Block Deals: Bringing Females to the Blockchain, One Deal at a Time! [DTube Exclusive]

in #steemit7 years ago


Hey Dtubers!

So you have to stop what you are doing and check something out!

Seriously, even you @dnews, set down your coffee mug and check this out! hahaha

So, my friend @just2random has been hard at work with @mazzle, @dealsy and @scottweston on this awesome new app called blockdeals.org.

This is basically an app that rewards you in Steem for sharing good deals online!

First of all, who doesn't love a good deal?

Second of all, this passes my "bringing more women to the blockchain" test with flying colors!!!

Since I started here in November, and realized how grossly outnumbered women are on the blockchain, I have tried to put forth a full blown effort to come up with ways to get more women interested in Steem and Cryptocurrency and blockchain technology in general. The first thing that came to my mind was shopping...well and Pinterest (which I am still working on by the way. There WILL be a decentralized Pinterest ya'll, just you wait.)

Shopping especially though really struck me as a way to get more women into Steem and Crypto. This new app by these fine Aussie gents is just the thing to get that all started. Deals are a great way to dip your toes into the water with everything Steem. Deals are familiar to women, and the whole idea is very non-committal. You can try it out and see how it goes, and that is exactly what we need!

So, I am going to shout this new app from the rooftops and start actively adding to its deals database. I have also been a bargain-hunter, so this only makes sense! I have a lot of female friends my age who will also be very interested in all of this!

So, do yourself a favor and visit this awesome new platform, start posting deals and start earning Steem! (Oh and mention it to all the ladies in your life, because it is VERY likely that they will want in!)

Thanks again for all your hard work on this idea gentleman, Steem to the moon!

xx~Beth

GREAT info, powerful ideas worth sharing... This is an awesome post!

Thank you so very much for sharing, we all gain from this.

Namaste :)

This pleases my heart ma'am.
More power to your elbow for the graceful effort to pull women to the blockchain network

Wow! Thanks for sharing us with your followers, and yes we need more female deals on the site. Our vote is still small but we're hoping to get some decent delegations soon. :fingers crossed:

We look forward to upvoting your deals soon. :-D

I need to get back on my deal prowess, and find some stuff worthy of your feed. I'm a bit rusty! I am so very stoked about your app though! Mad props to you all! :)

"I can make Steem Shopping?"

Yes, and this will be one of the easiest ways to get women into crypto without them having to know what it's about.

And as we get closer to a Beta release, we hope there will be community pages/posts and more discussions around being frugal, thrifty etc.

And eventually, if we get the delegations we'd like, we're hoping to get the upvote worth $5 per decent deal. Then the community can decide if it's worth more.

Which is much better than other sites that reward a few cents per deal listing.

I'm glad you are enthused and you should continue down your project path too and together we might just become the No. 1 crypto destination for women.

(And both you and I know how big of a deal that really is ;-)

Thanks for your support @bethwheatcraft!
