Steem is one of the most fascinating new blockchain based platforms, first of all because it managed to succeed at transforming the media landscape where other projects have failed, or are still in their infancy. The result of this technology can be seen on the webpage Steemit.com: A news/blogging platform in which content can be sorted by popularity, but in which authors can actually get paid for their content by getting upvoted.
