Mega Giveaway: 500 $ for the sake of STEEM

in contest •  7 years ago 

Actions speak louder than words...

I love Steem ... and especially the price of steem and SBD at the moment (and I hope it is somewhat stable or even rising more). I am in the lucky position that I joined quite early. I am so grateful for all the support I am getting, that I am willing to do a lot to make this platform better and so I am everyday trying to do my part.

Since my beginning here I talked to lots of people about how it will be key to make this revolution happen to have businesses joining in, that accept steem.

There have been some tries to do so, but it was (to my knowing) never incentivised. I will start this movement now! Personally I brougt in @lamaisonjeandel who isn't active, but still accepting Steem and @opmonis (my old boss) who is not active as well but is still accepting Steem. There is a bunch more, but still...

WE NEED MORE OF THOSE!

I am willing to give away 10 x 45 $

(this means 10 x 5,5 SBD)

For anyone who brings in a business owner who

  1. registers an account
  2. makes an introduceyourself post with a link to his business URL
  3. announces that he is accepting Steem/SBD for his goods or service
  4. Includes your name as his agent in this post (don't try to cheat, I will vet every entry)

Limitations:

As I can only vet businesses that speak English, French or German, this contest is limited to businesses that speak these languages. And it only has to be a legit and official business.

This is easy... YOU can help them doing it. I don't care which service or which goods. It can be a designer, can be your favourite cofee-bar or a night-club, it can be your golf teacher, your butcher or your hairdresser (YES @ned , I am talking to you here).

Post the link to the introduceyourself as a comment to this post and I will send you 5,5 SBD if it meets my requirements (which is worth 45 $ right now) additionally I will upvote this introduceyourself post with 100% of my vote which is worth about 5$ right now.

Have fun! Speak to your favourite businesses around. YOU have the most influence on them.
Make it happen and earn some bucks! Be part of the revolution!

we dont need fiat money any more!

And I still wonder why noone of the big earners and investors here ever did so. May it only be to protect their investment.

For other ways to earn money, check out @steembay, where you can buy and sell goods in auctions vs SBD.

THX for reading and joining!

Coole Aktion. Ich habe schon jemanden mit einem eigenen Business zu Steem geführt, der bereits BTC in seinem Laden akzeptiert und seit etwa einer Woche ebenfalls SBD - Aber der inroduceyourself post ist (leider) schon gemacht.

Dennoch finde ich die Aktion total super!

Gruß, obvious

Das is wohl die erste Antwort von jemand, der wirklich gelesen hat, was ich geschrieben habe ;-)

Ach herje ;) Wenn der Beitrag die Botwelle überstanden hat, kommen die guten Comments so ab 15:30 Uhr - Wünsche allen viel Erfolg!

Great idea. Anyone with a physical product-based business would be a good fit for this. Resteemed and I encourage others to do so as well.

Now that is going to be really super cool you are taking steemit to the next level

And still I am wondering why a minnow-dolphin like me has to do something like that and the really big earners her doesn't ...

Hi @pollux.one I think your right and I have been sharing the same message about the need for an internal crypto economy over the last two weeks.

My guess is that most people are still spending their money on goods produced with fiat capital.

Do you know a crypto debit card that works with steem in America?

Sorry, I live in Germany, so I am quite limited with my knowledge about the US

Mal schauen, vielleicht finden ja ein paar businesses hier her... Kenne leider keine wirklichen Geschäftsinhaber :/ Wenn ich mein eigenes "business" (erstmal als Hobby) Mitte/Ende dieses Jahr aufmache, werde ich aufjedenfall crypto als Währung annehmen! Muss erstmal ein wenig drauf hinarbeiten und vorbereiten... Ist aber aufjedenfall eine gute Sache! Keep it up, hast ja immer ziemlich gute Ideen!

very nice initiative!

I will advertise that at the french community !!!! :-) You rock my sweet @pollux.one !

This is a great idea/incentive and I will promote as much as I can.

I have Upvoted and Resteemed, please check out my post regarding steems price:

Excellent work @pollux.one
many don't take this big step but you have taken because you want to bring the change i support you :)

well i will try my best but lets resteem this to spread further :)

big investors need to do something too along with you

I just wanted to drop by to show my sincere appreciation for what you are trying to do here.
I love it when smart folks try to actually make a difference on Steemit.
The word "try" is key here, cause after reading some of the comments below your great post, it kind of made me wonder if people would even read beyond the "givaway" part.
Have said so, I hope there will be more serious adoption soon! not masses, but selective creative folks that you requested.


t.

Ich finde das eine geniale Aktion von dir. Und du hast auch recht...Das sollten die die hier viel Geld drin haben eigentlich auch irgendwie machen. So wie du ja auch schon geschrieben hast, hilft das ja ihr investment zu sichern ;)

Ich hoffe und wünsche dir und uns allen, das deine Aktion bisschen was bringt und Nachahmer findet.

LG von @fratheone

Super Initiative @pollux.one - wenn das nicht 1.000$ bekommt und ins Trending kommt, was sonst?

kommt sicher nicht ins trending
sonst hätte das schon wer anders gemacht. Ich finds viel interessanter, dass die meisten comments so jenseits vom Thema sind, dass ich mir echt Sorgen um deren Geisteszustand mache...

ich find sogar die Kommentare weniger schlimm als befürchtet, manchen gehen durchaus auf den Content ein :-)

jo geht... die ersten 10 comments oder so hatten halt so GAR NIX mit dem content zu tun. Das nervt dann...

hab mir abgewöhnt mich darüber aufzuregen, am Anfang hab ich noch kommentiert und auf die Regeln hingewiesen - bei manchen mach ich das auch - einfach ignorieren oder im Wiederholungsfalls an die Steem Reinigung Funktion melden

Jo stimmt schon... aber siehste... trending geht nur, wenn man regelmässig 500$ rausholt, nicht wenn man sie verschenkt...

Verdammt ja, ist echt ne Schande, aber leider die Realität

Super toll! Ich schreibe meinen Futterproduzenten mal eine E-Mail. Vielleicht haben die noch Kapazitäten in der Marketingabteilung, so dass jemand das Unternehmen hier vorstellen kann. Das wäre ein Gewinn für alle!

Upvote von mir!

Wuff

sbd must be over $ 10.
The main reason for this fall is.
Policy applied within steemit.com
steemit.com accepts sbd's value as $ 1.
.
@pollux.one

You can send SBD to bittrex, to poloniex, to blocktrades... the value there is 7.24 $ right this moment. If you exchange inside the system, it is your own fault...

yes i do this. thanks for suggesting
@pollux.one

I will try my best, resteem now and very enjoyable your post
Thank you
@pollux.one

Hello. I have a restaurant in Turkey and i can take steem or sbd instead of money. Does that count ? I cant bring any manager to you or something like that but i can show u guys my restaurant via dtube and prove that. And we dont have a website too we have instagram and facebook.:D

great initiative my friend... Awesome... Its really good giving away some SBDs... Please visit my profile to know about my ideas.. :) some fun games are waiting for your participation....

your post is today speaking louder than words hat's off man !!

that's a lot of money you are giving away all the best @pollux.one :)

it will be really awesome if such persons comes and steem will sky rocket high

very informative post.
sbd price day by day increasing.
Thanks for sharing it.
@pollux.one

Never thought @ned is a hairdresser until I read this post. Thanx for letting us know.

On a side note, I am selling out my slightly-used books (paperback) for Steem or SBD. How does that sound?

This sounds as a case for using @steembay (as your business isn't really professional, I won't count this as legit ;-)
And ned isn't a hairdresser... (as far as I know), but he cares a lot about his hairdo. If I am well informed he wanted (or still wants) to become a swimming teacher ;-) but these are only rumours.

But the question is: how is this going to play out without utilizing a smart contract? There should be some kind of trusted party to act as intermediary.

If you don't trust your buyer, you can ask for escrow service. All deals so far have been made with trust only. To be honest... I wouldn't deal with someone with a bad reputation. ;-)

HERE is the link to the still working escrow service via esteem.

I'd like to be just as kind as you are, hopefully soon! 😇

This post received a upvote from @resteemme and it's trail. Thanks to @resteemme!

if you want to start a bussiness then you have to invest a big money here to support the transaction, if try to sell or buy goods then you think about production yourself, otherwise it will running but stop at the middle. I appreciate your enterprenuer think tank.

actually that is not true...

If you have a business, you need to set up an account, which is free and DECIDE to accept steem. The transaction is free and instant.
E.g. you own a coffee bar. I go there and say, that I'd like to pay via STEEM or SBD. I put out my mobile and send the money to your account and show you the transaction. It's instant and free.

The only thing you have to figure out is IF and how to get the money out of the system and how to handle it concerning taxes. Both a minor thing to do...

wow bro this is very nice you are doing your very best for this platform

one of the biggest giveaway i have seen on steemit :)
