RE: The founder of the Pirate Party joins to share liberty ideas with Steem
Hi Rick, my name is Ricardo, welcome to Steemit!
I must be one of the few people here who didn't know about you or your work. @jamesc told me today about you and your book Swarmwise.
I also can see from your introduction that you are looking to do great things and do lots of good for the world. You will find Steemit may even be a good fundraising source for your campaigns.
I am also passionate about doing good and changing the world, before Steemit.com I had no tools and no power, today I stand with an entire community and an initiative called @steemdrive which crowdfunds Steemit billboards globally via the Steem blockchain and the votes of our supporters, The first ever are already being flighted in my home city, Durban, South Africa after having raised a $26 000 pre-payout value on our first campaign introduction post.
The billboards are not just a publicity stunt, they are strategic; when the community eventually controls worldwide media, we can start sending messages of change and rallying the masses to make a real difference.
You should consider partnering with us on a billboard campaign to enhance your own, a caption like "The Pirate Party blogs on Steemit!" is an idea.
Let's change the world!
Sincerely,
Ricardo Goncalves

Hi Ricardo, and thank you for the cordial welcome!
I do sense that there's a lot of passion for changing the world for the better here, I'm really feeling right at home.
Could you elaborate on what "making a billboard" means in the Steemit context?
Cheers,
Rick
Hi Rick, thanks you for your kind reply.
To best explain the @steemdrive billboard campaign; you may like to visit our blog at https://www.steemit.com/@steemdrive , the campaign is only two weeks old but we have already flighted advertising billboards in South Africa and have 20 volunteers world-wide collaborating in a private chat channel planning more campaigns world wide.
If you would like to join as liaison for your area or region of influence, it would be our honour to have you. Liaisons basically help us obtain quotes from billboard advertising agencies in their country and write up content to motivate the community to vote to raise funds for placement thereof. We then post the campaign under @steemdrive and the entire team collaborates to promote the campaign and garner as many votes as possible. As liaison you are able to suggest co-brand topics alongside the Steemit brand, for example you could elect to do a billboard with the theme of freedom and liberty along with the Steemit branding referring back to a particular Steemit tag if need be, or use it to co-promote the Pirate Party if you like.
As compensation for their efforts, the liaisons receive 20% of the SBD raised in their particular campaign, which can either go to themselves or towards whatever cause they wish. The rest of the funds go towards paying for and maximizing the billboard flight time.
If you would like to be involved in this great cause, you are welcome to pm me in steemit.chat , my name there is thecryptodrive or I have also sent you a Linkedin invite if that is easier.
Sincerly,
Ricardo Goncalves
