Contest: My 1000 followers (45 SBD + 500 SP Delegation)

in #cryptocurrency7 years ago (edited)

So well actually 1011 somehow...

I did miss the 100th follower, the 500th, even the 1000th... I'm just like that, running all the time not looking at the essential while chasing something bigger.

So i decided to make a contest to celebrate this one, and share this achievement as i tend to see the follower count as an indicator of how much trust have you build on your surrounding.

And it has been brought to my attention that i come out whinny and annoying while doing so, and speaking with an Argentinian friend we agreed that STEEMizens have all different levels of understanding what the block-chain and STEEM and steemit really are.

It actually comes from each individual reality and their own perception of their surroundings, and it is shaped by their own needs.

And well, that is a little the basis of this contest.

Let me give first some background information: At the highest levels of STEEM management there are two different trends which the people on each side tends to think they are totally incompatible, a great Steemizen* told me that there is no US and THEM and that is totally right.
*(that many might know or heard about it because even if he is still plankton has a loud voice and seems to be everywhere)


So this two trends of management of this block-chain and the big stake holders, the ones that believe in reproducing the Too-Big-to-Fail from our day to day outside this matrix society, those are the entrepreneurs, the business man... And there is this several-levels-of-anarcho humanists, that see in the block-chain technology the possibility of achieving a fairer society of opportunity based on mutual respect and selflessness.

It is really complicated if we see it in the terms of:

Us and Them


Us and them And after all we're only ordinary men Me and you God only knows It's not what we would choose to do Forward he cried from the rear

And the front rank died
And the general sat
And the lines on the map
Moved from side to side



But when it comes down to what matters, we are all humans, with different ideas and personalities and needs and hopes.

I have found some of both groups, belong to a third common one: The Free Thinkers, and those i have crossed and spent endless hours discussing and sharing views and ideas i have the honor to call friends today, have made me richer as a human than all the advice Haejin gave to his followers during the Bull market at the end of last year. (I am not one i just like to stir the hornet's nest it is something twisted in me that makes me do this lol)

From a post of one of those dreamers i have found and shared with, here


I wanted this contest to be meaningful and useful, for this I've chosen two pink floyd songs, and i will ask you to:

Tell me how you percieve/see steemit while listening to both songs

And analyzing the lyrics while you try to fit the words in your perception of this block-chain that some of us call home.

Those are the basis of the contest, now in order to qualify your entry i will do as many do, and request you to:

  • Write a post titled: Dreamer Contest: <Your entry name>
  • Drop the link in a comment here and explain your actual honest motivation to participate
    (Be brutally honest, don't try to sweeten your motives, let's make this and exercise in self evaluation
  • Upvote and ReSteem this post.
Or in @drakos words:

following three simple things. Read them carefully, I will not run after you to tell you if you missed any of the conditions.

There will be 3 winners

But everyone will win (from your own entry-post upvotes and from what you might realize or learn about yourself and STEEM while participating)

  • First place: 30 SBD
  • Second place: 15 SBD
  • Third place a delegation of 500 SP for 1 month renewable if used wisely.

(First and second place can choose a rented delegation from @minnowbooster for 1 month if that suits them better)

You can submit your entry until the very last second before this post payout.

The winners will be chosen from a preselection i will make and then discuss with people i respect and know.
This in the spirit of consensus that the block-chain governance is based on.

Well that is all... this is my Weirding Way of celebrating my 1000 followers in the spirit of the Atreides.

Oh yeah! Almost forgot...

Vote @castellano,

That is my witness and i would love to boast about how cool is being somewhere in the 100ths at least, like back when it ran under my username :)

Enjoy.
There will be a Spanish version of this post for the comunity i work and care for

Sort:  

Well my brotherazo, first of all ¡Congratulations! for your great accomplishments. :)
And my comment here, uhmm, just to let you know that I have joined the celebration and I'm also participating on this outstanding contest. }:)

And since one of the requirements to make official our entry into this contest is by dropping a brutally honest comment explaining our motives to participate. It is precisely why I am dropping this exactly 'stirring hornet's nest' one.

"My motivation is to spread initiatives and messages like this one to the confines and most recondite places of human consciousness"

It is always a very pleasant surprise and comforting experience suddenly realize that someone generously has extended you a hand and you have received a big present when you had not even expected nor requested it. ¡Thanks for that brother! }:)

I am positive, everyone here will want to win any of your yummy prizes on this contest and will try taste a piece of the awareness pie. And considering that I have already been one of the lucky ones that you already gave a piece to taste of that succulent cake that you were preparing beforehand. Now, I will give the opportunity to taste it to some other contestants too and I'll limit myself next to simply share the link to my post with the entry.

Oh! but of course brother, for 'someones' as twisted as you and The Pinky Cranky Gandalf you will have no choice but click the picture below to find it. And then, not only read it but also concurrently listen at the same time my answer to your musical questions. Since I'm also using to transport our 'between lines' messages thru the very same 'vehicle' we both enjoy so much.
Cheers!! }:)

This is my post link to the contest https://steemit.com/blockchain/@frankabelle/dreamer-contest-frankabelle
My reason for taking part in the contest is to be able to help other minnows that may find it discouraging during their early period in the steemit community. Although am still a minnow too a d being considered will make a great change. I will love to be able to make an impact and lend an helping hands where necessary.
Congratulations on your 1022+ followers.

!Hola @nnnarvaez! Me ocurrió algo muy gracioso con este post, porque de acuerdo a mi disposición de tiempo y mi habilidad (poca) en el inglés, lo leí en varias partes. Imagina mi quijada cuando al final del post vi que saldría en español, jajaja. De igual manera GRACIAS por la versión que viene en español, de lo contrario hubiera tenido que reeleer ésta, porque aun no estoy clara y no quiero perderme ningún detalle. Saludos.

nunca te hicieron ese coño test en el que habia como mil pasos y el primero era lea cuidadosamente, el segundo, escriba su nombre, mil vainas mas y el ultimo era: realize el paso 1 y 2 y entregue la hoja y tiene el dia libre?

jajaja...

Jajaja, no me había tocado, pero fue justo en lo que pensé.

im pink floyd fan ... im in, I want you to read how I interpret the first song, but i prefer the wall´Song .... P.D marico perdona mi ingles de open english ahi le doy ya poco a poco me certifico como c1

Hahaha tranquilo que viene la version en español.

Y si quieres discutir, tenemos la oficina de poner graficas de dinosaurios para hablar con el wisky y el habano en la mano!

pronto hablando con ese whisky y el habano en mano riendonos de estos momentos donde hasta la alcancia destape para comprar mas criptos

Nos veremos en la version en espanol, muchas gracias por esta iniciativa.

Una excelente idea, que a mi parecer, busca persuadir de alguna manera la relación de nuestros pensamientos con una melodia a traves de un escrito. Considero una excelente oportunidad para interpretar nuestra visión acerca de Steemit y la BlockChain en general, que sin duda es un mundo increiblemente potente.

Buena esa Rick! espero participar y divertirme un rato en este concurso.

Okey te respondiera en ingles pero apenas voy comenzando a estudiarlo asi que de escribir seria muchas cosas incoherentes. De verdad que felicidades @nnnarvaez llegar a 1000 seguidores no es dificil pero tampoco facil en esta red. Soy nuevo en la pagina asi que no creo que mi vote haga mucha diferencia pero igual cuentas con mi voto.

Saludos desde Venezuela.

This my entry to the contest that was motivated for two reasons: the first is that I found the topic interesting and I am a fan of Pink Floyd and the prize is very good and I would like to win it so I can buy some things. The second is because I would like to give a hulmide opinion of how Steemit could in a way help people even if they are not part of the community.

For those wondering what the hell i meant with...

weirding way

from: http://dune.wikia.com/wiki/Weirding_Way

Great idea of a contest, it is unique.

An observation, the third price seem to have more value than the 2nd price. Looking at it from the price of steem/SBD and how many steem it will require to get 500 SP for a month at minnowbooster...I may be wrong though.

Well done!

It is not about the cost, it is not about the value...
It is about the weirding ways...


The SBDs are yours to decide, the SP is for you to share ;)
Also the other two prices are convertible to rented SP.

Last time i checked was 200 SP per Steem per week so 4 weeks of 500 should amount to about 10 steem.

Maybe @reggaemuffing can shed some light?
