Steem Torch & The Power Of People
A few days ago a notice popped up on my phone via @Partiko ....
Sweet! I thought, that's awful nice of @stackin to send me all that STEEM :)
I then discovered what the transfer meant and it got me even more excited to receive that 325 STEEM..Which I turned around, added some more and immediately sent it to @kenmelendez
Wait a minute.....
"Jon, you are telling me that you got 325 STEEM sent to you...Added another 25 and then sent it to someone else?"
Exactly!
Welcome to Steem Torch!
This amazing community project was created by @GeekGirl almost 2 weeks ago - You can check out the original post here. And in those 12 days, it has amassed a total of 377 STEEM between 20 Steemians....The end goal, get the 'torch' passed around to 1337 Steemians and see what the total will be!
At the end, the STEEM pot would be either burned or donated to a commmunity run project to help the blockchain...No matter what, the end result is a HUGE win for STEEM.
So back to my #SteemTorch experience....
It started with @stackin sending me the STEEM and then I added a few STEEM (which apparently broke the rules lol we're only supposed to add one STEEM per transfer). The pot was sent to @kenmelendez and then Ken sent it to @steemcafe
Guess what I woke up to this morning?
My good friend I.J. decided to send that torch right back to me....
So this time I actually followed the rules, added my 1 STEEM to the pot and fired it off to @exyle
Why @Exyle ?
If you've gone through the @steemsavvy training you know there are a few people I recommend that everyone follows when they join STEEM...
Mark (Exyle) is one of those people!
He's helped my journey on STEEM by creating content that regular people like myself can actually understand and get excited about when it comes to this blockchain.
'STEEM information for the rest of us...'
We may not be computer scientists and some of us even have trouble pressing 'record' on our phones....(Honestly, I have even messed that up! Sad I know...)
But we're fired up about STEEM and love when we understand what's going on...
Steem Torch is the perfect project to showcase our excitement for this community and I think @exyle is the perfect Steemian to send the torch to next!
There is real power here on STEEM.
Real community!
And I believe Steem Torch is a fine example of that...
Want to learn more about Steem Torch?
Be sure to follow @GeekGirl as well as all the Steemians the torch has been passed to!
And let's see where this ends up when we reach Steemian #1337
STEEM is all about...People! And the thriving communities that are forming here...We would LOVE to help you on your STEEM journey...

you are right sir, steem have the power to unite the thoughts of other people.Maybe we're strangers back then before we knew steem. But when introduced to us, later on steem introduced us to the world with many great people. I love that idea but I think for I'm not qualified of it yet. I'm not good enough.hehe

Nah. I think it’ll be passed around to plenty of steemians before it’s done :)

it’ll be cool to see if we follow the rules or some of these whales start dropping hundreds every time they get the torch.

There are various methods to make money, if someone uses his brain like you

Such a nice experiment. I am patiently waiting for those 1337 transfers.
I really hope that the amount will be used for a good cause. Maybe funding a program...or charity. In any case this just indicates the trust and the power of human relationships on this chain.
agreed. so awesome to see people come together for a good cause. best part is. we have no idea what that cause will be lol but we believe in community.

That's an awesome experiment man! We should have an equivalent of the Olympic Games (keeping the proportions), I believe that's where passing the torch idea originally started.
yeah it is. people to people right. that’s the power of community.

Really cool idea and stuff started to passout the torch to next good person. Hope it can be a good number of STEEM can be collected.

Cant wait to see it end up in the hands of some "controversial" subjects. lol.
Wonder how it will end up. :D
lol hope not. worst thing would be for someone to get it and then cash out lol

Great, keep it going.
