Hey everyone.

I am relatively new to SteemIt.

I was reading this article: https://lunyr.com/article/Steemit and the part about censorship doesn't make sense to me.

I think the author wrote it incorrectly, but I'm not sure.

Is it correct?

No, the author has written right. Steemit is basically a censorship resistant platform, at least from the central point of view. No body can delete what you post on Steemit, not even you. Although, yes, big whales can downvote your posts, and make them kinda hidden, but still not fully hidden. For example, on Facebook, you can delete your posts, facebook can delete your posts. On Steemit, nothing like this can happen.

I have a stupid question.... But I can't figure it out on my own.

If I buy STEEM on Bittrex, how do I transfer it to my SteemIT account?

All I can find is "Buy STEEM" and it takes me to blocktrades...

I just need an address to send it too, but STEEM only uses usernames... I just don't get it.

Your Steemit username is your wallet address. Just go ahead with it. It does not use any random alphanumeric addresses.

Besides your username which can be used as an address for depositing Steem in your Steemit account, you also need "memo key" which can be foun on your profile! Here's a nice post on Steemit which describes all process https://steemit.com/steem/@steempowerwhale/for-newbies-what-is-my-steemit-wallet-address-and-how-can-i-make-a-deposit-visual-step-by-step-help-guide-a-100-steem-power-up !
