It is happening!

An original Steem blockchain publication. Be aware of imitations.

Proof of engagement {POE}.

Unfortunately Steem Smart Media Tokens {SMT} are not available yet, therefore I had to use the next easy thing out there. And that ment creating the TULIP Asset on the WAVES DEX {Decentralized EXchange} platform And I know there is Bitshares DEX and its UIA {User Issued Assets}. But using the Waves platform was the most easy way for me to realize the TULIP. The only handout will be done on the Steem blockchain by the @oaldamster account. And for you to have a chance of becoming one of the 43 happy TULIP owners and a little free Waves, you need POE. Not Edger Allan, but as in Proof Of Engagement, concerning Steem. Where one Steem blockchain membership gives you the key to an endless amount of applications that you can actually earn Cryptos with!

With the free handout of 43 times 37 TULIP the Cryptos realm is celebrating the 380th birthday of the Tulip Bulb Mania. This mania happened from 1636 to a peak going on for a month in 1637. Now the reason I thought this would be a great one for a Crypto was because of the free marketing aspect that came with it. Product placement in popular programs on prime time mainstream media is extremely expensive, so how can it be done without the needed budget? Then it occured to me that there is not such thing as bad advertisement, otherwise washingmachine powders and liquids would have gone broke many decenia ago. So, what is being used a lot in mainstream media to try and put a bad stamp on Cryptos? And how could this be used in a funny way, to turn it around? Remember, no such thing as bad advertisement, it is just marketing. People will only remember the brand and that is? Right, TULIP! The pride and joy of flowering Nederland...

Now, as a Nederlander, the other low-landers, I love free stuff, or things that are cheap. Nederland is a trading country that is why the rest of the world got stuck with Tulips as a brandname. And no, we are not D(e)ut(s)ch, no matter how many make that mistake, we are Nederlanders, or Nederish, just like Englanders are English and Germans are Dutch. Because in the German language their country is called Deutschland and the inhabitants are Deutsch and they speak Deutsch. It happens to be our neighbouring country and both our languages have Germanic origins. See what I just did there...? That is also product placement. Almost as annoying as a Dash ultra liquid commercial, but it will be stuck in your brain for ever. You'll even be having a diner conversation subject for the holidays. You may thank me later. Because first, for the event of another Steem blockchain week, it is TULIP HANDOUT TIME, so letssssss rumble!

Rules Of Engagement. {ROE}

If you want to be one of the 43 lucky ones to get the 37 TULIP then make sure you understand the rules.

• Steem blockchain membership.

That one is simple, one membership is your key to many apps and potential Crypto earnings!

• Proof Of Reputation {POR}.

At least make sure you have a Steem reputation of 30. It can be done within a week, really.

• Proof Of Posting {POP}.

A minimum of 50 posts. Yes, that might seem tough, but replies/comments also count as one post. Easy as pie.

• Vote for this post.

Yes, that is part of it. No vote but sticking your hand out to receive, no way. This is Steem, not FB!

• Get the Waves Light Wallet.

There have been mistakes with a test handout where exchange adresses were used. They do not support TULIP (yet), so please make sure you use the Wave Light Wallet. It works as a Chrome browser extention too. Of course you could put some presure on some exchanges to start support the TULIP asset... But refunds are impossible, so make sure you have a working Waves address that can accept your free TULIP.

• Reply to this post with your Waves address.

Only reply to this post with your Waves address, one per Steem member. And I know there will be those who have more than one Steem address. But that also would mean more than one Waves address is needed. Will do my best to filter the doubles and tripples out. Yet, at the end they might even get some of the left overs...

• No sleep until payout.

This handout is a bit of overkill for me, I guess. Should have thought it through. All those things to check and then sending those TULIP and a bit of WAVES so you can start trading them if you want. It will be a week for me to remember. But hey, ain't no use in complaining when you got a job to do! But I will ignore replies that have obviously not read this post. As there should only be replies with a WAVES light wallet address in it. Conversations, please excuse me if I only reply with a confirmation like: Congratulations.

For those who doubt there are only 1637 TULIP to be issued, you can check my OalDamster WAVES credentials.

The TULIP asset identifier is: DhNdGSkyttDmn72yMNN68dD6Xq6yLW2pph2yEFqVeSD4, please be aware of imitations.

Oh and first come, first served! And TULIP comes without any warranty.

May the Cryptos be with us!

Free TULIP handout, only at Steem!

NOTE: The Waves DEX currently is working on a different verify procedure. That is a bit of a downside, because it you want to start trading your TULIP then you have to copy paste its identifier code: DhNdGSkyttDmn72yMNN68dD6Xq6yLW2pph2yEFqVeSD4 and presto there is the TULIP market!

Hopefully I can get it verified. But then there is always... Nope, will keep that a secret for now. ;-)
