How does the #Blockchain #Steemit work? (update 11-1)

My first acquaintance with - Steemit. - Yeah was in June 2017
In June 2017 I already wrote a blog about to gauge who were members on the platform, - Steemit. - Yeah , but I didn't really have the time because of the circumstances to figure out how everything works. In the meantime I have seen several Yoorsies become members there, and also successfully I saw a few days ago!
For me at the time: I had already mastered Yoors, so I only drew my attention to Yoors at times of hustle and many changes in our lives. Still it still tickled, and 3 months ago I quickly checked my earned Steem Dollars and account value. I unfortunately had to see that my account value of 55 dollars (with only a few drawings posts of my mandala animals that are also here) I believe at its lowest 32 dollars.
At that moment I left it for a moment, and thought it will come after emigration. And so it happened that last weekend I decided to log in again, and saw that my account value was now 73 dollars:) And that after 3 months of not active. Below is a summary of what - Steemit. - Yeah is according to Wikipedia:
- Steemit. - Yeah is a blogging and social networking website on top of the Steem blockchain database. The Steem blockchain produce STEEM and Steem Dollars which are tradeable tokens users obtain for posting, discovering, and commenting on interesting content.
Ook is het mij onduidelijk of alleen reply (reageren) mee delen is of moet je reply + upvote hiervoor doen of alleen upvote?
Alleen, ben ik niet goed in het engels, dus ga ik proberen gewon in het nederlands te posten.
Verdien je er dan echt zo veel mee? :o en hoe laat je je da uitbetalen?
Ik hou het bij Yoors!
