Last night was interesting! I tried to explain Steemit to my 8 year old. It was difficult, but I was surprised that he actually understood the concept. Sorta.
I knew he had a pretty good concept of what Facebook is, so I started there. I explained, Steemit is like Facebook, but we are rewarded for our post. We can share post and if other people like it, they “tip” us! He thought that was so cool! Thankfully, he did not have any questions about the “rewards.” I wasn’t prepared to talk about Steem Power, Steem, SBD, or where this money comes from! I’m not sure I totally understand it all myself.
I let him play around on the site and he even made some upvotes. I showed him how to use ‘tags’ to search for posts he might like. He saw a few “neat” photos. But what was this Dtube?
He was the most interested about this. Right away he knew it was like YouTube. I just told him that it was built to be part of Steemit, and you’re rewarded there, too! This excited him! He immediately took a video of this centipede outside, and wanted to upload it, but we got distracted. I told him I’d post it later, so here is his first DTUBE video:
So watch out, you might see some random stuff from him!
Hope you sll have a great Monday!!
Mark & AJ!
