RE: [Vlog] Steemfest 3 review - The ‘Skin in the Game’ is real
That's a really great way of looking at it! Matt @starkerz mentioned in a round table that Steem is a mecanism to reward voluntary action. That voluntary action - or better: the level of action - can perfectly demonstrated by putting your skin in the game, showing presence and telling people:
I am here, and this is my way of being involved with Steem.
I also completely second what you said about galvanizing people through their apps and sub-communities. People start to be enthusiastic about their specific fields of interest built on Steem - and I think that this is brilliant in terms of fostering loyalty. It's hard to be attached to something abstract like a blockchain, but it's very easy to be attached to an application or a tribe - cause this is how we've built up communities ever since in real life.
I told you before, but I'm going to repeat it again here: it was a huge pleasure meeting you again in person! You're such a positive and inspring person, I always very much enjoy meeting up with you.
We'll keep in touch! Big hugs :-)
The feelings are mutual. It's always good catching up and finding out what you're thinking and doing. I always leave our conversations in awe of how much you give back and knowing I could/ should do more.
In that way you make me that bit better.
Hugs back at ya! :)
Oh nanzooo.... I just had a look at my wallet. Now you really made me shed a tear, thank you so much!!! I don't know what else to say, that's an amazing gesture and I will assure you that the donation is in good hands. We'll be able to make some kids very very happy with it :-)
Thanks for having such a big heart and for being such an amazing human being! Big hugs back again and enjoy your day
