Exploring Steem and the Beginnings of a Digital Renaissance
Steem-Powered Creativity in a New Light
Hello Steemit! Today we're excited to share the first of our conversational analyses on the creative potential of cryptocurrency and blockchain in the modern world. We originally gravitated towards Steemit for its capacity to reward creative steps that were previously not monetized. Since our early explorations, we’ve learned a tremendous amount about blockchain and how various functionalities and social structures could help mold Steem into an even more empowering tool for artistic and design professions.
We're looking forward to opening up the conversation and be sure to look out for our post on Friday that will be a major point by point breakdown of how Steemit will be the foundation for a new creative Renaissance.

Thank you for leading the march into a new reality never before possible for creatives. I do not know of another time in our history where creatives had the potential to be truly independent to create work without the financial pressures of those in power.
The Renissance was a great moment in creaitivity and beauty, and it obviously had such an impact on society that it rippled through time until now that humans take journeys to explore and visit those works.
Only difference now is that we are entering an age where humans can train to be craftsmen who do not need to spend their time servicing the most centralized power of the time. (Religions at the time, corporations in the period we are currently transitioning out of)
anyway, long story short: thank you, and we are so lucky to be going through this point in history together. :]
Apt analogy you're using!
It occurs to me that both Renaissances were/are a revolutionary response of sorts to paradigms that took the power away from the masses. Back then those in power used religion in corrupt ways to take money and power and today it's primarily economic means that are used to disempower the masses. (not very eloquently said, hope it makes sense)
The blockchain is our current cultural revolution and by its nature specifically gives power back to all of us and it's a pretty powerful concept to consider that it could very well lead to an unprecedented time of creativity!
Patronage of the ancient renaissance came in the form of the ultra rich and powerful patrons such as the Medicis, whereas our blockchain renaissance is "patronized" in a communal paradigm with each other's votes, comments, delegation and overall support AND it's win-win.
Seems to me that this renaissance is quite an evolution from the last one and I'm glad to be alive for it! Can't wait to see the next Da Vincis and Michelangelos (and the female equivalents!)
From the Medicis of Italy to the @curie's of Steemit... patronage and community empowerment is evolving quickly! That paradigm shift is being showcased right here everyday. It's an exciting time. Also yes (absolutely) we need more female roles this time around :D
Nice @natureofbeing.
Thanks for sharing interesting read..
I believe that.
Love the fresh perspective as a second renaissance!! This community really is a living and breathing machine and I can’t wait to create more blocks with STEEM.🤖👾🤖
Once I saw what STEEM was I was instlanty hooked!! We are the artists and this is the platform where each artist can display their work like in a museum. If the community wants to see more of your work they can give you energy as virtual token of appreciation.💪🏼🤩📈
I’m looking forward to Friday’s video!
Ps: This video quality is SUPER AMAZING!!😱🤯 (sorry for shouting) Can you give me 3 bullet points on obtaining this level of video? I’d be happy to tip the channel in exchange for the info. If that’s top secret info please consider sharing with me on Discord @anthonydigital 🏆🙌🏼😅🍀📈💡💸
Without question in my mind, we are in the beginning stages of a new Renaissance, one that will far surpass the one before it. I saw this first hand at Steemfest. Both of you had to leave, but the Saturday at the LX Factory was a visual display of this. Here we are in the 'art' district of Lisbon, surrounded by a creative / startup atmosphere Yet, all of us Steemians, all creators in our own right, having access to a platform to allow us to create in ways we did not know possible, develop skills and gifts that we didn't even know we possessed and enable us to treat our fellow man with respect of his or her gifts, it was very enlightening. I felt the overwhelming urge to try to share this with others passing by
Steemfest was such an amazing example! What an incredible meeting of minds, disciplines, backgrounds and passions. We were so sorry to miss the LX Factory but enjoyed seeing all of the amazing posts and stories that came out of it. The energy and momentum behind Steemfest and other Steem meetups around the world can't be understated. Thanks for your comment @noboxes, looking forward to SF3!
Steemit is going to change my life and the life of my community as a whole.
I have a strong believe that many people will still get to know this platform in Nigeria. I want to start visiting some universities and encourage young entrepreneurs especially the artist to not give up but hope for huge reward on steemit.
I noticed that there are great people here with kind mind. Always ready to help the newbies
Great post. Tons of value here. I work in an architectural technology field and whether is the lack of communication between parties, how undervalued I am to the company, or how far the industry technologically it hard to imagine myself gaining any real field experience.
In the short time I've been here I m confident to say the Steem blockchain is the future and freedom for creatives.
Architecture isnt freedom its a crutch.
Steem has potential to be larger than any known social media while acting like a successor to the internet or google itself.
I fully believe Steem will change our lives over the next few years.
Architecture won't really change anything in the grand scheme of this fast changing world. Architecture is still stuck in the past trying to catch up.
Comparing the state of architecture to the state of steem is like comparing a toy hasbro car to a Military Jet that can break the sound barrier.
Cheers guys. Keep up the work. It was so great hearing the perspective of guys in the Architecture/engineering field.
Thank you for sharing this @nwjordan! Definitely, architecture needs a jolt of 21st century exposure. (It might just be forced into it.) So much of architecture is about the process though, so perhaps (just maybe) steem could become a huge process-rewarding catalyst to push it in the right direction.
Yes, agreed and the process of architecture is really of the essence to the end product! I'd like to see architecture look backwards to the historical greats to glean the best of what they have to offer and move forward with technology to create healthy beautiful long lasting communities that bring out the best in human nature and are in alignment and support wholistic life on our planet.
interesting ur post....
steem is the future
Steem/Steemit.com has the ability to be extremely succesful in developing countrys. 10 cents for an upvote might be not much to us, but it can make a real difference in countrys where people only earn a few dollars a day. Internet use in those countrys is rising, more and more people are coming online and will discover this platform. Blockchain will change the life of those people and Steem/Steemit will be the entry point for them. Exciting times are ahead!
Absolutely, with blockchain and a cell phone - you can have a bank account in your pocket. Steem is already showcasing huge impact on communities around the globe that previously couldn't tap into global financial resources. A similar thing is happening with artists... where so much of their work wasn't earning or accruing money. Now, you can monetize your process! Process of creating, exploring, engaging. That 10 cents can go a very long way, very quickly,
That's very true. Developing countries are benefiting big time from steemit and it is just the beginning!
I really hope developing countries continue growing each and every day. That is my very own wish for my country, Venezuela. Meanwhile, I´ll continue to grow personally. The time will come for my country to grow too.
i am new here..and i stay learning in this post..and page the steemit
Amazing correlation isn't it? Revolutionary!
You got a 18.00% upvote from @steemyoda courtesy of @steemyoda!
Yes, steemit has revolutionised the concept of social media. It makes people to create things and explore your own ideas and discoveries. It helps to monitise your experience and ideology.
I think there should be some sort of incentives to good content creating minnows. I am not against the capitalism even I love it, it creates the compitition which is always good and keeps internal environment healthy. May be my thoughts are little immature but any ways I like you content and motivational attitude. Though my contribution will be too to be considered anyways I am voting.
