The only reason I entered and invested in steem was because of all Crypto I tough STEEM was the one with the most potential for easy adoption given its mixture of social network and crypto wallet with an internal market and a debt instrument floated to the USD.
I saw then and I still see the opportunity to make a difference and replace scarce FIAT money in places like Venezuela.
This is not charity, if we manage to assure business owners that our currency is easier to use, cheaper to transfer and holds more value than local FIAT the price of our beloved STEEM will soar.
In Venezuela there is a lot of money flow in secondary and black markets, and STEEM has a big potential that we as investors are missing out.
Mass adoption by a whole country will make STEEM great again.
Yet even after 2 years of putting my little stake to drive a pilot project we failed to raise interest of STEEM stake holders and as you see other crypto currencies are being promoted and developed there.
I want to address 
Get rid of the free money for writing approach and work towards internal promotion in the country, forget about curating posts, DASH is taking off there as an alternative to scarce FIAT, local store (walmart like) Traki is already accepting it.
We are being left behind, when we could be with building a strong currency with real life use outside vote selling and exchange scalping.
We just need some support so we can reward user efforts to Proof of brain and proof of effort of users to develop STEEM acceptance with the local business.
You can ask 
I think they can attest there is a core group of honest Venezuelans that believe in steem both as a solid platform and a life changer future building currency.
Lets stop missing out,
Cordially yours,

What can make the difference ? Investment and trust.
Lease us a delegation, we don't want anything for free, me and my team don't feel entitled to anything, we just need an affordable way to promote steem locally, to encourage merchants to adopt it.
Want the curation rewards back, not a problem, just we cannot afford to lease at current prices because we will not be selling the votes, we will use them to reward people working in the streets, in the stores showing the power of steem fast transactions.
We will use to reward merchants who adopt steem as a means of payment as a form of interest, we will try to fully develop the financial power of STEEM while blogging about it.
We estimate that we can afford to lease 40K SP that would not be enough for full speed development. But sadly right now I am the only one financing the project and i am willing use my FIAT bought steem to pay for the lease.
We need more, yes 500K to 1MM will speed things up, but we are realistic, we dont expect charity and that is what we can pay.
Please, Invest in people actually trying to build strong solutions on this blockchain.
