I have often marveled at the amazing connections that have been forged here on this cyber platform. Steemit is much more than a blogging site. It's being used to transform lives and to connect the digital realm to the physical one! The Steem blockchain has produced the funding to create physical objects and environments!
Take a Look at These Two Examples. They're Incredible!
Example One: Transforming Lives in Nigeria!
Miraculous things are taking place in Nigeria with the opening of Steem Accelerator Hubs. These hubs, which are financed by Steem, provide light, a conducive working environment and free and uninterrupted internet service! Steem entrepreneurs are able to supply young and talented Nigerians with services that the local authorities cannot! How inspiring! Check out @stach or read about their first hub here and about the opening of their second hub here.
What is taking place in Nigeria is exciting and it warms my heart! Image source
Example Two: Bringing New Life to a Neglected Park!
@stach is supported by @sndbox. If you haven't seen what these guys have accomplished check out this post where you can see how these two amazing designers @varonoi and @hansikhouse created an actual physical garden/park funded entirely by Steem!
What an amazing example of collaboration. Image source
My First Look at The Physical SteemCards!
There are many other examples of how Steem has powered real world projects but let me just continue with the saga of my own "silly" little project.
Yesterday the first printed version of Steemcards finally arrived! Most of the personalities featured on the 2017 cards have become "famous" because of Steemit and the development and production of these items has been funded by Steem. In a sense this fun project has become a paying "job" for a graphic artist and writers!
@airmatti and I purchased these samples, had them sent to @papa-pepper and then he relayed the balance off to me. I hand delivered some to @airmatti last evening and also prepared a package for @exyle which @lellabird60 took to the post office this morning! Whew! That's team work Steemit style!
What Other Projects Can be Funded With Steem?
- What other "physical reality" projects have you seen that are powered by Steem?
- What other "physical reality" projects would you like to see?
I hope that you enjoyed this article "Projects Uniting The Virtual With The Real World Using Steem Style Teamwork!"
Until next time,
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
It is indeed amazing how something can come out of nothing....how just "words" can produce something concrete and real such as what is happening in Nigeria!
Indeed @lellabird60 indeed!
Steem blockchain is incredibly benevolent. My personal experience with Steemit has been such a gift. I will soon share how Steemit enabled me to purchase my first car and complete my home. I have done 3 charity projects so far through Steemit which have benefitted actual people. I cannot thank the community enough but the blockchain itself is worthy of all praise.
Hi @ilyastarar, It's incredible what you have been able to do! Well done!
I appreciate your work for helping needy people.You have done a great job for steemit especially for newbies.
I'm really looking forward to reading your post. In case I miss it feel free to pm when it's out. It's so hard to keep up with everyone! :)
I know it's hard. That is why I added you to my chosen authors for whom I get notified (through Ginabot).
After two years I am still learning so many things. I will need to brush up on Ginabot!
I covered Ginabot in a guide which was included as a resource by @ginabot in a recently trending post. I will be glad if it helps.
@stach is doing a good job. Yesterday, I was at one of the hubs they support.
This is so exciting! Thanks for sending me the photo and I wish you rich blessings!
Thank you. Blessing too.
wow that's awesome!
yea this stach uyo
Great and amazing stuff going on in these places, thanks for using my picture, creating more awareness of the awesome things happening in Nigeria and beyond
Oooooh so glad that you found the article. What a great selfie you took there bro!
Thank you sir, I always search for my mentions and I go through it, I'm privilege to be on your post and more privilege to get a reply from you.
Thank you sir
What you showed here made me think how great is the potential of steem based applications. Not only giving something to do to people, as other socials do. But actually giving a way to make a living and impacting in a good way everyday life! We need more projects like those, people be inspired!
Im from Nigeria. Steemit has really brought value to my country
This is such great news for me!
Sure steemit has changed lives here in Nigeria. Its amazing how many people here have transformed from been financially dependent to amazingly free exploring people who do the things they like doing for the steemit community and for their environment and get paid for this. @stach has been great and hopefully more steem entrepreneurs who rise up. I'm currently working on a project which i hope to announce to steemit community soon. Hopefully the support will be great
I am overjoyed for the successful projects in Nigeria and I wish you great blessings with yours!
That's really wonderful @kus-knee. I want my countrymen to steem on like Nigerians are excelling:) I have deep regard for all loving community and supporting hands.
Every project of steemit worth appreciating. Cards are symbol of love and respect on steemit which is being displayed in such heartfelt manner.
I am happy to read about your hopes and dreams. You can do it!
It's a project doesn't matter old or new. It will be a great team work. I wish it will be going to twinkle of an eyes. It's my personal opinion..
This is a fascinating vision! I learn from you about our future with STEEM. Thank you friend @kus-knee
Thanks for having a look!
Great project
Thanks!
Wow it's very exciting with all these new projects funded by Steemit!
Thanks for all the updates @kuss-knee
Fo shure mon!
My book was powered by Steem.
Great example!
Thank you my friend! I'm really sick- just got my post of the day out... Now back to bed!!!
Yeah, it's really amazing. But eeekhm...
It's @voronoi :d
Thanks for letting me know! Fixed!
It is amazing what is happening in steemit in relation to the steem, these two examples came to light, there are many people who are doing things to all lungs, only with the compensations of their jobs, acilos for abandoned animals, support rural schools, others are doing things with the environment, planting a tree, there are others of recycled slogans, I recently read of a large donation in Africa. It is admirable what people can do for the people all with the steem gained.
Excellent work dear friend you are doing, bringing to light all these good deeds that is happening in steemit.
The cards were very beautiful.
I wish you a wonderful day dear friend @ kus-knee
Thanks so much my good friend. I wish you a wonderful weekend full of joy and blessings!
yes, steemit in my case I change my life ecomonically since I am very low resource a short time ago I did not know that steemit existed and I passed it from ptc in ptc trying to earn me a few cents a day to be able to sustain since here in venezuela the source of work, it is very difficult to achieve and the economic crisis is not killing, but thanks to steemit everything changed for me, I am happy to know that the steemit team take this beautiful initiative to help those most in need as in nigeria I am happy about that.
It would be nice to read about similar projects in Venezuela!
That is my goal, God, if I am well in Steemit, I am thinking about doing a project to help the most needy and open a steemit operations cyber, if I change my life because I can not change to another.
yeah I agree! Venezuela has it hard right now.
Steem is changing lives. The only Blockchain that is changing the world for good. @stach is doing so well.
Building steem accelerator hubs around nigeria.
I'm glad to be a part of this steem ecosystem and @stach project.
STEEM ON
I am thrilled for my Nigerian brothers!
with stach we will raise youths that will tell the governement to F#CK off when they give them money for election violence
Bravo @kus-knee !!!
Yeah, I heard about @stach and @sndbox (they refused my application, haha) ... I also like the @runningproject :-)
And of course I love all your projects!!! Great Ticino-Team-Work, haha!!!
For my "Postcard-Project" I have been inspired by you and @papa-pepper :-)
Big plastic hug
Steemitri The Mannequin
Sorry about your being refused but so many others have welcomed you with open arms!
Are you a runner?
Haha... I'm a fitness-mannequin, but I run only in my dreams :-)
@stach is doing an amazing job. We went to an Orphanage on Valentine's day, funded by stach and active members and i posted about it already. It was such an indescribable feeling. So many amazing things being done through @steemit.
Wow, that's great to read. I'll go and check it out!
This warms my heart. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Means a lot to me.
I just finished a book called ‘Together is Better’ by Simon Sinek and one of my favorite quote is: “A vision is like a dream - it will disappear unless we do something with it. Do something big or do something small. But stop wondering and go on an adventure”. It’s exactly what I felt when I read your post, let’s stop wondering and Steemit is a great plataform if well used to go on an adventure. Have a Happy Friday my Friend!
Thanks for your input and I'm so happy that you're finding a nice home here and in your mother tongue as well!
Thank you! I wish I had more time to interact with more people, but little by little I get there :) And it was a nice surprise to find an active brazilian community here. Everything happens for a reason, right?!
Fisrt of all congratulations for reminding us those two examples that are truly amazing. People have the bad habit to forget
And your cards are also amazing.each and every one of us should try his best to grow this platform
Yeah steemit can be a life changer. A resteem from me is the least i can do
Thanks so much for your kind words!
Community means strength that join our strength to do the work that needs to be done.Arms to hold us when we falter.A circle of healing a circle of friends.some place where we can be free...
stay blessed thanks for sharing the post:):)
You make some nice points!
wonderful jobe @kus-knee . thanks for share The Old Dog Reports: Projects Uniting The Virtual With The Real World Using Steem Style Teamwork! post. i like it.
Thanks for having a look!
a good post my friends can only upvote and resteem. although I am just a small fish.
I appreciate your comment.
thanks a lot my friend. I will always follow you @kus-knee
Wowww that's amazing to read! We are very lucky generation to live in such a progressive period now! It was almost impossible till now to become rich if you are very poor, today everybody can earn a lot of money. My mom always told me : Who owns information that owns the world! Now i see that she is completely right!!
Thanks for your encouraging expressions!
It's all so exciting and no telling what other fantastic initiatives will pop up. Your cards are fantastic and the park looks lovely. I would like to make a steem funded food garden for folks in my area. I will look into that!
Your project sounds spectacular. I wish you much success in getting it started and completed!!!!
Thank you!!
Not exactly a project but this guy got a laptop after writing his posts DAILY on his phone for 2 months! Being a member of the steemstem team it makes me feel proud since I think I contributed a bit to something so big for him :D
https://steemit.com/thankyou/@kenadis/thank-you-steemit-thank-you-steemians-thank-you-steemstem
Cool example. Thanks!
Steemit has impacted so many lives financially. I am a witness to that. Apart from finance, I learn alot on the platform because to be a writer, you must read alot. There is also a new community called @bund in Nigeria showing new steemians the ropes on the platform.
It's great to see all of these projects taking place!
Excellent projects. I recently started a project to fund my football team. I started an account @team1 and conduct reports on games in the city championship. I want to achieve for the young team participation in the national championship, for which this project was created.
Nice post. I have got a charity project coming up that will help the community and the small steemians! Let's succeed together!
Really good work..Teamwork is an essential and useful trait in all sectors of life..such as if it s for a noble act like this...I believe Children in Need are the best charity to donate to.
Brilliant!! Surprisingly the technology has so much to to offer help humanity yet it's used mostly to spread hatred n violence.
I am sure with so many good people in steemit it will set great examples of people standing by the side of others in need from other end of the world without actually being physically present.
hello dear @kus-knee
Its really nice fiction and stuff about steeming the valuable post at their own source, thanks for update indeed work to community for great information.
Its wonderful stuff about steem and block-chain blog.
Appreciate the best of this event that you have done so well for this post and it is a great opportunity for your fellows to take the #steemit forward.
All the best and steem on
this is a very amazing post... i appreciate your post.. upvote and resteemit done
Communication leads to community that is, to understanding intimacy and mutual valuing, for a community to be whole and healthy, it must be based on people love and concern for each other.
stay blessed and thanks for sharing...
Nice post @kus-knee.

a nice post
its really nice fiction and stuff about promoter of steemit @kus-knee
this wonderful work and creativity is indeed the value. appreciation and inspiration is every time for your stuff.
Good job bro, nice post
Great to see any project that unites cryptos with the real world.
That is what is required for mass adoption of blockchain tech.
Yes, I am quite amazed at how powerful Steemit has been to my Awareness. I am only in for a week now but within this short period of time already it feels like a "new normal". Even though Facebook is losing its users already, this week gave my perception on Facebook's downfall a huge push, it suddenly feels absolutely outdated and "antediluvian". I love it :)
Wow this is unbelievable. I am so happy to see this. Steem is helping people and helping people how:) Nigerian people keep on rocking steem.. it's giving recognition to people from small countries. Make your countries proud too Brother and keep helping the new ones there
Stach is doing a great job and i commend the efforts of its leaders and team members.. They indeed transforming lives all over nigeria
Very informative sir ☺☺ With a lot of information ☺ Thanks for sharing us
@Upvoted
The Steem blockchain is a huge opportunity for growth and there will be a lot of value created because of it in the future. As long as Steem Power is desirable and people are willing to pay to get more of it, the blockchain will be able to support awesome projects and initiatives. But we should never forget that this is possible only if the blockchain continues to create value for the people who are invested in it.
@stach has initiated a lot of Nigerians and Africans to steemit throughthe generosity of most of it's members...
I'm sure I won't have been a steemians if not for one of @stach 's promo-steem projects
