ACHIEVEMENT 5 - TASK 2 : UNDERSTANDING THE STEEM TOOLS. TOPIC: REVIEW ON STEEMSCAN.COM BY @emmanuel096

Good day dear steemians!

Trust your day all went well (is going well)? Having done a lot of my achievements, with few still pending, which I will most certainly finish, I decided to proceed /take it a step further today. The eyes of my understanding has most certainly be enlightened as touching tools on steem ecosystem which I have learnt aids any steemian transaction on the steemit platform. And as a recap, I understood the working mechanism of one of the most useful tool for we steemians which is steemworld.org. This platform with reference to others, as I have learnt, are best defined in terms of there functionalities as a user friendly stemit transaction tools. Other tools includes: steemyy.com, steemdb.io, steemworld.org, and as our major focus in the post, steemscan.com

Having read the post by @yohan2on titled "Understanding Steem tools part 2 – Review Steemscan [Achievement 5]" I have come to terms that as touching withdraw algorithm in steemit platform, the role of knowledge can not be overemphasized, and if taken for granted, such a user stand the risk of having a dependent manner of withdrawal, which is not best advised - security wise, and stand the possibility of being taken advantage of, by fellow floks. As @yohan2on said;

"I remember back in the days when I had just started blogging on Steemit, I had no idea of how to withdraw my earned steem. It was a very puzzling moment for me as I had to heavily rely on other old steemians for help in executing withdraws for me. They always charged me some fees for helping me out in the withdraw process."

Knowledge therefore is optimum!

Concerning steemscan, I have understand how that such a platform was built on the steem block chain, defined as a steem tool (apparently) Used for your transaction on steemit. But more specifically, it serves the purpose of converting steem into other cryptocurrency. Fun isn't it?😁

Without further ado, let's proceed to the discussion of the day. I will profoundly be sharing my knowledge about my understanding of Steemscan based on the following questions:
