Steem community is a growing platform that has been around for just over three years. The platform has been through a lot of changes and upgrades over time and after 21 hardforks, it has evolved into what we have today. In that period, it has developed into one of the best blockchains in the world and was recognized as the 3rd best blockchain technology in China.
