RE: Yunk Can't Be Bought - It Can't be Taken - It is a community and you can contribute
There appears to be a misunderstanding so let me explain why I sent a contribution to you. As I was researching the history of Yunk (I had learned of it from @empath, as he showed up at our local Bitcoin School), I was very curious about this concept, and spent most of the night studying and reading up on everything I could. It was at this time that I read @siragray's post that identified the users that had originated the concept of yunk. As I was not involved in that origination, and I would be writing about it, I wanted to give a gift of gratitude, because the yunk thing really got me thinking deeply about a number of topics. And i gave them as gifts, because I appreciated it very much. Your idea of "buying yunk" or however you interpreted it was a shock to me, because anyone who knows me well, here and on Steemit, knows that i give gifts when I feel the desire to show my gratitude. It's why i gave clevercreator some steem, and the guy who needed a well built in his village. I use this platform as a way to show my gratitude. I am very sorry that you didn't understand my intentions, or saw them as something else. I felt happy and wanted people to know that I appreciated their efforts to bring something nice into the world. Giving gifts is something that the Steemit platform has made very easy and frictionless to do. And the last thing in the world I would want is for anyone to feel uncomfortable. But my intentions were to show gratitude, and I am still very grateful that this idea has come into Steemit.
Is it my idea? The biggest gift you can give is curating quality content, using minnow booster and randowhale. 80 dollars could have gone a longer way for 80 people. Appreciate the gesture. In future i also ask that you talk to me directly through steemit chat instead of seeking a mediator who cannot speak for me. You are #YUNK Stella if you want to be!
