Yesterday history was made when the first public work exclusively funded by cryptocurrency was erected in the Herbert von King Park in Brooklyn, New York. Executed by the design collective @hitheryon (made up of @voronoi and @hansikhouse) the planters and benches now situated in the park broadcast a message to the world that blockchain technologies and cryptocurrencies (specifically the Steem Blockchain and steemit.com) are already having a meaningful impact on the real world.
Only The Beginning
While Mike and Kirk did a great job of convincing the right people and getting the project done, it became clear yesterday that it was difficult to fully appreciate the potential impact until one saw the final project in real life. Yesterday many became true believers! In the video below you can see the Head of the Conservancy's excitement and his eagerness to have the entire park upgraded!
Head of the Conservancy saying "Thank you to Steemit"
More Than Just "Real"
While it would have been great just to have the physical structures made, Kirk and Mike also made sure that the fixtures were both sturdy and beautiful. We (and by that I mean the whole Steem community) didn't just furnish the corner of a park; we beautified it!
Thanks to Everyone Who Came Out!
It was also great to see so many awesome Steemians come out to support the project. A non-exhaustive list includes: @roychoi (who flew in all the way from Korea for the event AND brought swag!!!), @prufarchy, @drbaker86, @nickytothenines (who wrote a great article on the event), @krypto101, @dougkarr, @ryan313 (a proud minnow), and more!
My video of the event is below, but be sure to stay tuned until the end to watch @ryan313 preach STEEM to those drawn in by the event. Clearly this physical space is already getting people's attention and interest, and will continue to do so. Enjoy!
It was really great being with all of you for this event and making history :)
How can we change the world next?

Yea please keep me informed I want to stay included 🙏🏻🎉 I worked as a teacher in Paterson New Jersey for 10 years as a Special Education teacher..... I would love to see a project there!! My brother in law is a fireman in the city as well, so maybe we could do something by a school/firehouse! Just a thought!!

Why not try Hinchcliffe Stadium or buy the Great Falls. The park would be a nice setting with the school in the back ground. They display Firetrucks in and around the Stadium.

REALLY AMAZING for ARTISTS to be able to display their work at a place like STEEMPARK as well as put your steem handle on it!!!@ryan313
WOW REVOLUTIONARY!!
It' s Like paying yours dues by supporting local communities and In return displaying your work to the people in your local community!. This way of decentralizing everything is absolutely amazing! As I continue to draw conclusions of how this steem Blockchain technology along with crypto currencies may play out it is mind-boggling! The STEEMIT platform allows anybody anywhere, to earn a living creating anything they can think of. And if whatever your creation is blogging, photography, basket weaving, finance, crypto currency, nature, you get the idea.... STEEMIT offers A Decentralized platform to perform any of them IDEAS mentioned above. These ideas drop traditional earning ideas on their head! In today's world conformity sucks. And STEEM makes it that you can earn a living by not being a spoke in the wheel, but by being a creative, enthusiastic, passionate part of a community, all while being supported by that same community. Astonishing, as more and more people in the world migrate to the steam platform due to this earnings potential it is only going to grow exponentially!

Oh my hat!!! That is so awesome! What a fantastic initiative. We need to spread this worldwide. It concerns me that so few seem to realise the importance of getting into cryptocurrency NOW. In years to come it is going to be a major regret of many. I think it will be the wealthy and the poor. There will be no middle class...when fiat becomes obsolete. But by then... it will no longer be realisitcally affordable for most to obtain the higher valued crypto. Just my opinion... but ya... anyhooo.... love what you are doing. 👌
