✨ The Changes Have Started! - Celebrating My 41st Week on Steemit!

steempowerpics (69)in #community • 7 years ago

Each week more and more details will start to be released about the upcoming projects and changes coming within the BeyondBitcoin and Whaleshares Communities. Opportunities are all around us in the cryptospace, blockchain technology is in it's infancy and everyone here today has a chance to get in on the ground floor.

Last week we asked you... What would you do if you could have your own whale token? Imagine how many incredible projects we could fund if a group of whales worked together, imagine how many people we could reward for contributing time and skills towards community initiatives. Many of you responded to the open challenge on @OfficialFuzzy's blog and it was great to see so many inspirational ideas.

This week Whaleshares got its new logo, and this logo represents both aspects of what is coming. The overall design represents the community that will thrive on the new blockchain as the Whaleshares DAC (Decentralized Autonomous Community) takes shape, and the inner logo represents the new Whaleshares token (WLS) that will be the native token of the new chain. This is just the beginning.

There are so many new platforms in development that will be launching this year, and this gives us the opportunities to establish a decent sized stake in those platforms from the very beginning. It's an opportunity 90% of us missed out on with the launch of the STEEM chain and Steemit platform. Although they will be competing platforms, in many respects we have an opportunity to leverage the synergies between them to help large communities of people ~ while earning decent rewards for your efforts and involvement.

As I have been saying for a while now, 2018 will be a great year for all of us willing to keep our eyes and options open. Thank you to everyone who helped make it another great week, my 41st here on Steemit.

BeyondBitcoin / Whaleshares

My role as the BeyondBitcoin Community Coordinator continues to evolve as the new projects and cross-chain partnerships begin to take shape. There is A LOT going on behind the scenes and this flurry of hectic activity has one goal - to bring positive change and opportunities to everyone who is looking to be part of a vibrant, cooperative and friendly community.

You will here us reference Mutual Aide Societies (MAS) with regard to future chains and platforms as we go along because that is what the team is building. Open and connected societies of people from around he world coming together with the mutual goal of helping one another.
