245th Steem Torch Carrier

avatar
(Edited)

I've heard of The Steem Torch that was started by @geekgirl 9 months ago when she sent off 25 Steem to start it on it's way! And occasionally I have seen it get passed to people I follow. Now it's my turn to hold it briefly and pass it along!

I was quite thrilled that the amazing @Traciyork chose to send me the massive amount of Steem that goes along with the Torch. Traci generously added 10 Steem to the pot so that I received 942 Steem!

And now I am beyond honored to be the 245th Steem Torch Holder! You can track many of the previous Steem Torch holders at @steemtorch.

Now it's my turn to pass the torch along! I am adding 8 Steem to the pot to make the total 950 Steem.

And now the torch goes to...

@Barbara-Orenya

I have chosen my dear and trusted artist friend @barbara-orenya to send the torch to. Barbara lives in one of my favorite places on earth, in Annecy, France and we have been friends since we first met each other on the now defunct Tsu platform, and learned our way around Steem together when we joined within days of each other in May 2017.

You can read more about the torch and it's purpose at the links I shared. It is basically a social experiment. Sending the torch to honest and honorable people that we trust is an important piece! Besides, if someone stole the $125 worth of Steem, any good standing they had on the platform would be pretty well shot, don't you think? 🤔😜

I wonder what the point of it is too. It sounds like a chainletter with nothing to win. Or will the steem be burned in the end and this will rise the value of steem? 💕

You can read about the intention of the torch at the links I shared in the post.

It's not all about winning sometimes. If one must, one could keep the Steem, that would be a win, but the integrity lost would be far greater unless one decides to leave steemit and doesn't care at all.

@livinguktaiwan That I understand but I do not understand the positive aspect of it. Will the money be used for a good goal like @hope.venezuela for example or?

The rules says "Funds can be donated to Steem based charities, distributed to minnows, or burnt. Torch keeper must not keep the funds."

This will happen when it reaches the last person who will make the decision. So to answer your question, yes there is a possibility that it will go to @hope.venezuela if it qualfies as a Steem based charity and the last torch bearer chooses to do so.

Barbara just told me about it. I had no idea about it before. Amazing it's been going around so long!

I think it ends up being passed around in communities that we do not necessarily belong to, so it drops from view for a while. Very glad you are talking about it with Barbara!

Ha! The only thing I felt threatened by was having all that Steem in my wallet! That is a heavy load of liquid Steem!

Nice post @melinda010100. Sadly, the "plague" of this one Steemian continues to spread ...

... who claims to be on a "crusade" against SBI, but downvotes out of proportion to that being his only concern ...

He is pathetic and I hope he finds a different online Community to spread his negativity to soon.

so, you was on Tsu, too?! and Barbara was there, too... it seems I missed something in this life. for example, the said Tsu location... looks like a lot of my weku/steemian friends started from there.

I made some wonderful friends on Tsu, They did take my entire years worth of earnings ($80) when they vanished over night! You missed out on that! 😓😁
