Since there is no criteria for the winning of the steemfest tickets I will make this comment about what it would mean to me to be gifted one.

This isn't a comment for people to pity me (i take responsibility for my many foolish financial decisions). I am cutrently solely supported by my parents an steemit. I'm in debt to my parents well over $5,000 and a bank account with no commas in it.

Getting to this event will require great sacrifice from me, so i will make every minute of my time their. Blogging on steemit is what i want to do full time. I love the flexibility, creativity and fellow steemians i'm able to meet.

I know that being at this fest will give me credibility with people i talk about steemit with. Only someone taking this platform seriously would pay their way to a conference like this. And to be able to tell others that ppl you've never met have helped you with funding this trip shows the real heart and community that I love about steemit.

I hope I am selected to win a ticket, but even if I am not selected, I hope that those who are will take advantage of such a generous gift from you @infovore - I hope to not need to max out a credit card to get to amsterdam, but if that is what it takes, i will seriously weigh that option.

You are a very valuable member of steemit. That is not meant as flattery, but I've seen you help many users and promote their work and I love the selfless acts you do. The people I most want to be successful are usually those who care least about gaining the most rewards, and most about helping other users achieve their goals.

In a world of selfish people and corporations, it's great to see people taking the path less traveled.

Thank you @infovore
