Replay: Weekly @YouAreHOPE Transparent Town Hall with Founder/Witness @SirCork

in #youarehope7 years ago (edited)

Hey HOPE-ful Steemitizens!

Here's the replay of the 5th YouAreHOPE Transparent Town Hall, now finally returning to a weekly format, but moved to Friday nights, and no longer on Tuesday nights. Tuesday night just wasn't working out for my schedule and I missed several weeks after returning from my six country world-circumnavigation steem meetup trip back in March.

I apologize for missing so many weeks, nearly a month, but was always available and accessible to the community during that time in the YouAreHOPE community discord, of course.

From now on, I commit to keeping the weekly open community discussions going on the air, and they are always well attended by concerned and charitable steemitizens, so I am thankful to you for all of that.

Without further ado, here is the latest recording of the live weekly @YouAreHOPE Transparent Town Hall with @SirCork

Thanks for continuously mentioning, promoting, and supporting @YouAreHOPE, doing good work and service missions with the help of generous steemitizen donors, and the earnest, transparent efforts of the Agents of HOPE, steemitizens themselves, like you, acting as our boots on the ground to deliver humanitarian aid and basic fundamental Help, Opportunity, Purpose & Empowerment for disadvantaged people, in economically distraught conditions all over the world.

When I was a child I imagined myself as a Superhero, of those who can fly like Super Man does, but I've grown up and I see things differently.

In the real world there are Heroes that are worth Gold, Very good work. @youarehope // @SirCork // @SteemStarNetwork

I upvoted this right away, but failed to respond. We have since spoken in discord, as well, but i wanted to publically thank you for the very kind and encouraging words.

You are are very insightful and philosophical man, and i admire that. I also admire all the work you have done for the children and people in your community in Venezuela and I am very honored and proud to have been a tiny part of your efforts there. Thank you for being you, my friend!

My friend and brother of heart, Honor is mine.

Nothing is more important than bringing smiles and fidelity to communities that only need a little push to get ahead.

Since I had the opportunity to work hand in hand with You Are Hope I have learned to value the beauty of life and you have been the person that inspired me, you are a person who takes the time to listen and see the two sides of the coin, you have the patience and commitment to help the dema and that shows that you have the greatest heart of the universe, I mean it very seriously. Thanks for being my friend. @sircork

Likewise Big DUUUUUDE!

each every one child's imagine such as a it dear /@bigdude
really like your comments

Thank you very much my friend.

You are a superhero to many of us @bigdude with all the work you do defending and aiding the oppressed, the fatherless and the destitute. You are, at least in my mind, Superman!

Wow, what an honor to be considered a Superhero.

The only truth is that I am a person like you or like any other, I fight for all those who need it most.

You are the Heroes, you are responsible for what I do to be a reality, for God to Bless you. @sgt-dan

I have double posted comments by mistake too, but I like to upvote good comments and it does not cost me anything! Plus it is fun!

Sorry, my internet that day is very slow and I did not notice if it had been published twice sorry!

You were warned and given advice. Please, for your own sake, do not keep this up.

Good to see a post from a legit charity here on the trending page. Way to go, Cork!

I thought this was worth doing. The world needs to see that we are doing GOOD here amidst all the trash on the trending page. I used bots as you know, and I'm proving a point with them right now.

This might be one way to save the trending page.

Kind of my primary goal is to show that if you want to survive in this environment, you have to play with the tools of this environment. I was never all that anti-bid-bot anyway, as I am a FIRM anarcho-capitalist and voluntaryist, and frankly, jealous whiners aside who haven't been able to become successful enough in life to use them, themselves, the bid bots are a free market economy construct engaged in at all levels by user's voluntary activities, be it operating one, funding one with delegations, or voting with them. And all of that is allowed in a dPOS based chain and our code.

VOLUNTARY, FREE MARKETS are what are in play here, and SHOULD be.

This is how the game is played here. Don't like it? Don't play. No amount of wishing markets worked otherwise is going to work. Otherwise socialists would win and starve us ALL to death.

Here is another superhero! One of the Queens of STEEM and on my shortlist of #TEAMGOOD members. WonderWoman has nothing on this lady.

My ode to you @rhondak! Continue to fight the good fight on the ground for our 4 legged friends and for justice here at STEEM.

In other words, You go girl!

It was another superb Transparent Town Hall I throughly enjoyed it, and I like the new Schedule Friday nights are now jam packed all the way with great shows on SteemStarNetwork.

I fully appreciate what you have done to get this to trending, Charities need funding to do good works - and that can only come one of two ways - putting your own money in or getting support from outside. I know @youarehope get's so much community support..but it could have so much more - I really do not understand why Steemit has so many who could upvote these posts massively - yet they don't. No cost in upvote and sharing, it's not like you can miss @youarehope it's all over Steemit.

You have made an incredible difference to the lives of so many struggling in the worst conditions in the poorest regions of this planet, this tireless effort is something we should all support however we can.

I don't understand it either. All I can assume is that the small minds behind some of the big money don't like ME, so they the leave the world's most suffering people in the most distraught of situations, like all the orphanages we've worked with in Venezuela for example, to cope along with the wonderful and heartfelt generosity of minnows and plankton, rather than lending a hand here.

Then again, isn't that always the way? The rich get richer and the poorest do the most for each other?

Well if it is not another #teemgood guy! I will keep it short and sweet, you and those like you sir, you ain't the greatest karoake singer of all time but, you still...

Really great initiative team, literally your work reflects the real meaning of the line as "We belongs to one family and that is Humanity", and helping those people who are lacking the basic needs, can give them new hope and in my opinion there are less people who believe in true development of the human beings because the greed is increasing and the next thing is greedy politics which is suppressing the humanity. Keep doing the great work and wishing you an great day team. Stay blessed. 🙂

Less is more, if everyone can contribute at least less then we will have more to give.
-Own Opinionated Thoughts

So wise and very well put. It is not the amount one gives, but the gift itself. It never ceases to amaze me that it is normally the poor that give and not those with means.

Excuses like, ...giving makes people lazy...; Let them earn their way like I did...; Let the parents take care of them....

The You Are Hope Foundation primarily focuses on the care of defenceless children and the needs of those that are in destroyed economies.

We belongs to one family and that is Humanity

I wonder if that would be too long to use as a tag? I will just leave this here:

#WeBelongToOneFamilyAndThatIsHumanity


Thanks for your kind response and for highlighting the tag line. Wishing you an great day. Stay blessed. 🙂

You speak volumes here ;) Thank you!

Welcome and thank you so much for your kind words. 🙂

like getting a good article dear @chireerocks

I expected the link to the discord server of this Great group be included in posts like this for people to join if they so desire.

good point, oversight, i'll add it now, it's in all our other posts from the past year and on the account profile, I was just doing too many things at once and posting this while in two other simultaneous voice meetings for communities I help manage. lol. standby for post update, and here's the link now...

https://discord.gg/TWk2TdE

In our lives, we will often see that someone has been wronged. This happens both professionally and socially. Many people who deserve recognition don't get it. By starting to fight and making sure that others get what they deserve, we become real heroes. We are thus making a lasting impact on their lives and will be rewarded with love and help in the future when we need it. Karma's law says, " whatever you do, you'll get three times as much back." In this sense, helping others is selfish, but it is still a good thing that we must do without fear, with love and with the knowledge that someday we will be rewarded for it. Helping others brings prosperity and happiness to our own lives.

@youarehope & @sircork thanks for all the work you do on SteemIt here. Keep it up!

Giving it all we've got captain!

very thankful commitment dear /@steemitqa

if you put the same comment in one more place on this page, I'm going to drop @steemcleaners on your spamming butt and not just flag you myself anymore. Look around, is anyone else acting like you? Are you getting flagged all the time for your useless spam? Maybe stop doing it then? Why would you even bother, what do you hope to achieve with this crap posting and filling up peoples comments with your useless spam?

Do you want to join the party? Let me give you a little advice.

  • Read the post.

  • Watch the video

  • Write a comment what the video and post are about and quote from it in your native language then use Google to translate it to English.

  • Be sincere. Some folks here have influence, history and very recognizable names on STEEM, you are not a member of that club... yet (You're Eligible Too).

  • Don't be a brown-noser. It gets tiresome after a while.

Easy peasy squeezy

Although I may not agree you with 100% on the Bot thing, I totally appreciate what @youarehope is doing. Keep on keeping on. You're rocking it. my man :)

For YAH, this is basically a one off. As to bot disagreement, you may not like them, but it's not even my opinion that it's an unfettered free market economy at work. That's just a simple fact, and I'm a HUGE fan of unfettered free market, voluntary economies. 100% of the time. It' is the MOST fair way for things in life to work, not the other way around, as people who generally don't do well in such economies would claim. Why they don't do well in these economies has reasons that abound, but unrestrained potential beats regulated unfairness every single day.

Note, I accidentally posted that as YAH, and want it in MY own words so the comment I just removed was this one, verbatim, from the wrong chrome window ;)

As Cork's witness partner, I find myself at loose ends over the bot issue, because I don't like them, either. However, the market demanded them, so here they are. I'm working on other initiatives to try and bring organic curation back into play. But in the meanwhile, I do support Cork's decision to bot this post to the top of trending, because Steemit is hemorrhaging users and new signups are down by 50% between March and April. I think part of that has to do with what people see when they're directed to to the trending page and it's the first thing they see. So yes, I'm all for putting some of Steemit's heart on trending--the communities, the philanthropic initiatives--the good news, in other words. Not just our dirty underwear. LOL I hope to see more posts like this one parked on top of trending in the days to come.

As a pragmatic plankton that believes that upvote bots are the ruination of this platform and destroy the dream of its creator, I concur with both @sircork and @rhondak. So let me leave this for All the commenters...

I hear you talking that talk, now will you walk that walk?
