Goldmoney brings world together on Steemit over Where in the World is Goldmoney Challenge Part IsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #steemit7 years ago (edited)

WOW!

When I set out to create "Where in the World is Goldmoney Challenge Part I," to be completely honest, I had no idea whether it would work or not. https://steemit.com/travel/@goldmatters/up-to-1000-sbd-in-rewards-giveaway-where-in-the-world-is-goldmoney-challenge-part-i

I have never created a challenge on Steemit before, or anywhere for that matter, but I had a vision. I imagined people from all over the world, from different cultures, different languages, different geographical and sociological areas doing something in common.

Steemit gave me the perfect platform to reach a large and diverse audience. To see all posts use #goldmoneywashere or #whereintheworldisgoldmoney

We had posts from: USA, Scotland, Australia, UK, India, Japan, Philippines, Netherlands, Dubai, and Canada!!!

Everyone in the world knows what gold is. Eventually everyone WILL know what Goldmoney is. This challenge was just one step into spreading that awareness.

Steemians around the world stepped up to participate in this challenge. Some, like @dreamingirwin took this challenge to heart in a way that was both inspiring and touching.

I learned so much this week and was beyond impressed by the power of this community.

Without further ado, here are the pictures from the challenge!!

The very first submission was from @geekgirl:

The Space Needle. Seattle Washington. USA

#Goldalwayswins and sometimes so does being first! @geekgirl got a bonus for being the first entry that followed the rules of the challenge:

We then had the first of not one , not two, but THREE epic entries by @dreamingirwin. In fact he made such an amazing effort, I decided to bonus him with gas STEEM:

This next one is another example of the creativity of Steemians, by @eyeofthestorm . Gold is also an eye of the storm. Protects and preserves your wealth like none other :)

This photo is for the Gold Bears. Though gold should never be thought of as an investment or a speculation, but as money!! :)

Using this qoute because royalty lived here!

So creative, great job @eyeofthestorm

One of my 10 primary locations for this contest was delivered on in this post at the TAJ MAHAL! By @mady27

Fantastic!!! In India, gold is commonly used as a store of generational wealth, transfered down by families through gold jewelry. Read how Goldmoney can allow you to do the same through Mene with artist Diana Picasso. Yes THAT Picasso! https://www.goldmoney.com/corporate/news/goldmoney-announces-investment-in-mene-inc
