Hey guys! This is @cryptoeater on my shiny new account! This account will be used purely for the benefit of others. Any funds sent to this account will be used purely for altruistic reasons. Any SP delegated will be used to help those who are in need of help!
Our Current Goal
Our first mission is to help those in Venezuela who have been heavily adversely affected by the economic disaster that's been happening there. Hyperinflation has made their money pretty much worthless, and now many are surviving on a few US dollars a month due to the situation. Many people are living in poverty, with little to no hope of recovery any time soon, so this is where we come in!
Helping Those Who Can Help Others
Not everyone in Venezuela can afford smartphones or laptops to access Steemit, which means we can't actually directly help those who are the most in need of help. So, I call upon any Venezuelans who live near areas struggling with poverty to come up and act as a distributor of funds. I so far have one friend I met on Steemit, @reinaldoverdu who is helping me a lot with this, as I've helped him a lot through upvotes and a couple donations of 1 Steem.
If anyone else is in a situation similar to @reinaldoverdu, please leave a reply and we can see if we can start some sort of partnership :)
To any Venezuelans out there who needs a helping hand, also leave a comment and after I review your account, I'll add you to my list of potential Venezuelans who can benefit from the funds we raise.
First Initiative
Our first initiative is a giveaway of 50 Steem Monsters packs! You can read more about it here. Out of the 50 packs, 25 will be given away for two contests, while the other 25 will be given away in a raffle.
Each raffle ticket costs 0.1 Steem or 0.14SBD. Send that amount to @crypto.charity with the memo of how many tickets you wish to buy! Users may buy as many tickets as they wish, and it doesn't have to be in the same transactions. For more details, check out the post in the link above, or check out @crypto.charity's wallet for some examples.
The Future
As of now, we want to try our best to focus on this issue, but in the future we plan on launching many new initiatives, hopefully including some that will benefit some Australians (where I live). We may also be looking for some SP delegations in the future as we set up our auto votes, so keep an eye out for that if you're interested in helping :)
We will deliver updates every few days regarding what's going on, what plans we have and what's been done since the last update. Feel free to chuck us a follow as we explore new ways to help others!

How does Steemit actually work?
Oh yea, I have upvoted you and followed you. Many blessings!
as venezuelan thx for this! i think is a awesome idea!
Perhaps this account can be used to pay to set up steemit accounts for people? It’s hard to get an account without a phone number but anyone with a tablet, iPod, or old phone can run an account if it’s already set up for them.
Good idea @metzli!
You beat me to it, i was thinking of doing something for Venezuelans too. I was only thinking of one post though. One idea I had was to send steem to a user from Venezuela, then have that person send the same steem in to @SteemitBasicIncome to sponsor another Venezuelan. That way both users get a share of SBI for all their future posts. Thanks for starting this important effort.
Thanks for your comment, friend @giddyunpmgo. And thanks for your initial support. I already started distributing SBI shares among friends of Venezuela. Best regards
Excellent, thanks for doing that @felixgarciap :-)
I am so happy that you are here, crypto.charity! Best wishes for a great journey here on this platform :) Have Fun

Visito un barrio peligroso, de altisima criminalidad, drogas y miseria. Apoyame en este reportaje donde arriesgue mi vida internándome en lo mas profundo del barrio mas peligroso de latinoamerica.
Check that my friend. Is the post you requested. Finally i can upload the video. I has many troubles uploading to youtube, my ISP was a total mess, but at the end, this my work as you requested. Hope you enjoy it. Sorry for the poor english, i try my best.
Hi @crypto.charity . I will give 20 shares of Steemit Basic Income to both @reinaldoverdu and @thaishps.(two Venezuelans) I was just wondering if you would like to create a fundraiser post to buy more shares for them. Maybe all the proceeds from the upvotes could go to buying more sbi shares. I feel that SBI shares are the best way to give them an ongoing boost. As people comment they could be asked to tag in more users to get more upvotes. If you are not interested I may do the post on my own. Let me know either way.
Thank you @giddyupngo for your vote of confidence. I can not help financially, because really my only means of support today is what I can do at Steemit and I have many outstanding slopes. However, I have tried to return the support I have received from good people like you.
I have been inviting the friends of my children to join the platform, young boys, some already professionals but who find it difficult to find a job, due to the country situation we have.
Every time I have the opportunity, I campaign among my acquaintances and relatives. Steemit has helped me alleviate a little the anguish of not having how to fill the pantry and I want every Venezuelan to know that we have a window available to support us. Some are so discouraged that they do not think Steemit is possible.
Sometimes, three children under the age of 10 knock on my door. They live in a neighborhood just behind where I live. It breaks my heart when I can not give them more than a packet of rice. The proposal of @cryptoeater seems to me incredibly beautiful and I would love to participate.
I also thought about the issue of medicines, my dad, for example, needs anticonvulsants and not only is it difficult to get them, they are also very expensive. Just like my dad, there are many people who do not have access to an aspirin. This is how terrible the situation is here. Help with that topic will be very important.
I think I can create a team in my city.
My English is very basic, so I used Google. I did not understand much about the giveaway of 50 Steem Monsters packs, but I can help with the purchase of a ticket.
Thanks again for your support.
You have a good heart @Thaishps, we should be the ones helping you, no one expects you to buy a raffle ticket or anything that will cost you anything. Take care.
If you check my blog you will see in the video what I have to live every day, it is a difficult situation.
I live in an environment full of poverty, crime and drugs. At a general level, the country is in a deep critical crisis. and all the help they offer is important, you are the ones who can make a change in the lives of us and of all Venezuelans. 1 steem that donate currently means food for 1 day of a Venezuelan citizen friend, I give you this example as a reference. a lunch is worth 0.5 steem and a dinner 0.5 approximately. thank you for the initiative of the sbi the truth I will be happy to receive your support.
Thanks for everything from Venezuela, we shall never forget those who help in times of need.
Excellent initiative, thanks for sharing.
hi @cryptoeater
Great initiative. I will do my best to support your idea.
big fat upvote on the way :)

Good, I write from my friend @ reinaldoverdu, who recommended that the situation that we are living, as is known throughout the world Venezuela is living a humanitarian crisis because of the bad practices of its rulers, the most affected are children and older adults, in my town there is an asylum, which has always counted on the help of the community, in previous times I was director of a radio station, and every year we picked up all kinds of equipment, especially medicine and food, then As a result of my husband's death, I retire from that station, and also because of the crisis it is very difficult to get food, these grandparents are dying of hunger, without diapers, despite the fact that the director is a luddist nun who does the impossible looking for food, and now the need is getting worse, because his vehicle was stolen, which was very helpful in obtaining donations.
By this means I got a little help, but I would like to broaden the search for supplies for them and for the most destitute of the area, I made a post of thanks for the lady @cristinamoronta where I explain in a rough way the existing situation in my community . I would like to receive your response and at the same time if I can collaborate with the cause I am ordering @ crypto.charity
thanks a lot for your help and support on the direst time of our nation, we shall not forget those to be grateful with.
Hello, I would like to participate in these donations, I do not know if my situation qualifies for a donation.
My situation is that I hurt the "MODEN" Internet connection and to post and comment, something I do almost daily, I have to use the kindness of friends and acquaintances and sometimes a Cyber Cafe.
I have been with this problem for almost two months and seeing that my income does not allow it, even including what I earn in Steemit, I have made the decision to write to you, I am Venezuelan and here the prices change constantly, the last time I found out the price of the "Modem" approximately 25 days ago the cost was in the equivalent of 15 or 20 Steem. Maybe in other countries it is not much, but here is the equivalent of one year's basic salary. I estimate that with Steem's increase in value, between 10 and 12 steem will suffice.
You asked me the other time to write an article about the situation in Venezuela, but if you visit my blog you will see that my articles are about self-improvement and the truth is that I do not want to focus on the reality that we currently live, but rather on the possibility of overcome it.
At the beginning I wrote several post about politics and I do not want to focus on that situation again.
Today we Venezuelans are walking on a pigsty, I hope I do not have to muddy before leaving it.
Whatever your decision, Thank you.
