I did a daily dose this week on how my wallet had been losing in value on here but at the time I didn’t realize that there is bright side to that situation until just now. Seeing how this is the Saturday edition of the Daily Dose that means I will be sponsoring three more members of the steemit community into the program known as 
Hive account@steembasicincome.
Every sponsorship ends up costing me one steem in order to enroll a person. The drop in the value of steem almost makes me feel guilty of being a cheapskate, this week it will cost me less than $5 USD value, since the price of steem is currently around $1.65. When I first started doing this price of steem was around $5 and so it was $15 worth of steem I was spending for three sponsorship. I might have to consider sponsoring more people each week at these values, I may as well, it’s not like I can’t earn some more.
I almost always struggle on making the decision on who to sponsor each week. I see a lot of good people here and I know that there are plenty more that I haven’t even run across yet on here. Then there are the ones that were doing good things and just never got the support of the community and ended up disappearing. The thing with the steem basic income program is that in order to see any benefit you really need to be posting to your blog. Comments are an important part of this community but they haven’t got the program down yet to the comment level where steem basic income could work for responses to posts.
This week I have three ladies that I am sponsoring into the program. The first is 
Hive account@sunnyali , I know Sunny from the poker games over at 
Hive account@spl (steem poker league) where she would play every so often. She wasn’t a regular player, by regular I mean frequent player, but she was always pleasant and pretty good as well. Recently I ran across a post that was asking for people to show some love and support for Sunny. It turns out that her life has taken some twists and turns recently and now she is having to raise her children as a single parent. Sunny is looking for a better place of employment to earn enough to support her children and herself. I can’t offer her any work but I can give a little help in the form of this sponsorship and I would encourage anyone reading this to do the same as well for Sunny. One steem from each of us isn’t going to break the bank in most cases but it can make a big difference for this young lady and the gift will continue to give each and every time she shares a post with the steemit community. I don’t ask for help with things very often, but I am asking for your help in order to help her, take a moment when you are done reading this and join me in sponsoring her over at Hive account@steembasicincome.
Next up we have 
Hive account@natubat who is an outdoor enthusiast from over in the UK and I enjoy reading her blogging about hiking and walking the hills and mountains. Her latest post could just save your life if you happen to read it, she gives you a tip that you need to know about when it comes to hair. Now if you are asking yourself, “how in the hell can my hair save my life?”, get over there and read her blog and then you will know. It isn’t my job to tell you the story when she can and does a much better job of it, but finish here first because I still have one more to tell you about.
This woman goes by 
Hive account@artemisnorth and she does a bunch of things on here but the one thing I do find quite interesting is her curation of artist who make stuff out of fibrous materials. The curation project she does under the name 
Hive account@fiberartists and so I am kind of conflicted on what name to sponsor her under. She is big on helping others and she also does the Shoutout Saturdays thing and if she happens to miss a Saturday I know she sends $2 SBD to a charity for each time she misses. So just on that alone, her willingness to help others, she gets my attention; and this token of appreciation for what she does around here.
Please check the links at the very bottom of this post for the latest from the people I have mentioned.
Well, that about wraps up this edition of the Saturday Daily Dose and Steem Basic Income Sponsorship for June 16th in the year of 2018. I will be back here next Saturday doing it all again, but you can join me any day of the week; it doesn’t just have to be a Saturday since I do the Daily Dose, uh daily.
Until next time,
Hive account@sultnpapper
