Show off Steem to those around you, and #wearyoursteem!
#wearyoursteem is a new initiative to help encourage the real-world promotion of the Steem Blockchain!
Long story short, I got a STEEM tattoo on my hands... and promoted it in the @whaleshares Promote Your Post Live Show on the Whaleshares Discord Server, hosted by @freedomexists. This inspired @el-cr to shave his hair into a STEEM logo!!
This got my creative juices and motivation flowing, so I suggested the two of us team up to create a tag centered around wearing one's STEEM! @el-cr made a post a couple days ago, and now I'm here to announce the creation of the #wearyoursteem initiative! This will be a great way for Steemians everywhere to get involved with promoting the Steem Blockchain!
There are tons of people out there already wearing their STEEM proudly, showing off our amazing network to everyone they interact with! I've seen tons of T-shirts, hats, beanies, and hoodies. I've seen a wallet, and scarves. There are so many ways to #wearyoursteem, and we need more!
This is a call to anyone who can make or design clothes!
The people want more STEEM merch! Build it, and they will come. Design some cool STEEM clothes, and use the #wearyoursteem tag to talk about them, sell them, or even give them away! This initiative has a lot of potential to become something really cool for the awareness of our humble Blockchain, and the list of ideas for the tag is already growing!
Some things I would love to personally see the community create that I haven't seen yet:
Pants
An embroidered pair of jeans, or some decked out leggings...Shoes
Custom made, or a fancy paint job, I've yet to seem some STEEMkicks!Underwear
This one may not be to promote STEEM to the masses (unless you're into that), but, let's get STEEMY in the bedroom ;)
Ties
I personally want a STEEMtie very much! I have a lot of meetings with community influencers coming up, as I build @thesteemhouse makerspace in my hometown. I have created a design (right) that I would like printed on a tie (ideally a bow-tie, but I'd buy both!). I would love to get in contact with someone who could make me a tie or two with this design. I am willing to pay in STEEM or SBD, and the price for such a service can be negotiated.Jewelry
Guarantee, there is a HUGE market for some STEEM jewelry. Necklaces, earrings, name it!
The possibilities are endless!
@el-cr and I will be coordinating a contest/challenge around this tag, rewarding those who show off their Steem in creative ways! Follow us to keep up to date on developments!
Some things that should be brought up:
This initiative is to the promote the entire STEEM ecosystem. While SteemIT is the original front-end, and OG of the network, it is far from the only use of the Blockchain.
The blue Steem logo is public domain. You are free to use that image for any purpose.
The mint-green SteemIT logo is intellectual property belonging to Steemit Inc., and is NOT free to use. Be very careful with this distinction. While I don't believe it has happened, using that logo could potentially open you up to legal issues... and none of us want that.
We hope to create a very fun environment where people can show off their fashion, and promote the Steem Blockchain to the world! Thank you for reading!
