What is the Deadpost Intitiative?
The Deadpost Initiative is an attempt to give love to some posts that were overlookeed during their short 7 day life span, a chance to bring your old posts back to life and maybe make some friends in the process. The goal is not only to share some love with SBD but also by engagement to generate discussion.
Last week
Participation seems to go up and down, while last week was a pretty active one, this week was less so, especially as far as comments and interaction go. Still we had some nice posts as always.
I'm terribly sorry that during the week of super high SBD prices, I am being cheap and giving the winners STEEM instead of SBD. This is more about the fact that I am out of SBD and won't have enough to compensate the winners until mid-week. I had 3 SBD left and just traded it for 30 USD of dash to reward myself for being awesome. Look on the bright side, STEEM will be worth much more in the long run. Probably in the very near future.
And to all you past winners who won 3-5 SBD, I want you to exchange it into some crypto or even Steem right now since its worth 30-50....then when crypto really goes mainstream and it increases one hundred fold and you are a mighty big whale, you can tell everyone how awesome The Deadpost Initiative is ;-)
Anyway...!
Last Week's Winners
@vincentnijman - $2.5 STEEM prize
Vincent's story is one that I think many of us can relate to, not finishing what we start. Vincent argues that this is sometimes for the best and shares his own story making a movie. Vincent is one of my new favorite steemians and I welcome you to check out his posts!
"When are you ever going to finish something?" The Power of Quitting
@pathforger - $2.5 STEEM prize
@pathforger is a regular here at the deadpost initiative. All his submissions have been high quality and I'm glad to have him back this week with a post about purpose. I love the bit about the monk in the middle of the article. I don't think it only applies to someone who wants to be a monk though, it applies to everyone. Work on the inside and you'll find the outside changes with you!
The Power of Purpose
@melinda010100 - $2.5 STEEM prize
Melinda provided us with a nice photo blog. Apparently Swiss culture is thriving in Wisconsin, I had no idea. It's always nice to know that traditional culture is being practiced in fun ways, even when it moves to new places.
New Glarus, Wisconsin
@raj808 - $2.5 STEEM prize
@raj808 shows us beautiful pictures and tells his experience diving in Egypt. This is topic I didn't imagine I'd enjoy reading about very much but raj does a wonderful job of sharing the experrience and I find the passion is contageous. Great article!
