Where I get to know Mirror…
---------------------------

One day when I was browsing Twitter, I saw someone retweet a post from Mirror, and then I started to follow news regarding Mirror on Twitter. As of yesterday, Mirror announced that they are now open to all!!! This leads me to here.

What I think is fascinating is that we can start to use blockchain technologies to store articles/blogs written by an individual, thus ensuring that no one can simply edit the articles posted by you and prove that the article belongs to you.

Other than that, you can even mint your own article/blog post as NFT in Mirror!!! Which makes me fascinated about it. (As I can observe the usage of NFT is getting wider)

Besides, you can also crowdfund through Mirror as well by adding a Crowdfund block in the editor. People who are interested can back your project; thus, it can also serve as a decentralized crowdfunding platform to some extent. (I can think of use cases for such as project and charity crowdfunding)

These are some features that make me interested in getting to the platform, and I do like platform like Mirror can replace centralized platforms such as Medium, and people from the crypto space and slowly move to Mirror.
