Now before anyone gets the wrong idea, I am not hosting a steemit meet-up. This event is for those who have never heard of steemit and hopefully those who have never heard of crypto-currencies too.

WARNING! LONG ARTICLE AHEAD
I understand that some people do not enjoy reading long articles, but at the same time support what I stand for. If so please scroll to the bottom and read the main crux of what this post is about
(Go o, it's only 6 or 7 lines 😉 It is the part that starts with the heading: "I am a steemit mole")

I am not an expert on the subject of steemit.com and neither am I very knowledgeable about crypto-currencies. So you will be forgiven for asking questions like,

"What the fudge is article61 doing?!

OR

"He's a noob, and doesn't know enough to do something like this, is he mad?!"

My thoughts, exactly...

So I must just be being arrogant? Bolshy? Big-headed....?

I'd like to think it is more on the side of being a bit cheeky, or maybe just a bit of a rebel 😉And being from Nottingham, I might just get away with saying I am a modern day Robin Hood 🔱

Only time will tell, I suppose...

So to quell any anxiety that I may absolutely bomb on the night and destroy any chance that steemit has, of getting the attention of my towns-folk. All because I didn't really have a clue what I was talking about(Fact).

But before you start flagging me, in the hope that I will "wind-me-neck-in" and stop this foolish endeavored, let me show you the method of my madness and maybe you will all later come to celebrate it's genius...

Now that was arrogant! But you don't get shrinking violets in the gardens of revolution,
do you?

I have a cunning plan....

Part 1 of my cunning plan has already been explained in my previous blogs about this event. For those who missed it, I am employing the techniques of Edward Bernays(The king of mind control and the Nephew of Sigmund Freud, no less)

In short I am connecting peoples inner desires, to the need to become a member of the steemit community....

Sorry, that is not a good example for me to give, let me try again.

For those who read the posters, my private PM's, and those who attend the event, it is my intention to leave them feeling like their future financial security depends on them getting to grips with the world of crypto-currencies(Fact).

I will also make it clear that signing up to steemit.com is THEIR chance to get ahead of the competition. An attribute that today's society regards as imperative, in order to survive(Another fact).

Dog eat dog, as the saying goes...

Part 2 Of My Cunning plan...

So now we get to the reason of today's post and you get to hear what I have been up to, in the days leading up to this event.

As it is only 2 days before I host my 1st steemit promo event, I thought it would be a good idea to start propagating my own agenda.

If I was going to give this the respect it deserved, due to the gravity of the social problems we face today, it was time to think smart and be tactical in my approach.

After all, I am only one man and I can only reach so many towns-folk.

Therefore, I must spread my weight as widely as humanly possible.

• Pubs.
• Colleges.
• Shops.
• Parks
• Shop-keepers
• Family.
• Friends.
• FaceBook😝
• Tinder...?(No, swipe left)

Haha! Maybe all us steemians should do a 'Tinder-Bomb' campaign, one day? Imagine that... 850ish(my following) steemians, all making individual Tinder profiles leading to our steemit profiles, under the name STEEMIT(1),STEEMIT(2), etc etc...

"2 Birds with one stone", as the saying goes...😉

Not just a pretty face, after all...

Time for a top-up!

You see I might not be University educated, particularly brave, or quick-witted, but when a loved one asked you to perform a task that seems to be "above your station" and gives you that instinctive motivation, then you find the right tools for the job...

Haha! Jean-claude Van Who?!!

Now not all of us have a trampoline and a childhood of watching Bruce Lee and Van Dam movies. Life just isn't fair, I know...

For the rest of you, you will have to settle with having a corrupt Fiat cash system and an even more corrupt government, as your MOTIVATION.
Then you must practice the art of crypto! And become a crypto-jedi, who uses Blockchain technology as a TOOL, to defeat its foe!
(You can do this! It is how the human species has survived, so far...)

It is time to admit that the world has come to a point where we must decide which side we are on

(In the most un-dictatorial way possible)

As we know, history is written by the winner(Fact) and our adversaries have always been one step ahead of us, which has caused the gradual decline in our liberties over the centuries.

My name is article61 and it refers to Magna Carta 1215.

This was a moment in history when OUR-KIND fought back and created the laws that used to protect us and have recently been decimated by the Bilderbergs one-world agenda.

I am a proud member of The Lawful Rebellion. But no matter what your political persuasion may be, I am even prouder of the cobbled road I choose to walk with my brothers and sisters around the world. We are the truth and we are the only future.

The chips will eventually land where they will and we have limited abilities to affect this forth-coming evolution. But if it was in our nature to hide from adversity and cower from bullies for the rest of our lives, then we surely would have never stepped from the cave....

It is our duty to protect our children. Just like it has been the duty of every era before us. There is no other option and if you are reading this post, then you are already part of the revolution.

(Re-stem it and for what it's worth, I'll follow you to the end of the earth)

The Elephant in the Room...

As is always the case and even with our beloved Blockchain technology, this is no doubt in the control of the government and its many secret agencies.

It will no doubt be part of a long-term plan that has been encroaching on us all and unwittingly poisoning our rebellious instincts against tyranny and corruption. This is their technology and it is being used to enslave us in an eventual digital tax-grid(Universal) and Carbon-allowance. All wrapped up in a handy slogan, like "Social responsibility", to get us all clapping along to the new international anthem.

Mark my words....

Crypto-currency, in its wild-west state, is the bow around the epic-crypto-turd. For now, the blockchain is like "whack-a-mole" and the government are desperately trying to tame the Kraken

Look at it this way.... How do you think they ever got us to smoke cigarettes? By telling us they're going to cause us an agonising death? I think not...

No, they wrap it in a chinchilla coat and have a celebrity parade it around, as if it is the next "Torch of Liberty".

Thanks Eddy...

"I wouldn't pi$$ on him, if he was on fire", is a phase that springs to mind...

While the crypto world is ran by the cowboys and the west is still won by the gun, we only have the option of separating ourselves from this corrupt un-reality. This will only be achieved if we have an alternative and block-chain is giving us just that, but only for the time being(Whack-a-mole, remember?)

I am a steemit mole and I love uprooting things 😇

Steemit seems to be a bastion for those who seek truth, justice, acceptance and peace.
Long may that be so.
It is in our own interest to promote this site and the financial rewards are just the tip of the iceberg. If there was ever a product that sold itself, steemit is that product. The event I am hosting will be held at my local pub and I hope to get 10 people attending.
This is my first event and folk are still very self-conscious of being the first to step forward.
We must be there to reassure them and be sure to give them a real guiding-hand, when they do finally reach out into the potentially idyllic world of blockchain technology.

As I said at the beginning, I have limited knowledge of Block-chain or steemit.com, but I can give people the accounts of my-own experiences, so far, since I stepped out onto the block-chain.
I have been enriched by steemit.com and while I believe I am treading a very narrow edge, I also think steemit is on the gentler side of the fall and could go on to be a real thorn in the side of our oppressors.

BRING ON WEDNESDAY!
