Tell me, what is your upvote worth?
Did you think of a monetary value? Maybe you thought your upvote was worth less than a penny, or maybe itβs a much larger amount that changes with a slider on a scale and the current value of Steem on the market.
Or maybe you thought about it in terms of curation. Your vote is part of your voice, and youβre able to use that voice to help bring the things you enjoy to the top of the trending list.
I will take that one step further. Your vote, right now, has the ability to end pain and suffering in the world.
You donβt believe me? Iβll be a bit more clear. Iβm not talking about ending all pain and suffering that exists everywhere in the world. Iβm talking about a specific situation where a woman I know is in a lot of pain that can be ended within a week.
I met @artsygoddess on the MSP Discord, and we both found ourselves on the #TeamGirlPowa server later on. We were chatting, and she mentioned that the crown on her tooth was broken and she was about $200 short of the $900 she would need to get it fixed.
She also mentioned that she was in so much pain that the only thing she could eat was soft noodles.
My response was instinctive - that shouldnβt happen. More to the point, on a platform where a simple vote carries the weight of a currency behind it, that didnβt need to be happening.
So welcome to the Crown Fundraiser - an initiative formed by #TeamGirlPowa to come together and help one of our sisters in need.
One of the first conversations that I had with @limabeing, the creator of #TeamGirlPowa, was about power. To me, power is a very real thing that involves the ability to act, direct your will, and achieve results. If you have a job, you have power. If you have a responsibility, you have power. Every choice that you make that leads to a result is a reflection of your power.
So Steemit, do we have the power to end this girlβs pain? The goal is simple - $200 by the end of the week. I am asking you for your upvotes with the promise that every Steem Backed Dollar I receive from this post will go to @artsygoddess.
But wait, thereβs more!
We arenβt just asking you for your votes, we are here to give something back to you as well. Throughout the week, the #teamgirlpowa and #crownfundraiser tags will feature work by our members who have promised to donate the SBD from those posts to Artsy for her crown.

Do you want to contribute?
If you want to support @artsygoddess directly and have a few spare SBD in your wallet, send them her way!
The wonderful @aggroed, founder of the Minnow Support Project, has pledged 25 STEEM already to match your donations at the end of the fundraiser, so anything you give to @artsygoddess up to that limit will be effectively doubled!
If you want to donate your time to the fundraiser, during the week of Nov 12 - Nov 19 you can make a post on the #teamgirlpowa and #crownfundraiser tags and promise to donate the SBD from that post to @artsygoddess.
I will add your post to the collection, and we can see just how big this will grow!
Wish my vote was worth more...resteemed it anyway. π

I wish I could something more than my worthless vote. I actually checked my balance yesterday and there is not much. Also digged out an old BTC wallet which is also not having anything worth.

@artsygoddess is a wonderful person, one of the many i've had the privilege to meet on PAL. My vote is only worth 5c so i would much rather contribute something similiar to @aggroed i would like to add my own 25 steem or sbd whatever it is to the pledge.
I assume you know who i am on discord @ellievallie so contact me there and let me know how/where/when to send it.
