When I launched my Christmas Photo Contest, I didn't realize what would happen next.
What I saw was an incredible display of the human condition all around the world. Wonderful people celebrating the joy of Christmas. From Kiev to Peru with quite a bit of Nigeria!
Then, as I was upvoting the comment section with my 5% "Christmas Upvote" that is worth $3.50 SBD (when cashed out and turned into STEEM is actually worth about $10 US), it hit me and made me wonder:
What Difference Does it Make?
You see, in Canada, an extra $10 a day doesn't make a massive difference. I may allow for a nice meal with my wife every week at a fancy restaurant or maybe it would pay for a life insurance policy in case something bad happens to me.
But my comment section is filled with people who live in countries where to value of $10 US could means something completely different. Maybe it pays for all of your kids to go to a better school, maybe it allows you to get a better water system to irrigate your farm? Who knows!
This is your assignment for today!
Let's say I were to upvote your comment 5 times a week at a value of $10US for a total of $50 USD a week...What difference does it make in your life? What would you do with that money to make your life and your environment better?
Don't spare any details. I can't wait to upvote the best comments!
PS: I will start flagging comments that looks like bots, that are too short (ie: nice articles! or <3) and those that makes no sense at all. Sorry for those who may be offended but it's time to clean up.
