The other day I had the pleasure of having a little chat with a friend from Venezuela, who I have been in touch with for quite some time already. |
---|
INTRODUCTION
He has been updating me often and lately he admited that the situation in Venezuela is becoming too dangerous to continue having a "normal" life any more.
I soon also found out that his family is preparing to migrate abroad in search of a better place . |
---|
And he may not see his own wife and daughter for a very long time to come. It did break my heart. Partly because I'm about to be separated from my own beloved partner for the next 3 months or so. So I can relate to his pain and sadness
I hate that feeling and I would like to bury it. Even if just for a moment. So I came up with an idea ...
TONIGHT LET'S CELEBRATE
Tonight some of us will celebrate Valentine's day. For many it will be a special day with someone they love. And I would like that friend of mine to spend those moments with his wife, having a "normal" day in what seems to be days of ongoing chaos in Venezuela. Maybe going to the cinema, watching some movie and enjoying some popcorn. Doesn't it sound simple, but yet so unreachable for many?
I would like to make that possible for him and his wife and I hope you can be part of this journey and you will join our little "Valentine's Day Quest". And please do not worry. It will cost you nothing :) Just read next "chapter" and have fun being part of this little initiative.
VALENTINE'S Day QUEST
Valentine's Day Quest | I came up with a small idea which I would like to call "Valentine's Day Quest". All I need you to do is to find at least 5 girls/women here on Steemit, who you've been engaging with and found them interesting and supportive. |
---|
Once you do that then visit theirs accounts and wish them happy Valentines. You can also try to actually read their latest post and drop some valuable comment.
Whenever you complete that task, then just drop a comment below my post saying: Valentine's Day Quest completed
.
IMPORTANT:
If more than 20 people will complete this quest, then I will allocate 60 STEEM from my own resources to cover cost of cinema tickets + popcorn for two of my amazing Venezuelian friends:
Im fully aware that they both couldn't afford to take their wifes for a movie in many years already. So let's make it happen!
How does it sound? I hope it can be fun.
MY OWN SUGGESTIONS
Some of you may not really know anyone on Steemit to wish "happy valentines day". After all there isn't many of women on this platform. |
---|
In that case please allow me to suggest few accounts absolutely worth checking out. All of them are being managed by wonderful and supportive users and I'm pretty sure that each one of them will be grateful to receive your kind wishes:
RESTEEM IF YOU CAN
I would appreciate if you could consider resteeming this post, which would definetly help me reach out to wider audience.
Enjoy your Valentines days everyone
Yours, Piotr
Thanks for the mention and I DID IT!
I hit
with all my love! Mission accomplished! Feel free to check them out, too! Whoever reads this.
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY to you, too, @crypto.piotr. I hope you're doing fine while enjoying those precious moments with your love! <3
I love you May 💘

WE LOVE! Each other, life, the planet, STEEM, everybody …
YAY!
Yes, it would be great if everyone could have (in their own perception) a normal Valentine's day.
From the poor to the rich, one might find him/herself in a lonely place on such a special day of love.
A long time single guy like myself doesn't exactly become thrilled when they know they will be alone the entire day, but if I can spread some love here, I will be happy, because it's all about perception.
I love the Steem women, their all so friendly and beautiful.
I'm swamped pretty heavily with my online commitments, but if I am able, I will give my best go at completing this task. I think it's really great bro, you're an altruistic man with a good heart.
Happy Valentine's Day to you, and your beautiful family.
Sincerely,
@futuremind
EDIT: Valentine's Day Quest completed
And I'm only just getting started. I didn't see any rules that say I can't keep spreading love after finishing @crypto.piotr's quest. 😊
Ohh.What a nice interesting contest it was. Although it is now past Valentine's day.But maybe I will participate in next one.

Hi @crypto.piotr
Friend, first I must thank for that honor that I have of being in a small circle of friends.
Thanks for your support.
Change I want to say that today I wish you and your wife, have a beautiful day of celebration for that beautiful love you have for your wife and vice versa.
I hope you are very happy and build a good home
Your balance is below $0.3. Your account is running low and should be replenished. You have roughly 10 more @dustsweeper votes. Check out the Dustsweeper FAQ here: https://steemit.com/dustsweeper/@dustsweeper/dustsweeper-faq
Thank you so much @crypto.piotr. I really appreciate this shout out and the sentiment on this Valentine's Day.
Women are represented well on Steem, but not so much in the wider crypto community. Gestures like this help break down walls and I am so grateful to you :)
Resteemed and tweeting, and I will complete this quest easily :)
Dear @fitinfun
This is going to be little bit off-topic comment. Hope you don't mind.
I'm not sure if I already informed you about my plans towards current delegations? As you may know I will be heading to europe soon and I realized that I may be quite busy catching up with Polish family once I see them again.
So I figured that I will extend all delegations for another 1 month (until end of march 2019). Just wanted to let you know :)
Hope you will continue being active and supportive towards our little steemit community we managed to create together.
Yours
Piotr
Dear @fitinfun
I was wondering if you had a chance to read my previous comment from me (the one related to extending my delegation to you and others)?

HiHi how are you? luck to all who participate in your challenge, I do not celebrate Valentine's Day because I have no partner many years ago, but I wish that those who have it, remember that every day they should love their partner not only one day a year , every day feel admiration, respect and understanding for that person who decided to share life with you.
Greetings from Venezuela, a hug to all!
Beautiful thoughts you still treasure @jennimorillo! May you have a lovely and happy Valentine's day - wherever on this lovely planet you may be!
Thank you for your words, I wish a happy day for you anywhere in the world you are, always positive mind before everything, and we will always be excellent
Yip. Life can be pretty hard at times, but as I once heard, around every dark cloud there is a glimmer of hope! ! And thank you for your kind wish too.
blessing everyone Valentine's Day happy
Wish everyone happy Valentine's Day
This is an interesting challenge
Bless you happy - happy

ps.
I NEED YOUR HELP :) Nothing serious really. But I still hope you can spare few minutes of your time :)
I found out about great contest where winning community can receive a year's delegation worth of 20k SP!
I realized that receiving such a delegation could help greatly to grow our community. After all I'm upvoting each valuable comment. On top of that, I'm doing my best to promote quality content published by other authors and again: I like to reward those who engage with those authors.
I know that it's probably a long shot and most likely our community won't stand a chance in this contest. But I love being the underdog! Let's give them a fair fight :)
Which brings me to my next question, I was wondering if I could count on your support? At this stage I would only need to ask you to comment this post and suggest myself for the contest. Perhaps you could also make another suggestion: @ help.venezuela (this is run by my dear friend @ achim03).
https://steemit.com/dpoll/@theycallmedan/20k-steem-delegation-poll
This is just a first round attempt. I hope we can make it to second round hahha :) Naturally I would appreciate if you could ask your friends to help with our little "quest" :)
Let me know what you think? Perhaps you can also share some advises and hopefully we can "do little bit of brainstorming". Would be awesome to win :)
Yours
Piotr
Seriously I dont understand the whole thing? 20k SP? Contest? Maybe I would have to take a look at the it before would know what to say.

Unfortunately I don't know many girls in steemit and those I know are already in the list given by @crypto.piotr
It may be my bad but there is another reason also that as compared to men girls are less in number in steem platform. Since this platform is decentralised so I wish many girls to come forward and be a part of it and those are already part of steem, I convey my regards to them and wish them a lovely day with their loved ones.
Thanks @crypto.piotr for this nice post and initiative too.

well actually @alokkumar121 ... compared to boys... you might be surprised how many women are on the platform. Many names assumed to be boys are actually women. I get mistaken for a boy often.
Thank you for the Valentine greetings

Greetings, @crypto.pior brother, I have not written any more in your blog, since my country VENEZUELA, has a continuous and systematic attack on our economy by the USA, WHICH THE OWNERS OF THE WORLD BELIEVE, want to invade my country with the excuse of " humanitarian aid "if you do a little research on my country, apart from oil, we are the world's largest reserve of water, an endless supply of valuable minerals, including coltan, which is used for telecommunications technology, therefore with the ECONOMIC BLOCKING that the trump government has, has made life more difficult for us, wants to repeat its war here as it did in IRAQ, LIBYA, SYRIA, and Afghanistan, today totally destroyed countries. see in that mirror the other countries. I say goodbye and that the truth comes out to the world, about an imminent invasion on the part of the US over Venezuela, to STEAL OUR RICHES.
spanish/ español
saludos, hermano @crypto.pior, no he escrito mas en tu blog, ya que mi pais VENEZUELA, tiene un continuo y sistematico ataque a nuestra economia por parte de los EEUU, QUE SE CREEN LOS DUEÑOS DEL MUNDO,quieren invadir mi pais con la excusa de "ayuda humanitaria" si investigas un poco sobre mi pais, aparte del petroleo, somos la reserva mas grande del mundo de agua, un sin fin de minerales muy valiosos entre ellos el coltan que se usa para la tecnologia de la telecomunicaciones, por consiguiente con el BLOQUEO ECONOMICO que nos tiene el gobierno de trump, nos ha hecho la vida mas dificil, quiere repetir su guerra aqui como lo hizo en IRAK,LIBIA,SIRIA,y afganistan, hoy paises totalmente destruidos. veanse en ese espejo los otros paises. me despido y que salga la verdad al mundo, sobre una inminente invasion de parte de EEUU sobre venezuela, para ROBAR NUESTRAS RIQUEZAS.

I wonder why, I as a woman, should wish Happy Valentines day to an other woman (btw it is Wednesday Februar 13 overhere)... men do not count? (This besides of the fact we do not celebrate Valentines Day, not a habit, no money).
I visited at least 8, who knows some more tomorrow if I have connection and still have power enough.
Hello @wakeupkitty.
Some words a little daring:
In the short time I've been getting to know you (reviewing your blog) I've been able to notice that you do not dare to say things. You are very sensible at the moment of your opinion. I like your poetry a lot, although I notice a lot of darkness in it.
I have learned since childhood that the day of "love and friendship" is celebrated on this day.
It does not necessarily have to be the carnal love of a man towards a woman or vice versa. For that reason I wish you happy Valentine's Day dear and dear friend.
I hope my words have drawn a smile on your face.
I hug you in the distance. Juan.
I was also part of the soul when I receive news like these. Venezuelan must leave no forced labor of this country, much less to leave his family. This situation is hard. Success friends, will find women with valuable content on this platform. Thanks @crypto.piotr by the initiative. Happy Valetin for you too!
Valentine's Day Quest completed
Even the most caring and loving partner cannot take the place of a good friend. Thanks for filling the gap in my life.
Happy Valentine's Day Piotr 💖
I am still at the beginning. Please help me to become a better participant and make more money
Hey !! yes!! lets do it!!
Wow! This is a great gesture. Happy Valentine's day to you and your love one!

happy valentinesday friend. i am alone and sad
I appreciate this gesture to give the real gift of valentine's day by contributing these @fitinfun @nurseanne84 @jenina619
@mllg @mayb @whatsontrend
@wakeupkitty @shadowspub @indigoocean
nine hardworking steemains account on this platform.I too like to contribute on their post.
I have already aware about @fitinfun who is passing through some odd situations.
Although I am not much favour in celebrating valentine day because youth generation has changed the method to celebrate it.they forget to real message of valentine's day celebration.. infact this day is to spread love and happiness among our bestwisher. If a smile comes on someone's face because of our efforts and help , then it will probably be the biggest gift of Valentine's Day
Thank you dear friend @crypto.piotr
thank you @certain and @crypto.piotr for your kind gesture. Valentines isn't something that I tend to observe but your intent was good.
Thank you so much @certain. I am so glad to be connected to you and already most of the others you mention. But I will go see the couple I am not familiar with.
This is what it is all about on steem. The best we can do is connect and help each other. What a lovely surprise to wake up to today.
I think this is the way to make a strong community by helping each other and needy people.Neither did we bring anything on earth nor take anything with us, Only our good deeds and our good conduct will be left here.
Thank you @fitinfun
