Steem-A-dream: Help to change lives at 0 cost. Let's get international exposure on TV!

in #steemadream8 years ago (edited)

Blockchain solidarity and charity are the keywords to this ambitious project.

It's time to show the whole world that a blockchain can serve purposes other and greater than dark web and criminal activities. Let's show the world how a simple chain can change lives!

Introducing: Project Steem-A-Dream. Ready for television?

We all love those television series where poor or unlucky families houses are getting fixed, shows about helping people getting out of their debts, series about pimping cars to please a relative that deserved it, we just love things that make us feel happy when we see other's crying from joy, emotions, happiness. What if a blockchain called steem could achieve this?

Actually, some of my friends who work for a large television group came up with the idea, the concept. Being close friends, they've seen me making some nice rewards for the contributions I give on Steemit. That made them think, what if we could apply such a system on real world issues and document it all. What if we can convince the people, unknown with technology, that such a simple thing could change the world with nothing more than a simple upvote click? What if we could bundle the stories, the work behind it, the process, and make a television series out of it?

Steem-A-Dream foundation

The account @steemadream will become the main holdings account for all charity projects Steem-A-Dream will execute. A group of yet to be selected people from around the globe will trace down real world issues that are worth getting a change. All projects will be subjected to a thorough investigation, pre interview and every step will be monitored, documented and published. When selecting a case, we'll make sure to investigate independently that no personal relationship with anyone from the foundation is present.

What are we looking for?

Mostly people who had their portion of bad luck. People loosing their home, belongings, family, and other things we take granted in life. People forced living on the street due to a reason that makes no sense. People who lost their entire family in a tragic event and lose their belongings because of it. Everything that makes any normal human being say 'How on earth is that even possible!'. Steem A Dream is not looking for people who put themselves in debts, who are homeless because of their own actions, for example, by addiction, or fraudulent people claiming to have bad luck.

Changing lives at 0 costs? How will that work?

Let's take the example of a fictional person called Maggy. Maggy lost her husband in a blazing fire 4 years ago. On top of that, she lost her home, her belongings, literally everything she used to own. But the insurance company keeps delaying things, and Maggy ends up on the streets. With no family left to go to, she's forced to ask people money on the streets just to survive.

What if we could be those people passing by her cup filled with cents, and throw in a couple of cents. But not in real life, in digital shape. What if every simple upvote click could fill her cup?

This is where Steem-A-Dream comes in. We'll start documenting the story behind Maggy's bad luck, and collect some change in her cup. By upvotes. 1 click could make a huge difference. If we calculate that Maggy would need 25.000€ to get off the streets and have back a real life, then we'll divide this amount between posts and count on your upvotes.

If, on average, every post could make 2500$, being about 4.5k total post reward, we could document the story in 10, or even 12 posts. 10-12x an upvote from you could give somebody's life back. Can you imagine what power we harness with Steem ?

The entire process from start to finish will be documented with the goal to turn in into a television series. This won't be the first week of course, we first need material to create something. The journey will begin when we found our first mission.

What Steem-A-Dream is looking for ASAP

  • People who want to join the foundation. Please, PM me on chat.

  • Volunteers to write posts and translate them.

  • More people with connections to media channels; Radio, television, YouTube stars, ....

  • Followers and support!

The foundation needs to be operational before week 46!

When will Steem-A-Dream start to take shape?

Once the foundation has at least 10 members who are actively searching for people who had bad luck. The cases must be well documented and approved by a supermajority of 8/10 (80%) members before we engage in our first mission.

Why the name Steem-A-Dream ?

First, the name should speak for itself; We'll make your dream come true using Steem. Secondly, when abbreviated you have the initials SAD that references to the sad situations those people are in.

How do we know the funds are going where they should be going?

A multisignature wallet will be provided and setup once the foundation has the members required. All transactions must be approved by a majority of the members (80%) before a single cent can be moved. The SP gathered will be used to maximize exposure and weight on votes.

How does this benefits the Steem community?

As we know, positive media attention is king! It would demonstrate the power of technology in a way people can relate with. It will make them think about how we shaped the technological landscape in a way that it could actually change lifes, help people, be decentralized, be more than the negative things they hear about it. We can show everyone why they should invest in Steem, why they need to participate in what possibly could become the biggest evolution since Bitcoin.

Id love to be apart of this project, wether its with my money or time!

Great idea!

We have recently launched a @steemitcharity account, where we feature charity stories from different authors to help them fundraise on Steemit.

Might be a good idea to collaborate on this project!

Hi I think this is a cool idea, and I'm supporting it, but as usual I have to nitpick a little. This project would not have "0" cost. Everything has a cost. This project would consume a sizeable portion of the reward pool each day, and other worthy posts may not get as much.

Agreed! More about that on the first update by @steemadream
Also thanks for becoming the first follower :)

We'll start documenting the story behind Maggy's bad luck, and collect some change in her cup. By upvotes.

I like this! It also provides both content that a lot of readers and curators want + does a huge positive change to recipients.

I am glad more of these projects are starting up, steem-a-dream could just be the next milestone for Steemit and its release from beta.

This will get my full support and I'll gladly help out in any way I can!

resteemed.

Fantastic project idea, tweeted!

this is a great idea and I think will harnass an aspect and politic of steem which will set it apart from other social media web sites. What better way of proving the potential world changing politics of this platform and the community that share,reward and communicate upon it. upvoted

This is awesome!
I have been dedicated to building a new world for 15 years and helping as many people as possible realize a healthier, happier and more abundant life.
I founded The Garden of Eden of which is the organization with the lowest carbon footprint of any operation I am aware of. Just to mention a couple of the achievements is feeding 40,000 free meals and saving over 350,000lbs of trash from the landfill just last year.
We are dedicated to feeding, housing, clothing and educating people. I am constantly coming across well meaning people who are in a tough spot. I help thousands a year but can only do so much. I could easily provide candidates for this operation that would meet the criteria.
I will also follow and support this operation as long as it is doing what is presented here.
Please let me know how you would most like my participation.
Best Regards~*~

I'm follower number 8! :-)

More people with connections to media channels; Radio, television, YouTube stars

I own the domain name YouTubeStars.com and knew most of them 11 years ago when there were not that many. I don't keep up with my blog there much lately but I'll share this on Twitter and Facebook and see where this goes. Could be a very positive project!

I have the same dream :-), great idea.

Love the idea, I am all in!
