RE: "The Dictator's Dash" / "La Carrera del Dictador" ... A Fundraiser For a Friend
I love @hlezama, have followed his story, and would love to donate $50 USD to him. Do you know how I can do that?
I've had two daughters head off to college 4 and 5 hour drives away. I bought them both cars. They came home often and we still speak almost daily and they are still very much a part of my daily life. My eldest is now 28 and living 800 miles away in Nashville. Visiting Nashville does not suck, so there's that.
The loss of her immediate presence will be a gain, like all losses. But I feel your pain, I know too that at first it hurts terribly.
If I do manage to send Henrry $50, my topic for you to write about is in this link: https://steempeak.com/freedom/@owasco/freedom
(sorry for the self-promotion, but it's not myself I am promoting!)
Oh I see it should be in steem. I don't even have that much liquid steem. hm. I'll figure it out and let you know.
@owasco,
There is still honor in the world and I thank you for demonstrating the fact.
I clicked on your link ... Holy Cow ... now THAT's poetic fodder. I will need more information and I will need to think, deeply. I promise though, the result will be spectacular. We'll talk via DM. My link is in PHC's Discord Channel.

Tears. Thank you. I feel so much more having visited those two men. A very unexpected gift given to me by MY stupendous daughter, who led me there.
@owasco,
BTW, I would have upvoted and commented on your post but, for whatever reason, such buttons don't appear on SteemPeak posts. I don't know why or how to fix it.
Quill
@quillfire you can change it away from steempeak to Steemit.com just by replacing "peak" with "it". I convert everything to steemit.com as honestly I haven't found anything I like better.
@thedarkhorse,
That simple? Thanks for the insight. I've been unable to interact with my friends' Steempeak posts and it's been killing me. Often, I DM them instead.
Quill
@quillfire I write all my posts on steempeak and post in busy for the upvote. Then I open up Steemit and hit post and it shows as a steemit post and drop those in the post promotion.
Oh yes I've heard that before. It happens to me if I click on a link to a partiko post, but if I use my steempeak search bar to then go directly to that person's blog and scroll down to the post, I can upvote and comment. I prefer steempeak's publishing tool to steemit's. But I really have very little idea about the tech aspects of all this, and use what I am most familiar with to save time.
I write on steempeak as I like their tools and post it on busy for the upvote. :)

what is busy? I tried something like that by drafting the post in steempeak and posting on esteem, but esteem got way more of my "earnings" than I did from their measly upvotes. I see that it is working for others though.
Just another like partiko, esteem, steempeak. palnet type place. You need to use the busy tag to get the vote.
Here is a link I found for sign up. https://signup.steemit.com/?ref=busy
The upvote is based on a percentage. Good luck and if you need any help, ask ne or anyone in discord! :)
Thank you very much, @owasco for your kind words and your generous pledge
My pleasure Henrry. I'm watching bitcoin market right now to try to maximize what I can send you. I missed a lovely spike yesterday! I have even less of BTC than I do of steem. I hope you can hang on another day or two. Can you?
Sure, thank you so much. With the SBDs we have cashed already we have been able to buy some healthy food. Diet is important and we can't always affford the healthy stuff. I still have to get the prices of the sonogram and lab tests to make sure the kidney is ok and there are other stones on their way. Those test can be very pricy and estimates are valid for only 48 hours (prices fluctuate that fast). In the mean time I keep taking the antibiotics, which have hit my stomach quite badly this time, but hopefully for the better.
A question, because I am also supporting another family in Venezuela (that was trying to raise pigs inside their home so the pigs would not be stolen!) that does not have any cryptocurrency. Is it easier to buy things with crypto? and how do you do that?
No. No many people deal with cryptos, actually. In my case, I cash the steems or sbds from an account call orinococambio. They set up a website where you log in via steemconnect and they easily allow you to transfer your steem or other crptos and they deposit the BS in one's local bank account
