Let's blow this post up!

Venezuela is suffering due to extreme inflation and lack of food. A recent study found that 3 out of 4 Venezuelans lost 19 pounds in 2016. I have chosen two outstanding Venezuelan Steem users to boost through Steem Basic Income shares. @reinaldoverdu and @thaishps I will donate 20 Steem to buy each of them 20 shares, and I will donate all author proceeds (Steem and SBD) from this post and my comments to buy more SBI shares for them. In this way they will have an ongoing upvote on all their future posts, so they can grow their account and have a regular income.

I will not benefit from the sponsor half of the SBI share, there is a way to designate both halves like this, to help out these two the most.
The syntax when sending the Steem to @SteemBasicIncome is @sponsor:@sponsee, where separating the two names with a colon means the first name is treated as the sponsor, instead of the sending party. It requires the sponsor and sponsee names to be different.

They in turn will then be able to meet their personal needs and help other Venezuelans. Here is a post from @reinaldoverdu detailing the daily struggle. https://steemit.com/life/@reinaldoverdu/mi-vida-diaria-fui-de-visita-a-un-barrio-peligroso-my-daily-life-i-visited-a-dangerous-neighborhood

One day, an old man was walking along a beach that was littered with thousands of starfish that had been washed ashore by the high tide. As he walked he came upon a young boy who was eagerly throwing the starfish back into the ocean, one by one.
Puzzled, the man looked at the boy and asked what he was doing. Without looking up from his task, the boy simply replied, “I’m saving these starfish, Sir”.
The old man chuckled aloud, “Son, there are thousands of starfish and only one of you. What difference can you make?”
The boy picked up a starfish, gently tossed it into the water and turning to the man, said, “I made a difference to that one!”

Venezuela está sufriendo debido a la inflación extrema y la falta de alimentos. Un estudio reciente descubrió que 3 de cada 4 venezolanos perdieron 19 libras en 2016. Elegí dos usuarios sobresalientes de Steem venezolanos para impulsarlos a través de las acciones de Steem Basic Income. @reinaldoverdu y @thaishps donaré 20 Steem para comprar cada una de ellas 20 acciones, y donaré todas las ganancias de autor (Steem y SBD) de esta publicación para comprar más acciones de SBI para ellas. De esta forma, tendrán un voto activo continuo en todas sus publicaciones futuras, para que puedan hacer crecer su cuenta y tener un ingreso regular. A su vez, podrán satisfacer sus necesidades personales y ayudar a otros venezolanos.

No me beneficiaré de la mitad del patrocinador de la parte de SBI, hay una manera de designar ambas mitades como esta, para ayudar a estos dos más.
La sintaxis al enviar el Steem a @SteemBasicIncome es @sponsor: @sponsee, donde separar los dos nombres con dos puntos significa que el primer nombre se trata como el patrocinador, en lugar de la parte remitente. Requiere que los nombres del patrocinador y del patrocinador sean diferentes.

Aquí hay una publicación de @reinaldoverdu que detalla la lucha diaria.

Un día, un anciano caminaba por una playa llena de miles de estrellas de mar arrastradas por la marea alta. Mientras caminaba, se encontró con un niño que estaba arrojando con entusiasmo la estrella de mar al océano, uno por uno.
Perplejo, el hombre miró al niño y le preguntó qué estaba haciendo. Sin levantar la vista de su tarea, el niño simplemente respondió: "Estoy salvando estas estrellas de mar, señor".
El anciano se rió en voz alta, "Hijo, hay miles de estrellas de mar y solo uno de ustedes. ¿Qué diferencia puedes hacer?
El niño recogió una estrella de mar, la arrojó suavemente al agua y, volviéndose hacia el hombre, dijo: "¡Marqué una diferencia con esa!"

Thank you for understanding and helping the Venezuelans. God will reward your noble gestures. Greetings.

Thanks for your support and upvotes, God Bless you too. :-)

Interesting concept... interesting results. 53 upvotes for the post, 5 people who actually played along and voted the comment section. Thank you for reaching out to people in Venezuela, what is going on there is tragic.

Yes, I am not sure I explained things very well, or maybe introducing a new type of contest is tough, or maybe the dual language thing was too much. I am glad it was clear to you though, and thanks for your support. :-)

Thanks for helping.

hi @giddyupngo

indeed @reinaldoverdu (and also @cryptoeater) are doing great job helping those in need.

I would also recommend checking out their account: @crypto.charity (A charity account where all funds raised will help those in need.)

Yours
Piotr

Thank you sir, feel free to upvote the plankton picture, I only have 2 entries on the contest for 5 prizes so far. That would be awesome If you could do that. Thanks!

Sorry about that, fixed the comment, will have to see if I can find a picture of a plankton. :-)
