Hello Steemit family
My name is Oscar Sandoval Zuñiga. I am from Colombia and live in a beautiful city called Popayan, which is located in the south of the country.
I am an accountant and hold a master's degree in Latin American Political Problems Studies. I am currently studying a doctorate in anthropology in Cauca University.
In these photographs, I am with my girlfriend, a friend and some colleagues of the doctorate in anthropology. You can also see the Puracé Volcano, known as the mountain of fire.
In this photograph I am with my mother and some brothers and sisters, nephews and nieces.
Today, the Colombian people are happy because the national government and the country's oldest guerrilla have signed a peace agreement. This means the definitive ceasefire and cessation of hostilities in all the national territory.
It really is a very significant step for the humblest people who have suffered with rigor the consequences of an armed conflict of almost 50 years, to get peacefulness.
I am very happy to belong to the Steemit tribe. It is important to have a sense of belonging to something. Why do I say that Steemit is a wonderful tribe?
I explain it with my three reasons to belong to the Steemit community:
- In a tribe, good and evil affect equally all its members. Some tribes practiced and still practice what we know as the “Gift Economy”.
The basis of the Gift Economy is to give something to a visitor or a member of a community, without speculative or financial interest. The most important thing in the gift economy is trust, reciprocity, and equitable distribution of tribal goods. What matters here is the common good and mutual cooperation to strengthen tribal ties of solidarity.
The Gift Economy has similar fundamentals to the attention economy, which is the basis of relationships in the Steemit tribe, and this is what I like the most about Steemit. We know that Steemit is a social network and content platform that allows its members to benefit from the attention economy.
- Depending on the feedback you give to the Steemit community for the high value content that you share to strengthen it, you will get a share of the Steem rewards fund.
In Facebook the situation is different. In that social network, the economic benefits are entirely for their owners. You permanently contribute content, comments and votes to keep it alive. You will never win even a dollar of the multi million-dollar income earned by that corporation.
The gift economy with Steemit came to stay and grow. Day by day it becomes a potential alternative to transform the world of social networks under the reciprocity and mutual solidarity standard, generating benefits to promote good living within this beautiful tribe.
- All those who belong to the Steemit tribe know that the world of cryptocurrencies will sooner or later dominate the world. This is an exciting and mysterious world that calls us to take advantage of the multiple opportunities and to take on new challenges that are presented to us with determination.
Cryptocurrencies are the starting point of the digital monetary revolution that will mark the history of humanity forever. Soon we will talk about the world before and after the Cryptocurrencies. The invitation is for us to ask along many more followers to get on the train of history. Steemit is like that train where we can write that story together.
My purpose within Steemit is to make at least one daily publication, both in English and Spanish with content that adds to the efforts you have been making to contribute to the strengthening and enhancement of our great Steemit tribe. I'm sure I'll learn a lot from you.
Thank you for your interest, for reading these brief lines, also for your comments and suggestions. Your votes will be a sign of affection that I will acknowledge.
Follow me, and I will follow you with joy!
Lots of success for everyone. Have a great day friend.
