VOTE HERE

Voting will conclude Friday afternoon.


What is the Steem Silver Round?

Two years ago steem silver gold community member @sevinwilson had a brilliant idea! He suggested the community should design a one ounce silver round especially for Steemit. Designs were submitted. Votes were cast and the round was made. 1500 were minted and they sold like hot cakes. In 2018 the whole process was repeated. These rounds were specifically designed and selected by community members to capture the spirit of Steemit.


2017 and 2018 Rounds

This year marks the THIRD iteration of this .999 pure silver piece.


And I would be SUPER excited if my design was selected as the 2019 round.

Original mock up.


Yeah, I know. I am posting about this WAY too much. I never thought my little design would get this far (especially considering the high quality of the competition.) But here I am, hoping, hoping, hoping to some how edge out Edxserverus and his fabulous shield.


My round features phoenix rising from the ashes. Steem value has been low, hard fork 20 got us down, but as we all keep steeming ahead, the hope is the platform and Steem will rise to bigger and better things.

The words at the top of the round are from Seneca, a Roman philosopher/statesman. Ignis aurum probat, miseria fortes homines. In English this translates to:

“As gold is tempered by fire, so strong men are tempered by suffering". The meaning is that in order to become pure gold, the original gold-bearing ore must go through the tempering process of fire; the analogy being that for a man strong in spirit, adversity and suffering are the tempering agents necessary to refine his character and bring out his true potential.

In the case of Steem and Steemit, there have been challenges, but ultimately our communities have become stronger as a result.☺️


If this sentiment and the image with it appeal to you, I would be super grateful for your vote in the design competition.
