Bilpcoin is the latest addition to a growing number of tribes that have joined the Steem Universe.
Bilpcoin describes itself as the tribe for the whole community ...

money, cryptocurrency, music, and gaming

Trying to give credit where credit is do: I wanted to write up a post about Bilpcoin after seeing @ironshield's recent post about the same. You can check out his post by clicking here.
Bilpcoin Frontend
You can access the Bilpcoin Frontend by going to https://www.bilpcoin.com.
The Bilpcoin UI will have a similar look and feel to Steemit.com with some minor differences. You can log into https://bilpcoin.com with Steem KeyChain (which has become my preferred login method).
Gaining BPC (The Bilpcoin Token)
As with most new tribes and associated tokens, BPC can be staked. Staking allows a user to earn curation rewards and provide upvotes to community members that use the #bilpcoin hashtag. Click here to learn more about the benefits of staking.
You can also earn BPC by writing quality content while using the #bilpcoin tag.
If you prefer to purchase BPC, you can do so at Steem-Engine (https://steem-engine.com/?p=market&t=BPC). There is a large sell order of BPC at a price of 1 BPC to 0.008 STEEM.
For example, if you decided to purchase 5000 BPC, your order would cost 40 Steem (roughly 7 USD at today Steem price of $0.174).
A 100% upvote with 5000 stake BPC will result in a payout of 48.8 BPC as of the posting of this article:
A Cool Feature
When you go to the Advanced Settings link, the following screen will appear.
You can assign how the rewards you receive will be distributed. The default option is that you will receive 100% of the rewards, but you could designate rewards to go to another Steem user.
Final Thoughts
As with all new projects, communities, tribes, etc. I would expect some growing pains. So far I have been impressed with @bilpcoin addressing peoples' concerns in the comments section.
Nothing in this post is intended as financial advice, but rather a starting point for you to explore a new Steem tribe. I did purchase 5000 BPC (they have been staked). I feel that a $7-8 investment today is worth the risk and the reward that might
present itself in the future.
As always, do you own research and never invest money you can not afford to lose. I look forward to seeing you around the Bilpcoin Tribe and other parts of the Steem Universe.
Thank for stopping by!
