Steem coin, also known as Steem coin or Steem Coin for short, was originally developed as a cryptocurrency on the Steemit platform to reward users for community building by promoting and publishing meaningful content. The Steemit platform, founded in 2016 by Ned Scott and BitShares founder Dan Larimer, sits atop the Steem blockchain and is a social media network that aims to be a source of community-driven curated content such as news, Q\&a and workboards. The higher the value that a particular piece of content can deliver to more people, the greater the reward for the creator, Steemit users can vote to create a content hierarchy, and the higher the upVote count received on the piece of content, the more Steem their publisher gets.
