SPUD 4 - RIDE OR DIE with STEEM - AUGUST 1, 2019 [ steem ] [ blockchain }
yes, I reCyCled the image (get it?) and the post. I did edit the original post by adding just one or two words which I put in parenthesis. I just really liked the analogy, the picture and the overall message so I felt compelled to re-post it in hopes that others that didn't get to read it the first time get to do so now.
It's About the Steem Journey and Not the Crypto-Destination
The road is never smooth in the real world and so too in the crypto-world; bumps, bruises and bugs is part of the experience. The question then becomes do you keeping riding or do you pull over and get off? Or do you trade in your ride for a newer more modern machine?
SPUD is my response to those questions.
Just like today, many riders of Harley Davidson Motorcycles have many choices when choosing a ride with today's modern technical amenities and improvements, but yet many don't jump ship and remain riding HD's with older motorcycle technology. Many of them are die hard Harley Davidson Motorcycle riders and don't ever even consider changing to any other brand of motorcycle.
Call me old school or a maximalist (for Bitcoin and Steem), but I am Here until the Steem Road crumbles and I fall off the crypto-highway or it lets me Ride off into the (Crypto)-Sunset with you all.
STEEM is my Gas, STEEM POWER is my Ride and SPUD is the ROAD (I am on).
SPUD4 PRIZES
As of now there are 2 prize sponsors for SPUD4. I will be slightly amending the qualifications to be considered for a prize in order to open it up to more Steemians.
Prizes ( so far, unless we get other prize sponsors):
-2500 STEEM POWER delegation for 4 weeks by @xpilar
-1000 STEEM POWER delegation for 4 weeks by @streetstyle
The prizes are meant to incentivize the smaller Steemians, the planktons, minnows and barracudas out in the Steem Ocean to participate in powering up on SPUD, and hopefully create more understanding as to why Steem Power is what backs the Steem Economy. The winners will be announced via a Steem Post a few days later, and if no one challenges it or lets me know I missed them after 2 days from Winner Announcement, then it becomes final and the prizes will be awarded.
What is SPUD, Prize Rules and How to Participate in SPUD4 coming soon!!
Please help support SPUD4 by posting about your SPUD experience, SPUD memes, re-steeming and up voting SPUD posts and simply letting others know that the community intends to make August 1, 2019 a STEEM POWER UP DAY!
Thank you to all who have helped support prior SPUD days, and to all those who will help make this SPUD4 spectacular!!

I will add 20 SBI shares to the prize pool. I saw the delegations, so why not add some SBI in there, for the gift that keeps giving. Great work @streetstyle!!

Can't wait for SPUD 4 its going to be a great day down in the lane
Great job friend, tomorrow I will give you promotion to this initiative through a post.
I am enjoying the recycled image. although, I have not heard of spud before. where can i learn more about it?
Hello @deepwaters , well here is a link to the very first SPUD post link and here is another that explains the details....
link This post is good tells more how to participate and has a link to a post by steemian @runicar called the onion which is a must read if You are into Steem.
Then of course stay tuned for the updated rules on how to win one of those prizes. Any questions let me know.
Awesome!
I am planning on powering up with some fiat soon, and I'm glad to see there's a day for it.
See you around!
@streetstyle
I was called over by @traciyork - I have been powering up regularly, and just the other day, wondered if there would be a #spud4 because I've been powering up everything I can. I will most certainly be participating. Yesterday was my 2nd Steem anniversary. I am certainly here for the long haul.
Fiona
Good to hear @fionasfavourites and thank you for supporting the #SPUD4 initiative. Update coming up soon! Oh and congrats on the 2nd yr. anniversary.
Thanks so much!
YAY! So glad you're going to jump in to #SPUD4, @fionasfavourites! 😊 💜
Hi @streetstyle
SPUD is great initiative and I appreciate your efforts to organise it. I have already made a post last week and resteem this post to bring more audience and share awareness. I confirm my participation in #SPUD4

I appreciate your help and support. I think I might have missed your post but if you do another regarding SPUD4 be sure to use the tags #SPUD and #SPUD4
Thank you again, friend. Take care.
You have voted on that post and I posted it 6 days. I think I should make another post this week as a reminder.
I will surely use the tags as advised. Thanks @streetstyle

Yes, and you can mention that there will be at least 2 prizes, and they are based on percentage not amount, so it will be more fair. Thanks again.
I vlog about it yesterday. ;)

Thanks @chesatochi I just seen it now... you didn't use the hash tag #spud or #spud4 that is why I did not see it. I will re-steem your video later today.
Thank you for all you do and your support of SPUD, hopefully we can get many more on board this initiative... we need big players in Steem. Maybe the more noise we make then they will notice. We need to post SPUD Posts every day maybe?
@streetstyle, In my opinion SPUD brings good race into the Steem Ecosystem and it's boosting aspect.
