RE: [Whaletank Special Announcement] Beyond Bitcoin Hangout #215 - 7/14/17 - (1000+ of Steem in Awards!)
@officialfuzzy - The number of people suffering in silence due to depression often take their lives because they don't have anyone to share their sorrows. I lost a friend last month to depression and hence I had started a Suicide awareness campaign to lend a ear to those depressed souls and be a reason for them getting back their life.
It is time for people to speak up and stand as an example for showcasing their spirit in tough times, such people will be rewarded with token (Whaleshares/beyondbits/ new token we create). This will create a huge platform on steemit and will be an excellant opportunity to give back something to society.
Project/Topic Name/News Piece : Steemit Suicide Awareness Campaign
Relevant Steemit Tag : Suicide Awareness Cause
Appropriate links to share: Steemit Suicide Awareness Alert- Join The Cause
Steemit and/or Mumble account name of Representative/Speaker : Steemit @rideofpassion Mumble : @rideofpassion
How should we Introduce you/your project/your news coverage: A Cause to lend a ear for those depressed souls and save their lives
What is your bitshares account name: ride-of-passion
Kindly provide one chance to discuss the concept with you on our weekly Beyond Bit or whaleshares Hangout!!
I love this idea but would definitely have to think about how a token may benefit.
Maybe people telling their own stories of dealing with the suicide of a loved one. So those who are considering it will think about those people who they leave behind who would have wanted to be there for them. :)
Or maybe rent some real help with the token ( psihological ) ?
@officialfuzzy - There are few ways we can think of, and finalize on the best way to give out tokens
We may also invite few more ideas to consider, but this is a large issue and we all go through that phase in life where we come under depression, I was under depression too when my first love was a failure.... But many of them will not be lucky enuf to get people around them when they are suffering in silence....We are creating a huge platform to voice out and address such issues which the world is facing irrespective of what country we come from. One more advantage is none of us are connected personally here, so people will feel secure to share their stories with a stranger where they dont have to be feared of being judged.
