After last weeks contest where I gave away 5 Steem Basic Income shares I have decided to host another, and am trying to make this a weekly thing. I truly believe in this initiative as a way to help new Steemians find their feet.
Thanks to all the participants from last week and congratulations to the winners:
@simplymike
@paradigm42
@giddyupngo
@antimetica
@digitaldan
You should start getting upvotes from an SBI account in the next few days on your posts :) If this doesnt start after a few days let me know and I will follow up.
What is Steem Basic Income?
Before I get onto the topic for the contest I quickly want to explain what Steem Basic Income is. From the @steemitbasicincome blog:
Steem Basic Income is a social experiment to bring a basic income to as many Steemians as possible. Members join by sponsoring others into the program. Steem Basic Income is delivered through providing regular upvotes to member content.So basically I will sponsor the winners with share/s in Steem Basic Income and they will receive ongoing upvotes on their posts from SBI - a great way to motivate and encourage minnows to keep on Steeming!
For more information about Steem Basic Income check out this blog by @steembasicincome
This weeks contest
To enter this contest, imagine you woke up tomorrow and checked your Steemit wallet and you had 10K SP (A healthy dolpin!). Write an original post outlining what you would plan to do with this SP (around $23,000 USD). There are numerous ideas such as powering down (no judging here! $23k is life changing to some people!), go full time on Steem, delegate or start your own bot are just a few ideas
If I was a dolphin I would...
The first thing I would consider and think about would be my own financial situation and whether powering down some of the SP would be helpful. We are now unemployed for the next 3 months, and about to start travelling Europe - as you can imagine this will be expensive (more than we can realistically afford!) So in all honesty I would probably power down about 2k, which would fund the majority of the trip/pay for the debt.
As I mentioned in a previous post I am starting to look at delegating Steem Power, so this would be where the majority of the SP would go. I would probably delegate the majority of the Steem Power over the summer months as I don't have the time to put into Steem over summer. I would look at delegating a decent portion to community bots that have been supportive of me and support the community and the rest into something that would generate some passive income for me (I would still be very selective about this, and who I delegate to).
After summer I would un delegate some of my Steem power, and then spend a lot more time manually curating good content, and supporting people who are new to Steem find their feet. With the extra SP I would still upvote my own posts, but I have never and will never upvote my own comments!
So what would you do?
Contest rules and fine print
To enter the contest, as I mentioned you just need to write a post outlining what you would do if you had 10k Steem power - use the tag #ifiwasadolphin so I can find your posts. Feel free to leave a link to your post in the comments below! I will do my best to upvote all entries (depending on VP, and how many entries there are!).
After the payout of this post I will select the winner/s and provide a summary post with links to the winners so they can gain some more exposure.
Upvoting and resteeming this post isn't required will help build the prize pool.
Prizes
Thanks for reading, and I look forward to reading your blogs!
Become a whale
Mostly the same stuff I do now but I would probably be even more active and use less bots.
Yeah true there would be less need for bots if you have more SP!
And possibly less users. Some users use bots to try and gain Steem Power.
Yeah true I think that some people see using bots as an alternative way of powering up

Yea haha I saw it as soon as you posted😀
Oh yea dude it’s a lot! We never know what the next 2-3 years can hold if we keep persisting with this:) I’m hoping in a few years we can be posting to eachother saying remember when we really wanted that 10k sp? Well now we have double that haha! 😀

I look forward to reading @blewitt!
The steembasicincome project is awesome, ive been able to sponsor a few people and so far i am really happy with the results. I am currently working my way up to a dolphin, but i dont think mich would change, maybe if i had about 50k SP i would look into other things, but as for 10k, i would just keep trucking along spreading some love and tryong to create great content. Keep up the good work
I agree @jasonshick I love the project and I am also very happy :)
It is a long way away for me before I am anywhere near a dolphin lol
Well here’s a dollar to get you one step closer ;). Keep spreading the love and helping the community and good things will happen
Thanks @jasonshick I appreciate the support! :)
This is a very cool contest and I've enjoyed reading the entries. I don't think I'm really eligible to do it myself though.
I posted this in the contests forum at the SBI Discord, so maybe you'll get a few more people coming.
Hi @tcpolymath why wouldnt you be eligible? Everyone is eligible! Thanks for the support!
I'm already a dolphin. :)
Ahh fair enough :) - well thanks for resteeming you still have a chance to win!
This is my entry @conradt. Thank you for the contest.

Aww I saw this and was getting all hyped to tell you the story of waking up and physically being a dolphin lol - I will get thinking, I may be doing an impression of the Blind South Asian River Dolphin here, but when is the deadline?
LOl that would have been funny! Deadline is when the post closes - so still another 4 or so days - plenty of time :)
I want to write that for you anyway now lol - maybe if I woke up and found I was a steemit dolphin, I could use the money for the surgery...
Hahaha I dont know being a dolphin might be a good life....
I was as sincere and brief as possible with my publication (good luck to all)...here I leave the link
