I have seen mention of Steem Basic Income for a while now, but I have never really taken the time to read about it. Things to do, things to do, no time to stop and research every little thing that catches my eye. You know how it is.

A few weeks ago, my good pal @kaliju signed me up for two shares of it. I was very grateful, but again didn't really have the time to see what exactly it was, just assumed I now had an extra penny upvote on each post and went on with my day.

Well, having seen mention of it in my feed for the umpteenth time, curiosity finally got the better of me and I went in search of what it is. Rather than me try to explain it, go read this post.

One neat thing they do is they ask you to sponsor other users if you want to buy shares for yourself. A great idea for spreading the wealth. With that in mind, I propose to start a contest of sorts. Credit where credit is due: this idea is entirely taken from @arunava who does the same thing. @arunava, I hope you won't mind me borrowing your idea.

If you want to win a share of Steem Basic Income, follow these rules.

1. Upvote this post and resteem it. This will help me sponsor more users in the future.
