Yeah, for sure. But it's easier to send something "tangible" as a 3d-Whale then some imaginary cash. Plus currencies are different everywhere. Or sending him "magic internet money" would not work as that would not be tangible and it would still be "magic".
Plus if Steemy is with him he'd not be far from sea as he lives in Spain. So they can always go for a swim, etc. :).
Hopefully I should see him this weekend on my cousin's wedding (no clue if they will manage to come all the way from Spain. They manage to get finances for coming back just every other year) so I will sell him the idea of joining Steemit again and to start producing. Or at least curating.
It's worth a shot, given that you entered though if you did win the money it would go to you and then I would assume you could transfer it and make it real tangible money for him, to show him it's not imaginary internet money.
Either way you're in on both counts, it can be hard to get people on here but once they see the reality they tend to get on bored rather quickly.
True, that would be pretty damn cool :).
Though I'd try to make him join anyway and write at least 10 posts.
Though he doesn't speak English so I hope there are some good resources here in Spanish :). (I doubt that are any in our language :D ).
We'll see. Basically, thank you for inspirin an idea in me :)
And those googly eyes would be watching him to keep him on point.
