New Blockchain social media platform speaks with a Russian ‘Voice’

With cyber.Fund using Steemit as a template, Voice is intended to cater to the uniqueness of the Russian people, as contributions to the Steemit website are primarily in English, although there are posts in a few other languages. In an official release by Bitcoin Conference Russia, cyber.Fund stated that they looked to create a decentralized social network for authors, bloggers and journalists to be able to publish their work, leveraging the immutability of the blockchain to circumvent censorship.

Steem is a new class of cryptocurrency that is generated by the activity of the people on its social media component. It’s similar to Reddit, Twitter, Instagram or Facebook, in that users can make and comment on posts, upload images, and post links to streaming video or audio, but unlike these social media platforms, users creating and curating the content are paid for their efforts, as their participation generates the cryptocurrency applied to their wallets.
