I had no idea it was this crazy, did you?

I don't want this post to seem as if I'm not being grateful or anything of the sort, quite the opposite. As a matter of fact I'm just blown away with the amount of support @helpie is getting. First of course, the reaction of people when the post was announced, but then to my amazement from @berniesanders himself.




Right on Trending


Just like that a huge tomato took over trending announcing that @helpie was open for business/witness and the votes started coming in. As you might imagine here I am excited every single time a new one comes in drinking coffee without being able to surrender to a pillow.

How could I sleep when another vote is about to come in? Yes, I know, silly of me, but nonetheless it was my truth, it is my truth and it made me smile. What can I say? - I'm also convinced that most if not all the members of @helpie had a special day, I got so many dms with incredibility and emojis, that the statement is not speculative.

@helpie being announced on trending, who would ever think it? I certainly never did, never imagined it. But in any case, it's true I've confirmed with plenty of people I'm not crazy, and neither am I or me.

Stupidly Grateful


And that is the word, to everyone who has voted, congratulated the team or and left all those supportive comments. Of course to @berniesanders who completely surprised me with his kind action. I told him personally that I thought I was being punked for a second, as if Ashton was going to come out of some bush at any moment.

Of course it goes without saying that @themarkymark has been pivotal to this whole thing even being a thing. Without his help this would be still a stupid little pipe dream for the community and nothing else, but here we are with @helpie making blocks.

But, its only the beginning


I'm not considering this like the last stop, ok now everybody relax and drink kombucha. No, not even close, I see this like an indication that the mission of lifting outstanding community members resonates with people. That means so much to me, you have no idea. If we can put people, the value of people over money, and be happy about that, I mean, how amazing is that?

At any rate, I'm pumped my friends, I'm excited like you have no clue. Bear Market? Who cares, we are building, we are moving forward, and I know if we keep on keeping on as the classic movie says, we are going to be grateful we did.

Much love

:)

It's all a bit awesome and mind blowing!
A very big thanks goes out to @berniesanders for helping Helpie!

It's really too bad they don't pay curation on witness votes, I'd be sitting pretty for how early I got in.

That is an awesome and auspicious start @meno! It makes me happy to see a strong showing like this from yet another community based witness.

Just cast my last open witness vote for @helpie.

thank you very much friend, btw i found you at the other place, left you a hello... I need to go back and check what happened! hahahha

cheers mate

I think your closing comments are spot on! We are building and with the quality being created here and the ecosystem being established, true value will be created which will pay off in the long term. In the meantime, let’s enjoy the ride!

What matters most in life isn't how we invest in ourselves but how much we invest in others. And this is what I think @meno is doing, good works pays off over time

thank you brother and thank you for the vote... btw, sorry you got spammed here, i dunno where he came from or what the deal is...

All good! This is why I always have votes available! I am still learning and meeting great people in this community so I am always looking for those who provide a reason to give them the vote to help the community!

Best trending post ever!
Yay for Helpie!!!❤️

thank you Isa... btw I saw that you and Shane are redoing his witness, I think its awesome.... lets make a big fuzz about it when its up and running. Let's get you guys happening in a day!!!

:)

<3

I know just how you feel. Well,let's say it's an honour well deserved. Think about it,"the joy and sadness of today was a seed planted yesterday" so all what @berniesanders and all of us requires from you is to never back down!! . keep pushing,keep moving,keep flying and when you get an opportunity to lift and assist someone else, please do it. @meno

That's true

I saw that post early. Crazy as @berniesanders is I thought he might be pulling someone's leg. But there you are, @helpie is being helped (and you'd better keep helping) :)
Now you can go back to sleep and keep pushing Steem up.

stayed up super late again, i think im all broken now.. hahhaha h

Take care, man. Don't you wanna be healthy when Steem is worth $10? It may be a long ride...

You deserve it. Glad it gives you a thrill. It's nice to get confirmation of how much you're appreciated, isn't it?

thank you @indigoocean for the kind words, btw, are you on discord? i think you should meet the crazies...

I am on there. I've chatted with Serena (paintedangels). Awesome stuff you all are doing. Will be staying in touch.

@meno Yes, you are doing a good job, in every effort you always receive your reward, you know that you have my support, as you advise me, hehe. Keep working and doing good jobs for the beautiful Steemit platform. Greetings.
Thank you very much for your support that you give me, and thanks for following me hehe.

In steemit I think we are more like a family. Love the spirit

thanks victor! cheers

Congrats on the success! A shout out from @berniesanders that shoots up to trending is something most budding witnesses would only dream about! I know it's exciting, but you really should try and get some sleep though. We're not going anywhere!

Nice one, though

thank snowpea... as life would have it, another late night for me, but productive, so it's all good.. (btw dunno whats going on with our new friend here replying to everyone, but would appreciate any insights)

Oh, just noticed that! It's funny because I've never seen spam quite like how this guy is doing it. Very strange.

Congratulations!! Glad to be part of this positive energy! Thank you for all your effort!

Good luck!

thank you Kaminchan... its been a crazy but beautiful journey so far.

Oh wow!!! Massive Congrats to @helpie :D I've missed soooo much because of my discreet Discord hiatus, and honestly feel like I shouldn't even really be on Helpie anymore, because life has been mad, and I haven't been able to spend as much time on Steemit as I'd like.

But I am very grateful that I was invited to join this community all those months ago, when I was doing lots more behind the scenes. I'm so happy to see the community grow so much, and I really hope I can engage more again soon!!

honestly feel like I shouldn't even really be on Helpie anymore,

dont say that!! hahahahah

You've always had a kind soul, and that is what this whole thing is all about anyways.

We are not going anywhere...

<3 see you soon!

Well you are just a boatload of awesome, aren't you? <3

Thank you though, it means a lot! Let's hope you'll see me around more again :)

This is amazing. I would feel the same exact way.

Es genial poder apoyar a los nuevos testigos, ellos seguro mas adelante sabrán seguir apoyando a los nuevos usuarios. A pesar de que llevo solo 6 meses aquí ya siento mucha cercanía con muchos de ustedes que me hacen sentir como en casa. Gracias @meno

Again...
THANK YOU!

Gracias por tu amabilidad siempre Kantos...

Many congratulations!!! You do a great job - so you are being rewarded. Hope you get some sleep.
