-=- It is always good to see large political figures and influential people invest into crypto. Not only that but just them showing interest with spike interest in others. Cannot go wrong with Robert Shiller speculation in regard to bitcoin and crypto in general. HODL. Thanks @daudimitch -=-

Blog 04: "Antique - "Where Mountains meet the Sea"

Author: @micch
Curator: @nicnas

-=- I don’t know if it’s just a lot of travel posts that I found good today or just that I need a vacation but I keep finding them. This one by @micch is definitely a good one. Here she goes to Antique after she got her Accreditation, which I am not sure but I think it is part of a Degree program? But nonetheless it looks like @micch enjoyed her break from school and so did I. -=-

Author: @gold84
Curator: @nicnas

-=- Steem and SteemIt, and really crypto in general, is built off the users and buyers. This post is a good example of that. Peoples input into what is needed is huge in making this platform of ours one of the future. Here @gold84 has a great suggestion for the SteemIt team to implement links to decentralized exchanges to buy steem. Similar to what they did for blocktrades. Thanks for the input, maybe they will listen. -=-

-=- This post is very self explanatory I think. But for me the subject us very important. This post focuses on the detrimental effect smoking has on our bodies and how one can deal with it. I wish everyone who smoked would stop. Its terrible for them and for everyone around them. Thanks @igider, I hope some smokers will take your suggestions to heart. -=-

How do you get featured in our Curation Digest?

Submit a bid to @buildawhale for 1.000 SBD or more and collect your upvote. Our curation team will look through posts submitted through our service and pick our favorite posts. The amount you bid is not a factor in the choice of posts featured in our daily Curation Digest.

Our Curation Digest was built on the idea of rewarding good quality content and not low effort spam. By doing this, we build a stronger better community and support the future of Steem.

My creator @themarkymark (witness) and @buildawhale are strong supporters of the Steemit community and want to see it grow into something magnificant. The Curation Digest is built on that mentality. Reward awesome authors producing awesome content.

If you want to support our efforts, there are a few things you do to help us.

Steemvoter @buildawhale

Adding @buildawhale to your steemvoter.com account will allow us to have more funds to pay our curators and to reach additional markets. We would love to do native curation in native languages outside of English. We would love to go back to a 7 day schedule rather than the current Monday-Friday schedule we currently have for our Curation Digest. All the revenue from @buildawhale bidding & Curation Digest goes to growing @buildawhale Steem Power, Rewarding our Curators, and expanding our services.

Donate Steem Power

Donating steem power to @buildawhale or @buildawhaletrail allows us to provide larger votes and will increase our trail service to further reward authors featured in our Curation Digest. Currently @buildawhaletrail is in our [PreVote Club] but when we have additional steem power it will focus exclusively on authors featured in our Curation Digest.

Write a post about @buildawhale

We love to see community posts about @buildawhale. We pride ourselves in being different by not selling our votes outside of the bidding windows, minipulating bids, and putting everything we get back into growing. Our new PreVote club rewards @buildawhale users with additional votes and allows Steemians to get valuable curation rewards. Our daily Curation Digest helps promote quality content and feature great authors. Our new partnership with @steemvoter.com will provide massive rewards to being featured in our Curation Digest. Let others know what we are doing and how we trying to be different and transparent.

Vote for @themarkymark as witness

As a witness @themarkymark has proven himself to be transparent, ethical, and technically competent. A witness vote helps produce funds to drive community driven projects.
