✨ So Many Great Things on The Way - Celebrating My 35th Week on Steemit!

It seems like every week we have more great announcements for upcoming projects and platforms that will help provide everyone with more options to earn rewards for their content. At first you may find this to be an overwhelming proposition, keeping track of so many different accounts to post on multiple platforms, but it's no different than what everyone already does with current 'non-paying' centralized social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, etc.

The upside will be well worth the effort. You will have genre-specific communities popping up that will allow you to share your content with people you know will accept what you create with open arms and reward you fairly for your efforts and contributions. This will help lower the level of hostility and content censorship you have with a single platform scenario like we have now. Imagine posting your content on 3 or 4 crypto-backed blockchain sites and getting rewarded for it on all of them. Even if your content is controversial on one or more, and you take heat for it, you will be well-received on others.

As I have been saying for a while now, 2018 will be a great year for all of us willing to keep our eyes and options open. Thank you to everyone who helped make it another great week, my 35th here on Steemit.

BeyondBitcoin / Whaleshares

I am happy to be coordinating and judging the weekly art and community building challenges for @OfficialFuzzy. These challenges are a great way to bring people together and spread the work about important topics in a fun way that people will remember. As I mentioned before, I am no longer in the running for any of the challenge rewards since I am helping to coordinate and judge the entries, but I will always participate just for fun to add my point-of-view to the mix.

This past week we continued with a few multi-week challenges and the second in a new series of EOSTalk Meetup Art Challenges that will add to the Meetup Support Toolkit. I am proud of everyone who too the time to participate in the different challenges, these help build the community and open up opportunities for even more people to earn rewards here on Steemit.

Our current challenges/opportunities:

💖 Project "MilkBox" Logo Contest
[BeyondBit & EOSBit Prizes Inside]

💬 Tokens4Tweets Challenge | Project "MilkBox" Logo Contest
Share Your Twitter Voice for WHALESHAREs!

🚀 Ongoing EOS.IO MeetUp Challenge REMINDER - Open to Everyone
[EOSBit Prizes Inside]

Remember, even if you don't have art/design skills, you can still earn Whaleshares for helping us spread the word about these challenges on Twitter with the associated Tokens for Tweets challenges.

EOSTalk Live is Growing Fast

Our LIVE Tuesday night webcast has been gaining momentum over the past few weeks. We had some technical difficulties this past Tuesday which forced us to reschedule our interview of the EOS New York Team to next week. Be sure to tune in on February 20th at 8PM EST. Then join us in the EOSTalk After party in Discord to continue the discussion with everyone.

More announcements about @OfficialFuzzy's EOS Angels project which plans to bring an exciting new decentralized venture capital options to developers of DApps being built on the EOSIO software will be coming in future weeks. This will include full sharedrops on EOS Token holders. You can read the full announcement here.

Each week we discuss the development of EOSIO, the benefits of DApp projects being built on it, and some of the governance standards being built in. Join us each Tuesday at 8PM EST.

DApp/Project Announcements

📢Smoke Network
The new Smoke Network website has been launched and a new UX prototype is live for everyone to check out. They hope the new designs and site layout will give a clearer insight into the project going forward this quarter. Note, you won't find info posted on Steemit anymore since they were attacked and downvoted for promoting their platform here.

📢Peerity
A little birdie told me that some exciting news is coming very soon, {cough}{cough}{sharedop} but we will have to wait to hear how this project is coming along in their official announcement post. Peerity is a distributed, democratic network designed to give you back control over your shared content and data while building social connections online and offline.

📢 VICE Network
For those following along with the VICE Token crowdsale, as I noted before, the date was pushed back 2 weeks and is now set for February 20, with whitelist access starting a day early on February 19. The recent double dip in crypto prices as we retested the lows this week it made us all a bit nervous on the timing, but ETH has been slowly creeping its way back up to $1,000 where we were at on the original crowdsale date. Fingers Crossed!

📢 DPORN.CO
After @o0pepper0o introduced me to Dporn.co and the PORND Token on the bitshares DEX I decided to check it out. The tokens are a “stake” in the platform and will earn dividends daily ( shared profit from the site). Be sure to check out the DPorn Discord to get more info on this. Thanks again Pepper!
