Let's take Steemit to The Real WorldsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #blocktrades5 years ago (edited)

Recently I wrote an article about Empathy. There I raised the idea that, as human beings we are "Social Entities", that is, we are grouped in community and it has been this virtue that has allowed us to perpetuate ourselves as a species.

Although at present the dynamics of society have led us to behave every more time in an apathetic way towards the needs of our neighbors, we still find gestures and manifestations of wills that make us think that all is not lost and that fostering this type of behavior we can resurface and achieve better living conditions for a majority.

Steemit has positioned itself, in my opinion, as the # 1 Social Network in The Global Blockchain.

This is a reality since most of its members manage to achieve an interaction and feedback behavior that has allowed true communities to be conformed. This leads us to think about the sum of efforts of all the members in order to make the little ones grow.

Recognizing the talents and virtues of the members of the community is a key piece for the advancement, but more important is the fact of knowing the needs of the weakest and helping them not to disappear.

Every day we see examples of users who delegate part of their SP to well-organized healing groups. Again the concept of community proper to human nature is present.

In the same way, names of great people and organizations have emerged, who, alone and with their own efforts, have become a great hope for many others.

But the time has come to go further.

The time has come to take Steemit to The Real World.



And in fact, this is already happening.

Donations of food, seeds and fertilizers, pumping motors for agricultural irrigation, campaigns to support the most needy in countries with humanitarian crises or immersed in great poverty are already a reality. These people or organizations work many times, almost in anonymity. But his work can be felt, it is tangible and real. And it has brought joy and hope to many children and adults in various parts of the world.

The scope and scalability of blockchain allowed the borders to disappear and the economic force is present in all latitudes due to the superiority of crypto over FIAT.

Currently, the STEEM currency has a value close to 0.5 usd. Its presence in the main exchanges is a great advantage due to its easy convertibility. Then it can benefit any person or group of people regardless of their country of origin.

In countries like Venezuela, where the national currency undergoes an unimaginable devaluation and citizens survive with a minimum wage of less than $ 5 a month plus a hyperinflation of 1,000,000%, STEEM has become a great economic aid. This is why the community of Venezolanos that lives in Steemit grows every day.

People who are taking Steemit to the Real World

@chbartist

A couple of days ago I came across a publication that allowed me to know part of the work of @chbartist in my country. Who in an initiative coordinated by @arrozymangophoto gives us an example of what can be achieved when we bring Steemit to The Real World.
Here is the link: https://steemit.com/dtube/@chbartist/46z7yunh.

@mariusfebruary

First hand I have experienced the good voluntas of an anonymous hero in Steemit. I mean @mariusfebruary. This man, who with his own resources has managed to accumulate almost 600K SP (which represent more than 10 usd with a 100% vote) always manages to dispose part of his busy schedule to perform manual healing. He has been the victim of people who, supported by his good faith, have tricked him into requesting financial resources. This does not daunt him in his efforts and desire to help.

@sirknight

Founder of @steemchurch. This Christian group has two major action groups: one dedicated to Nigeria and the other to Venezuela. They have brought Steemit to The Real World. They are very well organized, carry out activities frequently and have accounts for manual healing. Here are some tests of their activities:

@crypto.piotr

This young entrepreneur who loves the crypto and the blockchain knows very well how to surround himself with valuable people. Continuously makes important SP delegations to help steemians that have little RC. He has also extended his hand to help people in Venezuela. More than performing acts of charity, he has trained several enthusiastic Steemit users to learn to grow within the community. He is currently supporting an initiative called Project Hope #hp-venezuela benefiting several Venezuelan families. @crypto.piotr has also taken Steemit to The Real World.
Here is testimony of one of his initiatives:

Conclusion

The power of Crypto and Blockchain knows no boundaries. The concept of community is exalted in Steemit with the interaction of its members, who organized, have known how to support and maintain the basic concepts that have preserved us as social human beings.

We must applaud and support the work of all these people and organizations that foster the feeling of union and fraternity among the users of Steemit.

They are the proof that Steemit is much more than just another social network.

Steemit is the # 1 Social Network in Blockchain.

Hello my friend, thanks a lot for sent me the link @juanmolina ..

I read everything in your post and I really agree with you...

All those guys mentioned in your publication are making a magnificent work on
Steemit.. helping a lot of people and making a huge difference...!!!

I would like to add that many people are against of communities and a few are in favor.. Many communities are helping a lot to their Countries or people next to them and that is really awesome..!!

All those guys are making Steemit stronger, they have an incredible vision about Steemit means. (FUTURE)

And bring Steemit on the top position as you said #1

Hello dear friend @edgarare1.

I would like to add that many people are against of communities and a few are in favor.. Many communities are helping a lot to their Countries or people next to them and that is really awesome..!!

I can not imagine that someone could be against such constructive actions as these.
Amazing!

Yeah my friend.. It is really easy to know that..!!

Just a small example is when people send info as a memo, and some people get upset for this kind of action...

For me this is a good way to engagement with a lot of people and can help a lot more to the communities..

I want to do something more to help people from Venezuela but for now my RC is not enough.. I made a post just month ago where I gave just 100,000 Steem as a bounty and many people came to the post and everyone got just 1 or 2 Steem... Not whales and Dolphins coming to help...

I respect all the communities for their amazing job and those guys mentioned as well..

Thanks a lot my friend @juanmolina for your reply...!!!

I remember clearly that publication of yours.
I was impressed with that initiative, I thought it was great.

I did not want to comment so as not to take away the opportunity for another to earn a reward.

I congratulate you for undertaking this type of action.

You are one of those who take Steemit to the Real World!

Dear @juanmolina the following lines echo my sentiment very well.

Recognizing the talents and virtues of the members of the community is a key piece for the advancement, but more important is the fact of knowing the needs of the weakest and helping them not to disappear.

I agree with this idea completely. I think the blockchain based projects like steemit can provide the platform to connect without boundaries.

I salute all the wonderful people that you have mentioned. They have been doing a great job promoting the causes close to their heart.
As for you, I like your style of writing and presentation. You are doing a great job.
Keep up the good work buddy.
Surely

The time has come to take Steemit to The Real World.

To add to the discussion I feel if there is two way crypto-fiat fungibility added so people would be able to buy the day to day stuff like bread, milk and other essentials and pay the bills and fees.
That would be another milestone that I am looking forward to.

Thanks for the memo :)

Regards, dear friend, @thetimetravelerz.

Your words are very kind. I do not know if I really deserve them.
I love the fact that we are in tune with the feelings of unlimited connectivity offered by this type of platform like Steemit.

To add to the discussion, I feel that if two crypto-fiat fungibility functions are added so that people can buy day-to-day things, like bread, milk and other essential items, and pay the bills and tariffs.

It sounds like a wonderful idea. But this must be done by the developers who create these wonderful Dapps on a daily basis that work on the Steem blockchain.
PS: it would be something great.

Thanks for your valuable comment.

great post.. I agree on many levels this is the way to the future..

I look towards Mannabase ( https://www.mannabase.com/ )and ( @mannacurrency )

and the treeplanting site @treeplanter

and the cleanup app @cleanplanet

All ways to funnel the rewards from steem to community engagement

Thank you for providing such complete information.
Very thankful.

Dear @juanmolina! I like the people whom you mentioned in this post. They are taking steemit to the real world. Steem and Steem blockchain have immense possibilities and potential to change this world. I myself tried to contribute little towards this goal by delegating some steem power to a Venezuelan group here. I hope my little contribution may help somebody. Thanks!

Hello my dear friend, @akdx

I myself tried to contribute little towards this goal by delegating some steem power to a Venezuelan group here.

You are taking Steemit to the Real world.
Thank you!

To be honest i disagree with this post. You and soke of the guys you mentioned you didnt bring steem to the real world.
I will dont write names but some that you mentioned is milking steemit out every day with overboosted posts while he didnt make much. And to spend for donations while the price is almost all time low that is also not so smart.
To bring steem to the real world make a business. Use steem. With spending steem you just push down the vallue.

Sorry mate for my honest words this is my opinion and you sent the memo.

Hello appreciated, @gabbynhice.

Your words reflect what you feel. What you feel is born of you, is your essence. Who am I to criticize your words?
I respect you, I respect your criteria. I'm sure you have enough knowledge to make these claims.
Thanks for reading and commenting.
Have a blessed day.

Thanks. By the way dont misunderstand me. I am not against these project to help people. Just i think we should wait a little. The steem have a big potential to be strong i think. And once it will became strong will be much better and easier.

I appreciate very much that you comment on my publications.

The concept of community is exalted in Steemit with the interaction of its members, who organized, have known how to support and maintain the basic concepts that have preserved us as social human beings.

This actually got me thinking because it really explains lots of things going on on the steem blockchain. The need for more community on the steem blockchain can surely help us to promote Steemit and make Steemit more popular which can attract more people to join the steem blockchain provided every community is working towards achieving this goal.

Thanks for sharing this great post with love from @hardaeborla 💞

We are community. We are also a family.

We are expanding. We have more and more members, so we must learn to tolerate and appreciate ourselves.

Thanks for your valuable comment, friend @hardaeborla.

Dear Juan,

Its quite touching that steemit grew from its "social media"persona and created a global presence that is palpable in the world. Yes. steemit is truly alive. and, I am going to share with you why do I enjoy it here despite the fact that I am not earning that much:

  • I get to engage with people who give me valuable comments.
  • I get to talk to people who challenges my beliefs and opinions and helps me grow in the process.
  • I get to write whatever I wanted to write because, there are so many niche' in this community that, there is a niche inside a niche inside a niche!

I am actually looking forward into a future where people will look at anyone who is involve in steemit in this way:

I loved your comment.
In fact, every time I post, I'm watching your comments. You always make my brain work. Thanks for coming.

No worries. thank you for sending me those memos- I get to learn things beyond my usual field.
