Ask and Ye Shall Receive: Massive THANK YOU to the STEEM Community! 2/3rd of Goal Raised

in #life8 years ago (edited)

Yesterday I wrote a post letting people know I was sort of in a bit of a bind with my current living situation and needed a hand. I laid down to sleep early this morning after staying up the day before stressing only to wake up to my post trending on the front page of Steemit!

(Screenshot showing my post as #1 trending! - steemit.com)

HOLY CRAP, I did NOT Expect Such an Amazing Response!

A huge heartfealt thank you to everyone who's voted and or donated to helping me relocate to the city. While it is kind of a crappy circumstance the relentless support from our community has seriously helped boost my morale, my moving budget and my future outlook.

This Community is a Foundation to the Future

The countless hours I've poured into the network don't go unnoticed as it's become increasing apparent to me that our STEEM community does give a damn about me and what I do!

Not only is it incredible to receive such amazing support from our network in a time of need but it goes to show to everyone on the internet that STEEM takes care of it's own. I may not be an official staff member of Steemit Inc. But I'm certainly an official staff member of STEEM!

My primary goal in the future is to finish development of my current projects and launch the full version of them in order to bring more use and value to our networks tokens.

Thank you to Everyone who has Voted and Donated <3

I hit the top of trending a few days ago, and it feels so good. I find myself wondering if our blog could put a gold border around any posts that topped out. Anyone who's scrolling through our profile could quickly see the most popular ones.

that's a good idea! but it is probably very difficult for me to enjoy it if ever implemented. lol.

That IS a good idea!

Maybe a Gold / Silver / Bronze highlight on posts that ranked in the top 3 trending at any point?

Dig the think-tank mentality sir! Keep at it!

Just so you know, I haven't forgotten!
This is the perfect post for me to advertise what I am going to do so that the community can get behind it.
Saturday the 17th is maple syrup day, so I will be creating a sweet canadian inspired Holi-Art post dedicated to you - whatever funds are raised in STEEM and SBD will become yours at payout!

Everyone watch for my Holi-Art post on Saturday, December 17th and hit that upvote button as hard as you can to help a fellow steemian in need!

You are the man rigaronib!

Thank you. Your art is damn awesome man!

D'aaawww garsh. Haha
Thanks for all you do, buddy!

Thats so awesome for you ! Good luck ! I wish nothing but the best for you moving forward ! The support on Steemit for its fellow steemians is unmatched! Steem on my friend ! ✌👌👍upvoted and resteemed! 🆙⤴

While even though the winter move is going to suck... At the very least now I can start looking at places to move to realistically knowing that I actaully have some of the finances I need to back the move.

Less stress = more productivity. While still a stressful time the whole "not knowing" if I'd be out on the streets was giving me terrible anxiety and crushing my morale. Moving forward and into the city will be a great step for me.

If you want to spend winter somewhere thats not flat out awful (ie, somewhere not in canada) and you can get down here, i have a guest house thats literally sitting empty.

Yes for sure ! Just stay positive! Things usually work out for the best , or just how their meant to be ! Good luck ! I know the feeling im living paycheck to paycheck myself ! One day i will make enough money on steemit and retire to my little property in the country ! It doesnt even have a power shack yet ! Lol ! Thats why all my blogs 100 % steem power up! One day it will happen ! Steem on ! 👌👍

Upvoted! We got you back, Of course we wouldn't leave you hanging ^_^

Thank you sir. The community banding together in support of myself has been humbling to say the least.

Your welcome, We all support you. It a very strong thing to ask for help! Glad to know that you almost reached your goal!

Also I sent a donation your way to help out, Best of wishes on you move!^_^

Thank you man! Much appreciated. While the move will suck it's going to be a bunch less stressful knowing I've got the STEEM nation backing me.

Your welcome, Pretty much have all the money I own in SBD/SP. So Its good to support steemit and steemian supporters. Also I ust like helping people out in need.

Yep, Steem nations got your back ^_^

Always make sure to diversify man. Nothing in the crypto space is a for sure thing!

I've been guilty of all eggs in one basketing before as well. While I do believe STEEM will be incredibly valueable in the future I think with hardfork 16 we may see some serious price declines for the next few months. Not sure how that will

Hey thanks for your last message I really appreciate it (the thread ran out). because you are totally right. I appreciate you looking out for me, especially after the hard fork. @ats-david stats have been helping me a lot. So I used to be all invested to steemit but just sold off mostly all my steem for BTC at the high price (sadly I missed the pump though O_O) before the prices declined like they are now. I will reinvest in steem once I see the bottom. SBD Luckily is more stable that steem so I am happy with holding on to that for the interest it makes ^_^

No worries man. Have to look out for those who look out for you. :)

SBD peg is somewhat reliant on STEEM price.. So with rapidly falling STEEM prices you may also see SBD drop too.

Now.. If you believe it will recover and SBD goes down to lets say 60-70 cents... Buying then with the possibility of a +40% return I would view as a good possible investment.

I'm no pro. But I've been in crypto long enough to pick up a few tricks and tips that I can share. :)

Truth! ^_^

Oh yeah, I guess I didn't really think about that. right now it is at 95-97 cents I think. I do believe steem will drop now to .05-.10 cents.

Thanks for the heads up about SBD, I forgot that it is tied into steem :p definitely going to buy back at bottom, I know steem will go up after the affect of the hardfork wear off.

Got to prepare accordingly to keep my investments stable. naw, you a good amount of knowledge, at least enough to know what your talking about. Thanks again for the reminder of all possibly outcomes ^_^

We will LEAVE NO FELLOW STEEMIAN BEHIND!

Awesome, @klye
And this post isn't doing too bad either.
In case you missed it, I started a barn raising. STEEM and SBD generated from the post will be sent to you. :)

I think by weeks end I'll likely be at my goal.. Now just to find a place to move to and find buddy with a truck to move the stuff that won't fit in the GF's car.

That post is amazing by the way. Thank you a whole bunch merej99. :)

Moving out of this god forsaken village and into a civilized section of the planet will help immensely. :)

Good luck with the move :)
