Merry Christmas! Only 6 Hours Left in My Contest! Get Your Entries In While There's Still Time! Over $125 in Prizes!

This post is just a friendly reminder that there are only 6 and a half hours left in my contest that I am running to celebrate my rise to 500 followers. I want to hear your stories about how Steem and cryptocurrencies have changed your life!

So far, I've only received 6 entries. I'd really like to get more entries in because I really want to hear all about how being involved in Steem and cryptocurrencies has changed your life. I want this to serve two purposes, first to give back to the community and spread the Steem love around, and second, to have stories that we can use to #promo-steem for people who are not yet on the blockchain.

I want these stories to get out there so that we can inspire other people to get onto the Steem blockchain and see the life-changing effects for themselves! So please, come join this contest and submit your entries! The contest post itself is past payout, but the submission window is still open until 10 PM MST, which is in 6.5 hours.

Please post your submissions below! I will repost the contest guidelines here for you all to see, to make it easier for you. The submissions in this thread will be added to the submissions from the original contest post, and we will be going over all of your stories soon after the contest closes. Stay tuned for the winner announcement soon after that!
