And I'm looking forward to this upcoming event.
Update
We were live. You can find the livestream recording with timestamps here: Ask Me Anything /w @MenO - Recording with Timestamps
Prologue
I recently had some great conversations with @meno about Steem and its ecosystem. The focus of these talks was of course, how we could do more for the Steem ecosystem and the community. (Steem is pretty much the top priority for me right now.)
And out of those conversations came the realization that I, @therealwolf, am currently just an avatar, but the actual person behind this name is not really known.
Or how another Steemian formulated it: not really sure if you're a female, male or bot.
I had to chuckle when I read it. Even though the formulation might be a bit exaggerated, the fact is that not much about me is known. (besides my official witness-introduction post)
And as a Witness, who is supposed to be a trustable person, the voters should at least know if there is a man, women or maybe dog behind it.
So @meno and I came to an amazing idea.
What if we did an AMA on Dlive?
You may know something called "AMA" or Asked Me Anything, which is an event-series, originated on reddit, where people are being asked questions from the community, to which honest & personal answers are written.
Now, what reddit can do - Steem can do as well and even better!
So our idea is to gather a list of questions that many Steemians may have and answer them on a livestream.
That sounds very interesting, right? But in order for the event to make even more sense, we discussed ways we could make it a little more fun.
It's no secret that @themarkymark has been focusing on giving back to quality content creators, doing live curations on @dlive. His fantastic initiative, made us come up with a little hybrid idea.
Lets curate questioners
Basically, the idea is to ask fellow Steemians to contribute with questions they may have on a shared document, answer them on air and upvote the user that made said question.
How simple does that sound? You can earn STEEM by asking some good questions for the show!
The upvotes would of course be given to the submitting user's posts or a comment.
Sounds good? Ask a question!
You can ask up to 3 questions inside this google-form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/therealwolf-ask-me-anything
If you're not able to open the form or submit the questions in the form, for whatever reason, then please ask your question(s) via comment
The questions will be selected for value. In other words, only the best questions will be chosen, read on air and answered.
All irrelevant information, distasteful jokes or anything of the sort will be removed from the file and ignored.
What should the questions be about?
That is entirely up to you. We could talk about SMTs, Witnessing, Blockchain, Philosophy, Food or we could simply talk about <enter your favourite subject here>. The idea is for the questions to be engaging and fun.
What's the mission here?
Helping the Steem community - plain and simple.
If I can play a part in the role of explaining some of the difficult elements of the STEEM ecosystem, then that means I'm investing my time wisely. If added to that, I can stop being an avatar and develop a better relationship with my fellow Steemians, then that's the perfect icing on the cake!
I strongly believe the strength of the Steem community is a lot mightier than the bear market we are in and this is a way of putting some words into action - a way I can give back.
With that said: I hope to see a lot of you with amazing questions for me to answer on Wednesday, 8th August '18 at 7PM UTC.
A post will also be published right prior to the event!
Until then,
Wolf

A big and sincere Thank you to all of those who support my efforts!
Great show again, very interesting topics! and great answers :)
Lol,., the show is on the 8th of august 2018...
He is from the future.
lool...
can we ask him about STEEM price in 2019?
I will keep in tune with your show at Dlive on Wednesday.
I didn't get your response pertaining the Content graphics design position from @smartsteem which you advertised last week
Hey, sorry for not responding but we got a lot of requests.
However, we will soon create a competition which you can of course participate.
And would be great if you would tune in on Wednesday!
Great to see witnesses do more to keep this platform aloft. Have submitted my questions already and looking forward to the show
Thank you @focusnow!
Thanks too.
QUESTION:
Why is it that most people go behind a shroud of anonymity. We run a proof of stake blockchain based on trust. We have wittnesses, bot operators, steem developers and steemit inc. but most are behind a shroud of anonymity. How can this be on a blockchain of trust?
I think this livestream is exactly what is needed for the steem blockchain.
When you run a company that isn't open and transparent and has no face, it's not a company... it's just a shady bussiness... so @therealwolf youre my number 1 on the steem blockchain. Great move...
When will Stem's currency rise?
Hey @roselover,

Thank you!
how do i build up like you here on steemit
thanks for your support @therealwolf
Hi @therealwolf, we are a brand new project founded by three steemians. We have decided to start the criptorefugio (cryptorefuge) blog to spread the word about Steem, cryptocurrencies and blockchain on the spanish-speaking community on and outside the Steem community.
We have left you with some questions that we believe are fundamental and add value to the community.
Cheers and thank you for this initiative.
Give some advice for minnows like us. How to get started? Thanks

If you're not able to then comment is fine.
Thank you!
Couldn't put my questions on that google doc that you shared so I will drop them here. Hope you don't mind.
I see that you're almost 1 year old on Steem. What's the best three things that keep you still active on the platform after one year?
If you were able to change anything on Steem what would be the first thing that you'll change and consider that needs to be changed?
When did you laugh with tears the last time and can you tell us what made you laugh that hard?
Cheers.
Thank you @acesontop! Those are really great questions!
Done @therealwolf. Excited to see you live on @dlive and that too with @meno. Cheers you guys!
Thank you @hungryhustle! Excited to answer your question(s) :)
Awesome. Did you select any of my questions? Even if you do not select them, can you answer them in the comment section on the DLIVE? That'd be really great TRW. No pressure though. It's totally upto you. ;-) Cheers!
We haven't selected questions yet, but with a first glance, they look good. Will answer them regardless if on air or not.

I will for sure participate. Although I have been active on Steemit daily I still don't understand every element of the steem ecosystem. I think getting an AMA is a great initiative to get to know some things better and also to raise awareness. Good job!

How to earn on steem?
@therealwolf,you have showed a great information....thanks
Great show
Posted using Partiko Android
good work and good job
Submitted my questions.. It will be interesting to see how you tackle some of them.. Im just wondering if you will be getting the answers ready ahead of time or winging it on the spot.
I think preparing them would be a smart move, since you would have time to think about it and the experience of watching the stream would be better for us since we would get more complete and better thought out answers.
will be great while talking to you @therealwolf
Love your steempage :)!

Your post was mentioned in the Steemit Hit Parade in the following category:
This is a really nice initiative. Great idea! I've sent a question through the doc form.
Thanks, @therealwolf for highlighting and answering my question within this post. You are making the right move doing a AMA on my favorite internal broadcasting venue. I will say that I took you for just another lazy do nothing witness, you have to admit that Steemit has some real winners. With that said, do you realize that it would of took me scrolling through months of your blog posts to find your intro. Just saying... Not sure if you knew I did a full out blasting of @netuoso a while back. I see that you did a whats over on him. I also made @themarkymark uncomfortable, but with that said, I also praised him for stepping up and leading the troops. I would like to do the same for you, not a roast. No need for that. You got the message when I replied to your post the other day. You can see that I am quite passionate about Steem. Unfortunately, I do not have outside centralized big brother accounts to prop up my Steemit experience. If you take a look at my wallet, I have been removing Steem from my account. Maybe on Wednesday you can change my mind.
Sorry that you did not have the chance to see the broadcasts and videos I had on @dlive. There was some good and some critical opinions about the corporate share holders and how they are in bed with Google (Alphabet). I hate everything about Google, so no doc for me. Well make a long story short. I thought I was attacked by some blockchain thief. It turned out to be a disgruntled employee erasing all of videos and some of my blog posts. I just found out this morning. Just goes to show that theft and sabotage can come from within an organization.
Well, that is that I guess. I am going to follow you. I do look forward to Wednesday. By the way, I can tear up the dance floor. Thanks. Roberto

My questions are submitted. Can't wait to tune in tomorrow.

Where does steem go when the only content available is from people that buy their own trophies and all the inflation has concentrated into the hands of those that sell the reward pool?
What is the relevance of more steem power???

This is a wonderful initiative @therealwolf and @meno! :-) I dropped a question in the form, but I'm not even sure I'll be able to make it tonight; I'll do my best, for sure :-) Transparency is key to any trust-based economy and democracy, so nothing but respect for this! :-) <3
Hopefully more people like you will put themselves out there and get this platform a bit more trustworthy.
