STEEMIANS HAVE BEEN BLESSED BEYOND BELIEF!
For those of you who have been watching the Daily Selfie Challenge you probably know that after the generous donation of 500 SBD from @anonymous.donor the total prize pool crept up over 1000 SBD.
Once the value of SBD skyrocketed yesterday, the remaining players got to talking and I offered up an opportunity. Rather than waiting for everyone else to get eliminated and only having one winner, perhaps giving SBD time to drop in value, I offered up an opportunity to split the reward pool.
Every remaining player agreed and consensus was reached, so in the past 24 hours I've paid out almost 1500 SBD in prizes!
HOW MUCH IS THAT IN USD?
Interestingly enough, with the current value of SBD hovering around $7 USD each on bittrex at the moment, this means that I basically was able to give away $10,000!!!
Think about that for a moment.... It was a selfie contest! LOL! And yet, because the players were steemians, they were each able to make hundreds of dollars doing it! Of course they had to be committed on a daily basis fr 57 days straight and avoid being eliminated by qualifying every day, but still!
How crazy is that? Personally, even with as generous as I have been on steemit, without the support of players for my games and contests, and in this case without the generous donation from @anonymous.donor, I would never be able to do things like this!
It is just one "small" (yeah, $10,000 = small) example of how incredible steemit is and how amazingly awesome the economic potential of this platform and community are. Folks, I believe that this is just the beginning!
Also, for those of you who were the remaining players in the contest, I still owe each of you 4.5 SBD, but I've gt more contest post payouts to wait on. I'll get them to you soon. I am glad that you were all able to agree and receive this massive blessing! Good choice!
BE BLESSED BY HIGH SBD VALUE
In case you haven't seen it yet, please check out this video I made last night to get a better understanding about how amazing the current SBD value is for us all as we post on steemit right now.
For those of you who have been waiting for Season 2 of the Daily Selfie Challenge, keep an eye on the @papa-pepper account. I'll do an in depth recap and then a sign up post in the near future! STEEM ON MY FRIENDS!!!!
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
SBD just hit over $10 each on Bittrex right now!
Wow!!!

I had a great time. Will do again. I miss the fun.
This is AWESOME and AMAZING!!! An even better Xmas present for folks than I was hoping for.
I sooooooo hope many, if not all of our winners turned that prize into money if they needed it now, or went all in on steem with it and boosted their power.
Stories, stories....where's our contestants at???

Taking selfie has never been so interesting before. Thanks
No kidding! I used to think that selfies were worthless. LOL!
Not on steemit!
Pretty intricate.
I'm telling you. And I have over 4900 Facebook friends posting their beautiful art works and selfie everyday.
OMG @papa-pepper ! That is so Fantastic of you , Congratulations guys im so glad you all agreed to split the rewards pool WELL DONE !!! I cant believe how much Steem Dollars are skyrocketing every time I check it out , and im eagerly waiting for my posts to pay out a bit before the price drops so I can sell them for more steem ! LOL! The Steemit community really is incredible and for sure the economic potential is out of this world my friend !! WE MUST NEVER STOP STEEMING ON !!! TO THE MOON AND BACK !!! 🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
NO back! NO back!
Haha OK !! To the Moon and Stay there ! LOL!😂😂😂
Thank you @papa-pepper for this great contest and your proposition about cashing in now.
I had turned ALL of the SBD into STEEM POWER!
Can I post about some days from this finished amazing contest like this?:

Wow! That is really impressive!
It really is!
I'll get the final update to Coffeesource.net up incase you want to use it for your recap post ;p
Blessings to you Papa - we've received ours today!
SBD just hit over $10 USD on Bittrex!
In coinmarket.cap is in 5.60))):::
But the Steem is in 1.90
SBD almost hit $18 each on bittrex a bit ago!
Just sold the last ones you sent us for $15.57 each. I actually started selling SBD at $2.50 a few days ago. If this is going to be a yearly thing I think I will save up ;p
Nice! How profitable selfies have become! wiking emoji
Really fabulous and great moment for steemians.
No time to be wasted online...Investing in steemit is just really awesome.
I preach steemit everywhere and at all times.
Steemit to the moon
It is amazing. I would have never guessed that much would be given away in just one contest!
Absolutely awesome indeed! I hope the winners use this situation not to sell for fiat, but to power up and keep the value on the platform for themselves long term! This is a great opportunity to get steem cheaply for your SBDs.
Yeah, turning all of the SBD into STEEM POWER would be amazing!
I'm glad that they have the option to do so!
Will you be jumping in next season?
It's awesome! :)
I might be though I think I'll struggle with the consistency needed. Also, I'm not really into taking selfies even though we're talking about really fun ones here ;) I was planning to stay anonymous on the platform, but convincing my significant other to sign up kind of gave me away already, so the likelihood of me being up for it has significantly increased ;)
I think Steem is going up too, so may not be a bad idea. These are just crazy times
The times are crazy, but I think steem power is a very good long term bet. It allows us to participate in the ecosystem and to have a say in the distribution of value. The whole thing is pretty great I think and I'm surely optimistic.
Wow! How amazing! I just powered up the remainder of my sbd, steemit rocks! Thanks for all you do
Glad to hear that you are IN!
I repeat it is the people here at steemit that make it great! I gave you a shout out @papa-pepper on my last Blog!
Cool, thanks! I agree.
@papa-pepper This is great news for everyone whom is here for the long run! Best wishes to you always! Fyi, just came back from Joshua Tree...beautiful place. If you have a chance check out my post :) - @splendorhub
Thanks, I will.
I never would have thought that the selfie contest would end in such a miraculous way! So awesome..
No kidding! It is amazing!
I'm blown away. Never have selfies been so useful.
Haha. This is simply amazing!
I´ve been so busy last couple of months so I havent had much time here on Steemit.
Regretting that now.. :)
i seriously do not understand that this did not reach television !! hahaha, when you see what happened in them days and how much people liked what they were doing, i find it incredible, it definitely has been one of the best contest ever :-)
Thanks so much. And right before the Finland round....
sorry i shuffled your name forward .... :-)
That's just freakin awesome!
What a Christmas present huh?
Good on everyone for sticking it out and seeing the payout.
And thanks again to @papa-pepper for just being his awesome self ;-)
It is an amazing ending to an interesting contest!
Actually I don't think you could have ended that better. A lot more people got paid out a incredible sum of money, just before Christmas.
Just awesome. I'm glad I was a part of it for as long as I was.
Me too! It was fun to see you play!
Man I missed out on this by 2 days. That's what I get for looking at the quick draw winners pic instead of going by papa-peppers. Congrats to you all. Best wishes in the next contest.
This is the most incredible thing which has happened to me in a long time!! Thank you so much for all the work you put into this challenge and for setting up this generous split of the payout, to begin with.
You give so much and it is highly appreciated!!
To tell you the truth, I was very hesitant to join since selfies were not my thing - at all.
Emphasis on were!! This has been so much fun and you have facilitated great friendships forming among all the players.
And you have incorporated a way that every player was a winner through the generous bonus points.
Thank you so much!!!
Trust me, I know how you feel!
I am so much speechless... Never had that much sbd since joining steemit. But thanks to the contest of @papa-pepper I had enough and i never expected it since i am the bottom point earner. I really feel blessed ang in so much joy.. For now.. Just waiting for poloniex to transfer the money on my wallet.
Again and again and again thank u so much @papa-pepper. And GODBLESS us all..!
God bless you too! You made a lot of people happy today by agreeing! Be blessed!
@papa-pepper is one of the best steemain with best contest. I'm looking forward to the day i'm going to start making research on how enter one of your contest when i get a better phone with a nice camera.... Hail the only pepper that makes steemit pepperish
Thanks man! Enter any contests that you wish! I run a lot!
The only post I've seen of yours without a selfie, lol. Of course, I don't get out much. Can't wait for rev 2!
LOL! Thanks @reedracer !!!
That is a great conclusion to this contest!
I don't think it could have ended any better! Thanks!
I didn't see the contest earlier.
If I had seen it i would have taken a shot at it with the hope of winning.
The money would have been used to power me up so that i can better contribute more to steemit community with quality upvote of good contents.
You can join in next time then!
My eyes are peeled, stuck like a shadow to the @papa-pepper account while waiting for season 2 of the daily selfie challenge.
Good, then you won't miss it!
omg somebody donate to me 1 sbd for this great news!!! I just sold my only sbd available for 16$$$$ :PPPP
Crazy, isn't it?!?!?!

that's right!
#BEZZZZZZEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRK
LOL
I believe you initiated the "chaos" yesterday ...xDDDDD
I have posted (half hour ago) showing pictures I took of my computer screen showing SBD going over $19. Check it out on my blog. That would have made your giveaway almost $30,000. Nice.
Yeah, completely crazy times here on steemit!
It was such an honor to be part of this historic moment on Steemit! Thank you so much for helping us understand this, although I am not certain I did it right in the end. I did power up, but I think I may have not done it right. My wallet is a lot fatter, so I guess I must have done something right!!
Sounds like it worked out if your wallet is a lot fatter! Congrats on the fantastic ending!
Yes, I think I did do something right. I still have some Steem to power up with, and that confused me. I think I now finally understand the difference between SBD, Steem and Steem Power!
Blessed beyond belief is right my friend !! Also upped and resteemed @momskitchen ! Keep up the great work @papa-pepper !🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀🚀
Thanks man!
Whoa! $10,000! That’s like ₱500,000 for doing selfies! This is really insane! Steemit! 😭
NO kidding!
Thank you @papa-pepper for a great contest and your wise proposition to cash in now. 10 Steemians were able to share the wealth and end the contest on a high note! Also, big thanks to @anonymous.donor for doubling the prize pool which laid the groundwork for the storybook ending.
