Lesson 1 Logo Competition - TIME is the subject - Ends June 30

in #steemjet7 years ago (edited)

The Official Steemjet Logo Competition is over

@shartzy won

We have scheduled 4 NEW art competitions

One for each of the 4 steemjet lessons.

Lesson 1 Logo - TIME - First Prize $1000 - starts now ends June 30
Lesson 2 Logo - GOLD - starts later in an official post like this
Lesson 3 Logo - (to be announced)
Lesson 4 Logo - (to be announced)

Contestants for the next 4 competitions will be judged against the high standard set by shartzy

We need to have a simple logo for each of the 4 lessons that we will be teaching in each city we arrive at.

So here it is. The first of the next 4 logo competitions.

The rules are just like before. One grand prize winner of $1000 in upvotes and a steembath for the rest of the contestants.

Also, most of you here have now been commissioned to give us one artwork from yourself. This is a gift from steemjet to see which artists really have what it takes to be a pro, and which just got lucky. As mentioned before, we will pay artists who build effective tools that we can use. But now you see that we not only plan on paying artists what they are worth, but we plan on retaining the best ones on staff.

Your commissioned work can be of any style, topic, medium, and can take you as long as you like to complete it. You do not need to submit your commissioned piece in the competition, but feel free to. Everyone is eligible to compete in the next 4 logo competitions.

Lesson 1 Logo Competition- Since we all can agree as humans, that time is our most valuable asset, we can measure bitcoin to be of more value than gold as our universally recognized value store because it takes us less time to learn the total number of bitcoins than it does for us to learn the total number of gold ounces in the universe.

Trust is measured in certainty, and it is this very certainty concerning the total amount of bitcoins vs the unknown amount of gold in existance that makes bitcoin better money (more certain quantity-wise) than gold.

Any kid who realizes that time is money, and that our time on earth is also finite can then build upon that knowledge and realize that only a finite item can be certain to hold its value against our personal time.

How do we know that time is our most valuable asset?

What would you rather have a zillion dollars and 2 seconds to live or a lifetime to spend $1000 steem? The moment a child grasps the concept of time, they know that life is prescious and to value time is to value life.

Those of us who are young are VERY rich because we will be here long after older people are gone. Young are very powerful because of their ability to survive long stretches of meditative time without pain. But the young have had a very dificult time finding a proxy (un-edible physical exchange item) for their time that holds value over the course of their lives.

Enter, the most universaly recognized known quantity asset (bitcoin) in the world. Bitcoin has a known quantity while the current king of the golden throne (gold) has an unknown total quantity. This puts bitcoin in an asset class that is more scarce than even gold.

So where does steem fit in?

STEEM helps bitcoin fill the nich that neither gold nor bitcoin can fill. STEEM provides free nanotransactions that neither BTC nor gold can ever service, and this is the small claim to the golden throne that steem has. The golden throne is just the job of "known quantity item agreed upon by community consensus to act as official or most common sense item for value storage for humans".

Since STEEM is a FREE CURRENCY it offers what gold and bitcoin cannot. Free transactions of any size. STEEM is not the only free currency. Many cryptocurrencies offer prices that are comparable to our "free" price tag and when bitcoin goes to segwit speeds the competition is on so that they will be directly competing with us for nanotransactions once again, because bitcoin transactions used to be nearly free, and they probably will be again.

But what STEEM must do while bitcoin is allowing us to claim some of its market share during this temporary period of insanely high transaction costs, is to distribute itself to places untouched by bitcoin to establish a counter-revolution to the bitcoin revolution. To see people like us using steem more than they use bitcoin is a way for us to counteract the first mover advantage to the golden throne that Bitcoin has, and potentially propel us to a new area of our studies where we can break down the market share of the golden throne and identify what impact on the golden throne that a pow vs pos vs constant inflation to incentivize miners vs zero inflation to preserve securely known quantities can achieve. This is pretty far down the rabbit hole, but I just wanted to show you where we are heading. We are going to attempt to show that gold has only fulfilled a subset of our requrements for money in the past and now we are going to use different assets to fulfill our diverse monetary requirements as humans.

STEEMJET has taken on the job of teaching the fact that STEEM is the first and most universally recognised FREE CURRENCY. It is not going to be easy, but will require us to continue with our hard work spreading steem globally. Anything that can help in the distribution and adoption or use of STEEM currently will help its acceptance and adoption grow.

The most widely recognized known quantity asset gives it the claim to the golden throne (the job of acting as money for humans). But historically money required a separate currency to help it move, and this is where silver got its job (to make trading tiny amounts of gold more fair and easy) and this is exactly where LTC/STEEM/NANO now serve to remove friction from the bitcoin-as-money/currency payment/trade system in the same way that silver is easier to buy your lunch with than gold is.

This is our niche. Embrace it. Learn to love it.

Adding utility like SMT will also raise the utility value of steem (Lesson 4). We will never see the market cap of steem surpass that of bitcoin, but if we can at least preserve ourmarket share as the most widely distributed nanotransferable (FREE) currency while the devs release smart media token utility on top of the currency, then our market cap will rise faster than that of bitcoin.

Will bitcoin miners lower transaction costs to squeeze us out? They most certainly will.

Fact, Litecoin just lowered their transaction fees in direct response to us and NANO who are all competing for the same nanotransaction niche. Our fears are being realized. The next shoe to drop is that bitcoin will go segwit which means that their speed goes up and the costs to send BTC transactions goes down. This is why Ned and the dev team are forced to launch SMT capability to improve our standing in Lesson 4.

And as litecoin adds atomic swaps to compete with our SMT, the competition is only going to get tougher however in Lesson 4 so don't think that our work here for steem to be regarded universally as the world's first free currency is going to be over anytime soon. This is why we pay good hot steem to talented individuals who are effective in promoting ideas and distributing steem.

We are now writing a textbook for the youth, which requires many pictures.

And now the community is free to use past images to stand on the shoulders of all the superstars artists and fuse past images with your favorite concept of time or design your own uniquely inspired interpretation. Make us feel exactly how important and valuable your time is and thats why we choose known-quantity-assets to trade our time and effort for.

Historically Gold has acted as the best "UNIVERSALLY RECOGNIZED non-edible store of value physical asset to value in exchange for your time". Gold served just as a service to humans that can and is now losing market share to a version of value that is virtual (so less robust in an earthquake), but truly finite (so more secure against counterfeit, cloning, synthesis, etc). When the electricity goes out, the value of gold plummets and the value of food rises. Gold used to hold its value no matter if the candles were lit or not, and only declined in times of war or famine, which would occur today if the lights went out, so therefore, historical conditions are similar to now. Back then gold was the fair weather (political climate) store of value and food was king during famine and war. Now, bitcoin serves the purpose of "money when we re not starving" better than anything out there.

lesson 1 - What is the crypto market (what does it serve us humans) and what is bitcoin's share of it exactly. Because time is our most valuable asset, we can measure bitcoin to be of more value than gold as universally recognized value store because it takes us less time to learn the total number of bitcoins than it does for us to learn the total number of gold ounces in the world.

Lesson 2 - Exactly what share of the crypto market is left to be serviced by altcoins? Which markets can bitcoin NOT serve, and which subsets or parts of the money/currency markets is bitcoin unable to service?

Next lessons will touch on:

Does your favorite crypto mining incentive (emmission rate/inflation) decline over time (halvings) requiring your miners to continually charge fees forever?

Do the miners of your limited asset have no other incentive to secure a node except to have the ability to accept a free and instant value exchange?

Is your asset inflating at a constant rate to ensure eternal security/utility/service?

History tells us with gold and silver that we only need one agreed upon store of value and maybe another crypto to act as silver or currency and that can solve most of our economic trading issues.

But how many different smart contract platforms do we need? It depends on the service. This is where lessons 3 and 4 go. The change in lifestyle of humans when bitcoin was first invented made a gigantic impact on our species becasue the store of value and currency businesses were highly lucrative and dominated by gold silver and debt currencies providing imeasurable utility. This is why bitcoin keeps going up As other businesses become disintermediated, our lives will change less drastically each time. This is why bitcoin is still going up at a pace faster than the competition because there is not much actual competition for a real share of the gold, silver, and currency markets. And the real competition for the golden throne is gaining only very slowly due to diminishing returns, that we must look at historical aggregates to predict future moves.

The market cap of the currency market / currency business is much larger than that of the next most-lucrative service related business that other utility coins are looking to affect. Therefore, the returns diminish and risk increases the further away from the currency markets (altcoins) you invest into.

When steem was invented, it only made an incremental benefit to the gold/silver/currency market becasue we already had bitcoin as an accepted superior limited value asset to store value absorbing much of the marketshare for crypto in that sector.

So what does steem provide that bitcoin cannot and what part of gold's market share can we take?

Steem is going to take a different percentage of market share from bitcoin as limited asset of choice than the percentage of market share that steem will take from myspace in the blogosphere/personal webpage space. And this is where we reach our current limits of understanding due to lack of insight into the STEEM roadmap.

But that's Lesson 1 in a nutshell.

So the most lucrative jobs that serve people most are going to be disintermediated by blockchains first. Then the next most high margin business follow suit (currency, sex, drugs, etc). Not all at once, but it will take time to see this develop.

Therefore, Lesson 1 is the lesson that we all know already. A common assumption for our discussion that is true in all languages and cultures. Time is money.

Your submission can be any color/style/type/genre/medium

First Prize $1000 and a budget of about $5000 for the runners up

The winning image we are looking for is as simple and effective as shartzy's masterpiece here, but incorporates the concept of time like shartsy had inadvertantly done below adding this image to his clock which inspired this competition :

So far we have mbj in the lead with a rather polished looking disco vibe signaling the permanent electified future that we have attained through the knowledge of cheap electricity. Which could only equal one thing. A permanent party!

Check it out - The Electrified Future

Not to be outdone, @meher04 has ventured to the root of the life and death (time) which we need in order to survive, live, and thrive:

The superimposed eyes shut skull appears to be smiling as comprehension of this universal truth is continualy realized by their individual soul

These concepts by jogreh show how difficult it is to superimpose so many elements into 1 image. Clock hands, plane, steem logo, feeling of motion... It's not easy to do this without crowding or obfuscating the elements.


@shuta removes the hands of the clock all together and accomplishes their purpose with a stopwatch. Good idea

@yatri has given us this amazing timepiecec

Everything is elegant except the jet. The tiny minute hand and circular elements with bold color is striking. Perfect hexagon. Plenty of black space there for something to jump out. I told you that these elements would be difficult to deal with. The up close approach might be too hard to pull off which is why this next style might work better:

and @deandaniels continues to inspire complex dreams!



The clocks look like candy or toys and the colors are nice which is effective in getting the attention of a child. Lessons 2, 3, & 4 will become progressively more difficult to explain. Therefore, I like this "busy child textbook" approach that deandaniels has taken to pictoralize Lesson 1.

I am challenging the rest of the contestants to take note of this directional refocus of the steemjet curriculum:

How early is too early to learn about money? Can kids these ages truly grasp these concepts?

Lesson 1 - Ages 5 and up - Why Own Crypto? - Time is Money (what is the crypto market and what is bitcoin's share of it?)

Lesson 2 - Age 8 - Who Owns Your Crypto? - The lemming/laziness/FOMO/peer pressure/network effect/first mover advantgage phenomenon (the altcoin share of the cryptomarket)

Lesson 3 - Age 12 - What does it cost me?

Lesson 4 - Age 16 - What else can I do with it?

Reducing the ages of comprehension of each Lesson is the next step on the roadmap to launch.

The concept of multiple clocks is mindblowing and might be what we need to teach young minds that time is money - by bobmarding their subconscious with infinite time iterations which add up to the present moment. A way to breakdown moving time is infinite moments. The shatter of fractal and infinity to trigger the inate realization that our life is temporary and we need time to live it, but how does one obtain or purchase time?

TLDR:

Since OUR time is finite, then OUR money is going to be a finite asset which we choose to store our finite work (over time) into.

How can one man be so damn inspirational! @deandaniels is at it again!

edit (there will be at least 2 top prizes of $1000)

HOW DO YOU BUY TIME?

Certainly not by purchasing an asset of unknown quantity.

@dimimp, i think the best wy to connect to each other is using the discord app, dont know if you've heard of it , we use the discord app, create a group and also make post on steemit which the link would be always shown, and via the discord app i think from there we can talk better and lso share our peresonal ideas to you and also the community

This is my entry @dimimp

sure this is really amazing

the hour glass design it's really ingenious

Since no one thought of the hour glass design. I decided to give her a shot

then we can have radio shows and talk shows as well..

Nice idea. But we are communicating nice here already

That's one solid idea.. Been thinking of that tooo

There is a server on discord app already with about 27 members already and still growing. @dimimp this is an update on the discord server created.

Wherr are the fucking whales ? We want this post in trending page.

Lol!.. Go easy

I tell you man.. but we could do it ourselves you know

please easy with the F word

Your submission can be any color/style/type/genre/medium, just floor us or stay home because we already have a powerhouse team of artists, and I have a ton of work cut out for me.

I think this is good as it gives us the opportunity to explore and make do with whatever idea we have in us while sticking to the rules of the game which is the shartzy model.

@dimimp I think this would help the community https://steemit.com/steemjet/@kilatunzii/steemjet-community-on-discord

I created a server on discord for the SteemJET Community, hope you like it and it moves communication between member forward so we can easily share and execute ideas

Lets do this!! #teamSteemJET

7/493 I'm powering up more because of people like you who are coming here to help us!

Amazing.
Great work pal

The center topic of the discussion of Lesson 1: Time is the most valuable asset to us. Those of us who are young are VERY rich because we will be here long after those old people are gone.

I am pretty much excited that we are starting off with time as our first lesson. It is good that you acknowledged time as a master piece and every other thing we do on this project has to revolve around time. Perhaps this is the reason we have been able to deliver on time every single task you have delegated to us. Lol

Perhaps this is the reason we have been able to deliver on time every single task you have delegated to us

This is true ....I wasn't conscious of this before. Now that you mentioned it .. i agree with you

I am happy to play my part... My time is money logo is ready. I'll put it at the top of the blog for easy viewing.

still awed by this.. amazing design dear

Glad you like 😁😁

BECAUSE time is money, your time spent working on STEEM adoption, is adding signicant value to the wallets of every steemian.

MY BOSS @dimimp I AM HERE AGAIN WITH THIS TOKEN OF APPRECIATION !!!
#PLEASE-ACCEPT-IT!!!
STEEMJET MASTER.jpg
STEEMJET MASTER 3.jpg

Don't blame me!! instead advice me!! I was only looking for a way to thank this wonderful man (@dimimp) for his great supports and initiatives he is giving to us. I was very happy when i saw that my design is selected for $500 reward. i couldn't have imagined that high. I was overwhelmed!!

This is the greatest achievement i have made here on #steemit ecosystem.

I used the Name " DEAN DANIELS" on the card because for me "he is the first son of steemjet"

And for our Boss @dimimp, i will say "you will always get better than this" God bless you" keep up your good work and keep helping us to grow"

I am still your boy @mbj

wow great job man !! this is really a creative capacity!! Our boss @dimimp will love this.. steem up bro.

looks good @mbj

Hey, I'm new here. On this page and on steemit, how do I go about this?
I need support!

Nice idea. But we are communicating nice here already..thanks for sharing sir..Always love and respect sir @dimimp

Yes.gif

I volunteer to be the first pilot and captain of steemjet community.

Thanks @dimimip😍
Long live steemjet

Great aspirations man

You upvote your own comment but not the original post ..why??

Sometimes I do wish my voting power was worth $1,000. I will gladly upvote all the posts and comments of a very kind man like @dimimp, who has always shown me maximum love.
At this point where steem prize is low my voting power is worth 0.0. Honestly I used it to upvote and bring my comment to the top so that @dimimp can share my ideas.

You will also do so well if you delegate some steempower to my blog I'll be voting u and @dimimp without ever getting tired of it.

Anyways I have upvoted the post but my steem power didn't even give it a lift

i already mentioned it does not matter your vote value....its not about the reward..if you like someone work or someone's post please consider vote it shows that you like content..it encourage the content creator ...

You have a good character for a leader, I will vote you for captain.

It's true but would be nice to see lots of upcotes on this post.

Your power will grow as steemjet takes off

Thanks boss
I appreciate you
I pledge to be loyally upvoting you as my master when I achieve this.

Generous thinking

@dimimp deserves all the best

i like your spirit my friend...

Am not sure it's filled, if it is @dimimp will not be looking for someone else.

You are right @egetex
I had to read the post again...
Thank you

I think of @deandaniel, he should be the captain.

Yai me 2

Yeah me too, and a whole lot more.

then Hyper Speed Success is your portion.
smiles

Thanks man.
I'm never gonna let the steemjet crash

Hey lady.....Am no man.

I was actually replying @shuta not u.
Loook at it well

Lmao. Ona no go kill me

Lol make una leave the babe nah..

Yeah come to think of it, lets see if @deandaniel will take the responsibility.

Am capable.
I can handle it

You can bro. You should

Great one.

We have to vote you though, convince us and you'll get our upvotes.

Do you read before you reply or you just reply?

What is this one saying?

Hahaha. No mind that girl

I love this spirit. Of comradeship and a leader,

Thanks man.

Yeah man....true talk.

I volunteer to be the first pilot and captain of steemjet community.

Nice one bro but I also volunteer, so how's it gonna be...is there going to be a contest to this?

We don't need a contest cause we are not politicians. Thats why I nominated me

The steemjet hanger should be located at Kingslanding😊😊😊

Should be taking off from my blog😉😂😂😉

This is not a joke we should be more concerned about the task.

Babe we cannot be too serious all the time. Don't make life seem so furious

Lol...She's got the spirit of leadership running in her veins

Lol that's good for her and maybe for us as well

Lol. Baba the baba. I believe you.

Give us your manifesto then carry go.

Sure man!...

The steemjet hanger should be located at Kingslanding

Hahahah where is kingslanding in real life?

Lol.
Kingslanding on steemit is at @dimimp blog. You can see the castle and the dungeon at his blog😂😂😂

Lol....or castle rock, he built it

Baba really wants to be captain o.
Show us what you can do let's vote for you.

Lol make I just dey like dele
