The post indicates the registered Steemians availing the shirt :). I understand there are a lot of ways, but its the way we feel for the community to be better.
Just like yours, the way you spent for your Steemit convention. When in fact, you can do online orientations.
@jassennessaj, there is a difference. The Steemit convention is coming out of my own pocket. Not even from funds generated from Steemit. Im also not soliciting funds from the community, or asking for any help.
@purepinay is just trying to help you all succeed, by maintaining a conservative balance on the steemph wallet.
You may think this is the most effective way to grow, and I hope we can sit down together before or during the conference to talk about some ideas I have.

Thanks Rob for dropping by. Btw, we see no problem posting these kind of things to fund the shirts. Besides, we don't have that money as you have and as what we always think : We wanted a steemit initiativr also be funded by Steemit. There are posts intended for our earnings, and there are also posts intended to be poured to the community.
If time allows. We'll do our best on your steemit convention.
@jassennessaj,
If you can believe I was not born into money. I worked hard, and retired when I was 25; Because I differentiated between wants/needs. I never sell advice, and give time to anyone that would like to be in this same position.
I want nothing more than to see all Filipino Steemians to get wealthy from this platform. However, by creating T-shirts for a specific group, seems counterintuitive to wealth generation.
Spending money as soon as it comes in, places your group in stagnation and you will sit idle while many other communities that come after you, pass you by.
For instance, if this posts makes 50 SBD and you spend it today, it's worth roughly $50.
By powering up, you would be able to compound this amount, and multiply it's worth by 2-3x in time.
This is the biggest issue I would like to discuss at the convention.
I am a friend, and hope this post doesn't offend you. I am just blunt with my words, as is @purepinay.

@rcarter.witness you forgot to mention, because of this event, I have to do all the cleaning and laundry and the fridge is empty btw! How sweet! LOL I wonder why I'm so skinny! =p (I am not trying to give a guilt trip, I just wish we don't have to spend 'a such' amount for this event!) I cannot even sleep anymore!
@jassennessaj:
Everything is going to be great not just okay. I don't mind eating some sweet potatoes and grass everyday, am used to eat anyways. LOL
I'll see you guys soon. Just sorting out some stuff for the convention. TC always!
and look I made myself a new steemy logo, LOL
@rcarter.witness I totally understand your point but I think you're missing a point that supports your idea man.
You want us to power up as a future stake and instead spending on those community shirts - converting them to SP will be a big thing. Okay you have a point.
Why are you funding the convention using your own pocket when you can power that up and curate on posts?
@jassennessaj:
What do you mean "missing a point that supports your idea man." My apology but I am confused by your sentence.
YES, @jassennessaj it is a huge thing. Why instead of spending the money on t-shirts why don't we save up the money for next big events. (I am not talking about this coming event). Do you know why Steem coin is low? Am sure you check market every day.
"Why are you funding the convention using your own pocket when you can power that up and curate on posts?"
Because he is being so naive trying to help out the Steemit community. I don't even remember the exact word to describe that character. He doesn't mind getting broke just to help out other people and this upsets me. (so much!) If you only know what we are sacrificing to make this event successful. Not to mention I am organizing this alone but I don't mind because I know in the event all of us will benefit from this.
I don't even need to justify how stressful I am! (and it's my fault for being reluctant to delegate because of I am strict when it comes to quality of work. I can't even make myself proud with all my achievements!) I am doing all my best to help myself and the whole community, I know we all are.
No, Gil. You're both doing great. We were able to see your visions. Conversations like this make us better. I learned from you and vice versa. Whats important about these exchange of words is that were growing.
You guys have our full support. Community engagements like this should never be an issue. You're a great steemit advocate @purepinay and we know that.
Please dont be offended on the exchange of thoughts here if you were.
Hmm. About this thought :
The thought of it was the same for me, Gil. We were spending because we see a better output. Not to mention, when we have those shirts and take a picture together wearing those Steemit-Engineeeing shirt. Hope you guys could see how many people will get attracted by that kind of event, by the kind of community we have.
