Hello friends today I will tell you my story of how I got to Steemit, to which I have dedicated myself within this social network, above all that I expect from this blockchain community and that I can contribute in the future.
To start I am from Venezuela, specifically from Anzoategui state, Barcelona, my name is Jesus Martinez, my dedication to be a driver mobilized people from one state to another in Venezuela, the situation of the country has led me to lose conditions my vehicle has such a point of being unusable, this led me to look for new options to survive the economic meltdown of my country, look for many sites on the internet until one day they told me about Steemit. Actually do not pay much attention to the person who recommended me at that time because he had no idea of a cryptocurrency and much less how he could receive profits from these pages.
In May a cousin of my wife told me about her experiences in Steemit and about her earnings on the page. I can not deny the curiosity and the ancestors of receiving profits, solving economic problems I focus to register. The wait was somewhat frustrating, two weeks waiting for the mail where they accepted my application, every day I entered my mail waiting for an answer, while looking for more ways in my country how to survive, it is difficult with a family that waits for me. In Venezuela, to work for a minimum wage is to waste time is to go hungry because it does not reach at all.
My start was difficult without saying it was stressful, looking for things to publish. My publications have been mostly politics of Venezuela, errors of the Government of Maduro, using this medium to express everything that happens in my country because by many angles what reaches the other countries are only what the dictatorship of Maduro wants let it be known, many people imprisoned for telling the truths of this narco-state, many people who have disappeared because they were against the Socialist Revolution.
Sometimes I think if what I do will not bring me repercussions, problems, persecutions, there are many things to think about but it is more the courage to get out of this problem than the fear of losing everything in the hands of these thieves.
The press in Venezuela can not do anything or publish things that are contrary to the government, because the first thing they will see the next day is Maduro saying that he is going to close said communication schedule or channel that is dedicating himself to saying real aggressions about them . Announcements about how you are going to go to prison is normal when something does not please government officials.
Sooner or later the Government will find out about the stocks of people who attacked them by Steemit and will come for us, and we will say to all of us who still live in Venezuela and dedicate ourselves to make publications referring to everything that actually happens in the country. .
What I expect from Steemit is that we are the best Blockchain community that exists, that we are pioneers in everything that is at the forefront, that we collaborate with a better world, with the economic stability of the world's populations, that we collaborate to bring out the thousands of people who live in the street and above all to help them not to go hungry anymore, in my country every day they die of hunger for politicians like these, we create conscience we take the values to the whole world and we see how we will be better every day. Hope that all our efforts in this community will be heard and taken into account.
What can I contribute, I'm not an Information Engineer or systems, but I hope to encourage many people to be part of our social network, find ways to disseminate our functions, and above all put my grain of sand to make Steem the best cryptocurrency to trust and to invest, to collaborate with the new people that enter, I do not believe myself better than anyone, I believe in my humility and what I can collaborate with. There are many ways to contribute, I hope everyone does it.
