For this first case, it was someone who @milakz is trying to get involved. In retrospect, she was the wrong choice. The first criteria should be a person willing to post each day. In the early days of computers, one used to design viruses to participate in a game. Each virus would take place in the memory of a computer and take over adjoining memory registers. The surviving virus was the winner. I am trying to create that virus in the real world.
I didn't select @saule.sara; I selected @milakz. The value of a currency has nothing to do with what it is made of but the confidence that people place on it. @milakz owns a store called Steem Mart. It is a place that you can exchange food for Steem. If there was a Steem Mart in your neighbourhood, would you buy food there?
In Canada, there is a retail chain - Canadian Tire Stores - that initially had its own reward points: Canadian Tire Money. It is on par with the Canadian Dollar. They have expanded the currency and is now called Valued points, and can now be used in different stores still at par. If Steem Mart can be made a success (it will take about 20 Steemians consistently buying from her shop), neighbourhood grocers can franchise the concept anywhere there is a hotbed of Steemians.
Although I have had multiple positive responses to the concept, the apathy of the participants makes me believe I need to rethink the process. Check my posts in a couple of days if you are interested in the outcome.
Think about the selection process first and then how long the community going to support he or she. Also, what is expected from the selected person. If the person gets support and vanished from next day whole concept will be a failure.

Success to the project!
