users as on steemit.com.
6. Blockexplorers like: steemd.com, steemstats.com, steemdb.com

Thanks Sean for the opportunity to present Steemit...
