This is not my first time of being fascinated by Steemit. And this is not my first time either of saying that I do love Steemit! Nope! This is not a compliment or persuation to get the upvotes from the whales, nor the way to get the attention from the higher level of steemians. But, this feeling, this admiration, this amazement, comes up suddenly from the bottom of my heart after a chat with a friend of mine whom also a steemians.
It was an early morning, when she knocked "the door of my heart" (texted me on whatsapp). She told me about her boy whose has to be hospitalised, and need some more money to buy the medicines which were not covered by the BPJS (Indonesian Government Health Insurance).
She also told me that she and her husband just delivered a big amount of money for financing (paid for enrolment of their children school, uniforms, books and other stationeries). That's why they have no more enough money for this unpredictable need.
This is also the reason she texted me that time, to ask if I could lend her some Steems or SBDs I had in my wallet, to cover the rest of the need. She told me honestly that she also text some other steemians friends for the same purpose.
And you know what, dears?
I got touched! Nope, not by her, but by Steemit! I have never thought that the rewards I got from contribution here, in Steemit, could give a positive impact! I meant, I have never thought that helping a friend (in this situation) is just a simple click! Just go to my wallet, and transfer some amount of Steems or SBDs to her wallet. Yeah! Just that simple though?
It won't decrease the balance in my bank account at all. Oh my God! It's amazing! Don't you think so? It's so wonderful! Steemit is unique, Steemit is very helpful and awesome! I love Steemit more and more. Writing is a self healing, and writing here resulting rewards, which is I also can use for charity/support others.
I believe that you have some similar experience as well, come on, share us in the column of comment below, please!
Ini bukan pertama kalinya aku mengatakan bahwa aku suka banget sama steemit! Bukan memuji agar banyak paus yang datang ngasih upvote, bukan pula untuk menjilat es krim para petinggi di steemit, yang aku sendiri pun tak tau siapa mereka. Tapi ungkapan ini, muncul lagi pagi ini, karena memang spontan menguap dari dasar sanubari.
Gimana enggak, coba, sobs! Kisah yang ingin kubagi ini, sungguh tragis! Seorang teman, sesama steemians, suatu pagi mengetuk pintu hati (japri via whatsapp), dan mengutarakan jika dirinya butuh bantuan, setelah tentu saja bercerita tentang musibah yang sedang dihadapi olehnya dan keluarga. Bahwa salah satu anaknya masuk rumah sakit, sementara dana mereka baru saja meluncur ke pos biaya masuk sekolah, belanja keperluan anak sekolah dan semacamnya. Eh, malah biaya tak terduga mau tak mau harus diadakan untuk hal yang tak mungkin dielak. Biaya menebus beberapa obat yang tak dikaver oleh BPJS, selama sang anak sedang dirawat di rumah sakit.
Intinya, sahabatku ini ingin meminjam sejumlah Steem atau SBD, sebagai penutup kekurangan dari biaya yang mereka miliki. Ada sih sejumlah Steem miliknya sendiri, namun masih kurang, maka mencoba pinjam ke aku dan beberapa teman lainnya.
And you know what, dears?
Di sini aku terperangah! Tercenung dan takjub! Tak pernah terbersit di hatiku, jika dari berkontribusi di Steemit ini, dari Steem atau SBD yang aku hasilkan ini, mampu untuk mengulur bantuan bagi teman yang membutuhkan. Ah, ku terharu.
Steemit, memudahkan kita untuk saling membantu. Tak perlu merogoh Rupiah dari rekening bank yang kita miliki, tapi dengan mentransfer sejumlah Steem/SBD ini ke alamat akun si teman, kita sudah bisa meringankan bebannya, tinggal dirinya yang menukarnya langsung ke pasar kripto. Ini hanya perkara klik!
Ga berasa loh! Karena tiada dana yang berkurang dari rekening bank kita kan? Ah, ku sungguh terpesona. Kalian? Pasti sering donk merasakan takjub, lega dan bahagia seperti ini? Bagi, donk, di kolom komentar!
Sungguh, aku makin cinta deh sama Steemit! Steemit ini unik, dan helpful banget, ya? I love you full, deh, Steemit!
