Introducing . IMPROV COIN . Facebook Group

Friends and Family. Artists of All Kind. Welcome to IMPROV COIN! A safe place to learn and share your cryptocurrency curiosities.

IMPROVCOIN Facebook Group ~ https://www.facebook.com/groups/improvcoin

Technical difficulties and crypto curiosities could not keep me from putting together this post. Internet outages, Computer burn outs, janky phone, and VPN hurdles are no match for the inevitable info that must be shared with loved ones around the world. No matter what obstacles you encounter, may you also always find a way.

Yes and if you are looking to learn more about Steemit, Bitcoin, and other Cryptocurrencies; yes and if you are an improviser, actor, musician, filmmaker, dancer, writer, or artist of any kind; then I hope you'll find a way to join us on Facebook at the IMPROV COIN Group. This invite is also extended to sincere patrons of the arts, as well as close friends and family.

This group is a closed group. No spammers, FOMO, FUD, or misleading links will be allowed. One must request access and be willing to tell the admins a little about yourself and your intentions for joining the group. It is intended to be a safe place for those that are new to Steemit, Bitcoin, and Blockchain Cryptocurrencies where they can discover helpful information and ask questions from well intended experienced individuals. It is a place for experienced traders, investors, miners, bloggers, and developers to share their knowledge with the Living Arts Community. It is a place for everyone to ultimately learn how Blockchain can help the Arts and how the Arts like Improv can help the Blockchain.

Just speaking for improv alone: we players and students have learned how to work together, support each other, and when we do so enjoy a better experience on stage and provide a richer experience for audiences. We have done shows all over the world for a variety of audiences. The Actors Gang has won a presidential award for reducing violence in prisons. Second City’s BizCo, Dave Co, and Business Improv bring improv training into the corporate sector to improve innovation, productivity, creativity, and communication. I was invited to speak at Steemfest this past November on the possibilities of bringing Improv’s intangible value to intangible coins and blockchain tech. Sadly Steemfest’s dates ended up being on the exact same dates as the opening of Comedy Sportz St Louis, for which I was the first Artistic Director. It was a difficult sacrifice to make, but I am still invested in the idea that there is an empowering relationship still to come between blockchain and improv.

I welcome any blockchain company to contact me on how improv’s joyful innovation can empower your project. You may contact me directly or feel free to reach out to Dave Co, Second City Works, or my good friend Bob Kulhan: Author, CEO of Business Improv, and faculty member of Duke University’s Business School.

I welcome any developers to contact me in regards to some day building an actual Improv Coin to empower the Artistic Economy. It would be a dream come true to make the idea of “Starving Artists” a thing of the past. While I have seen some individual artists find success while grinding it out alone; I have seen far more empowering experiences when people are willing to work together. It is my hope that Artists and Technicians can do the same to not only help the living arts, but to be rewarded by its inherent value. There will always be those who build daps whose short term goal is financial profit, and rightfully so, all the very best to them. But I humbly believe that a longer term investment in each other will pay out infinite riches in the end. If the Blockchain is truly a revolution for our society, then the arts are here to remind us of the humanity for whom the revolution rewards.

Yes and finally I welcome all artists to join us at Improv Coin on Facebook.

Why Facebook you ask? Well, most of my circa 1,976 Facebook Friends are Improvisers and Artists. And Facebook is where they communicate not just between each other but with their fanbase for shows both live, on screen. Many of them also have instagram and twitter. But very few are aware of steemit at this time, although I hope to empower them further with Steemit’s opportunities. Most people I know are also unaware of Telegram, Slack, and Discord. And I have never understood why Steemit Groups have so much interaction on Discord, Telegram, Slack, or Chats. Steemit is where the rewards are. I am looking forward to a Group type setting on Steemit. Till then, interaction is limited to the comment sections of post, which i wholeheartedly encourage and support. Therefore, since most people I know are more comfortable with Facebook, I am not going to reinvent the wheel, simply spin it in a different direction in hopes that someday we will be able to gather here, on Steemit, as we continue our Improvised Blockchain Cryptocurrency Journey.

I appreciate you ReSteeming this post in helping me support Steemit amongst the Artistic Community. Maybe I'll see some of you friends soon in the Improv Coin Group. And a friendly reminder that everyone is welcome to this Friday’s third St Louis Steemit Bitcoin Happy Hour! It will be located at The Improv Shop from 6-7:30 pm. There will be drink specials including $4 Local Drafts as well as an excellent dinner menu from the kitchen. After which you are invited to stay for Live Improv Comedy Shows at 8 o’clock.

Yes and, all the best!

Very cool. Good luck to them. There are a lot of coins coming out. Good luck to them. Are you invested in them via financial or through your efforts? What community does the project benefit most?

I can't say I'm looking to get rich, just help a community that I have been apart of for nearly 25 years. Improv itself is like Blockchain. It has experienced a boom in recent decades and can now be found in almost every major American city and around the world. It's still a "Pay to Play" type of thing because theaters have to pay the rent and there's little left over for performers. Chicago, LA, NYC are all tough cities to live in if one just does improv. St Louis is a little different. I'm surprised how many players and students are actually well off because of great jobs. The cost of living here is also very low so that helps. All the same, someday, it would be nice, to assemble a team, or join the right team that can benefit improv. I still think PEERITY coin has a lot of promise. I am wishing them well.
