Since I joined Steemit i have been doing posts where I give homeless people or people in need some cash, show them steemit on my phone, and ask to take a picture so I can have a chance to make that money back so that they can receive a piece of the steemit reward fund if the community decides they want that of course. And so far it has been a success and I have always made my money back and I enjoy doing this as it spreads an incredible word of mouth type effect through the streets that this website steemit.com is just giving away money and THAT will make Steemit VERY popular! Word of mouth is still one of the most powerful and sought after advertising methods that can really make a difference. And people have been happy with this program on steemit AND in real life, especially when I am adorned in my Steemit Hoodie and Hat that @tytran had made for me and sent to me for free as a gift to help me promote steem blockchain locally here in Southern California (San Diego)
So while I was getting gas at the gas station, This guy very politely came up to me and said he needed some money to buy gas after dropping off a friend to the nearby hospital and I just had $3 cash on me and I gave it to him and asked him to pose with it for a photo so I could place it on steemit.com and explained to him what steem was and what bitcoin was and he agreed and was very happy I could make money this way!
--And this woman asked me for a ride to the Trolley station and I drove her there and asked if she was doing OK, she responded honestly with a not really so i asked if she would take a picture with me to get some cash, and gave her $20
Here is my most recent post showing how I will give what cash I may have to anyone who does ask me on the street, https://steemit.com/money/@ackza/just-gave-more-cash-to-another-homeless-person-i-saw-on-my-nightly-walk-here-are-all-my-photos-of-me-sharing-some-of-my-crypto This will show you how often I am asked by the many homeless around here. I don't believe in government handouts but this is NOT welfare, I am a PRIVATE citizen and If I happen to get a high from giving out money and taking pictures so I can make more money, then let me have my hobby, and so WHAT if they didn't "earn" this money, maybe they DID because they were "models" in my Production which earned ME MORE than the money I paid them! sounds like Capitalism to me! Sounds like a win win to me! It's like this human gambling insta karma game, it is very fun to play and I feel like it is helping steemit and helps people who may just need some food or gas, and yes some might spend the money on drugs but they would spend ANY money they get on drugs AND that is no reason to collectively punish the rest of humanity.

(Made about $60 on that Post so that $20 was a good investment, AND you never know, one day I could end up helping someone who then joins steemit and becomes famous and this act of seemingly random kindness will trigger a Pay it Forward style chain of events or maybe he becomes a great developer or ends up bringing millions to the platform!)
Steemit needs on the street word of mouth guerrilla marketing ( As @koh and I will be doing check his Blog ) and look... the economy in the USA is doing so well now and crypto is making us so much money and SBD is so high that I can afford to give money to people on the street just a FEW bucks, and I will make that back with my Steem DOllars SO FAST that I feel it is a GREAT way to A. Build my own brand B. Help others in need who will THEN Join steemit for LIFE after being given such kindness out of nowhere from it and C. It will help STEEMIT and the steem blockchain to have people on the streets doing quasi- humanitarian p2p projects like this, I think it's great Optics for steemit and showing people a website that rewards you for doing and documenting good deeds would be the PERFECT story for a local news station! (I think Local ABC 10 news San Diego or KUSI would love making a steem front end!
Anyway EOS is doing quite well! I have been telling ya'll to start buying it at 50 cents like me! http://Exodus.io now has a nice Order History Feature which shows you here JUST how successful my decisions have been, look at how much I have made on these EOS trades and any EOS you see bought here has been kept and not sold, wow some of those say 1696% nice!
HAH EOS at $9.10 so were almost at $10 I wish more of my friends and family would have listened to me:
I know I recomended Exodus.io wallet for buying and holding EOS with built in shapeshift but I noticed thats never available to buy EOS these days due to shortage of volume maybe? so use Binance and I apologize for recomendeing a servie which did not work but I never have problems with Binance and @whatsup and many other steemians have had great impressions of it and I believe it is a good way to buy EOS with NO need for ID verification like Biottrex and you can buy and sell many coins unavailable even on @bittrex with a 2 BTC withdrawl limit and 100 BTC after simple verification and more if needed, its very nice! I can buy EOS very fast for cheaper than shapeshift or bitshares openledger and withdraw them to my exodus wallet for only 0.7 EOS (which i know is getting more and more now hah used to be much less! LTC fees getting high too making LTC useless! So here is my Binance referral link oh they have a great referral program where you get 50% of fees from people you refer very fair very nice a genius referral program which is REALISTIC! https://www.binance.com/?ref=12761991
(Credit to @elgeko for this great steemspeak.com Gem )
Anyway I have also been trying to tell everyone here to buy EOS and also that Golos and Steem were pumping and here we are, Steem has gone from 90 cents to now over $2, SBD pumped from $1 to now $11, and the holy grail, EOS , from 50 cents when I started advertising that we ALL start buying it to now over $8 almost $9 so a 16 X price increase, so $4,000 would have gotten you over $50,000 in just a few weeks, and that scares some, makes other jealous, makes me mad I didn't put EVERYTHING I had into EOS when I had ALMOST done that, but I am certain it will keep going up and fuck the haters who tell me it is not ok for me to say things like this? No I BELIEVE in the technology and development behind EOS, I see Steem as the proof that the technology DOES work and will be FASTER than anything else.
And look, the EOS mobile in the new Rich the Kid Music video with Kendrick lamar!
YES those are REAL photos of a REAL electric car created perhaps just for this Music Video with Kendrick Lamar and it REALLY does look like a giant EOS logo and is VERY VERY close to the EOS shape
This thing really does look like the EOS logo!
Making so much money on that EOS we driving around in EOS shaped electric Golf carts
Oh and since an anonymous Bitcoin early adopter is giving out 5k BTC or 86 Million US dollars to Charity, we should make our OWN charity that uses steem I have talked about this for a while and
https://news.bitcoin.com/an-anonymous-early-adopter-is-donating-5057-btc-85m-to-charity/
Oh and I almost forgot, I also helped my friend get into Crypto, he is a co owner of Harbor Collective a Medical Legal Cannabis Dispensary here in San Diego, CA and he ordered a Bitcoin ATM , one that can be upgraded with Altcoins like Steem/SBD (there is a github page for it for these generalbytes machines) and I hope to make a post about the first Steem ATM , also I got him into Bitcoin with Coinbase but because of crazy limits for firts time customers, he could only get so much, and he saw me make over $10,000 after he came back for the second night to study crypto from me, and so he wanted to buy some altcoins, and i made some extra SBDs so I let him buy $100 worth of Cardano at 12 cents each and $100 worth of EOS at $8 each so since cardano doubles and EOS is at $9 now he must be very happy to already be over $350 or so now, but I was happy getting $200 right from his ATM in exchange for pure altcoin crypto, no transaction fees, just Bittrex to Binance for Cardano , Exodus to Exodus for EOS,
(Ive finally reached the level of receiving real life goods without even needing to sell altcoins for BTC or use coinbase or Bitpay debit card, I just sold altcoins, ADS and EOS for Cash and saved my friend money nd saved myself money! (he wanted to buy a lot more obviously but I didnt want to cash out that much right now! :D Just 700 Cardano and 12 EOS XD and hes already made an extra $150 or so in the last 2 days since I did this 2 days ago! )
It went very smoothly, and I will make my NEXT post about it but here is a picture of my $200 in cash MINUS a lil I spent on Food and smokes and the weed was free bonus but this was a way for me to avoid having to pay a massive fee of maybe over 25% just to load my Bitpay Debit card WHICH has some insane fees lately due to bitcoin transaction fees! I got the idea from @fyrstikken who said we should just sell our SBD to people for dollars well now it would be steem, but still SBD would work great as a replacement for Bitcoin which could just go up and be for the masses, the People's Bitcoin! SBD can be the People's Bitcoin with no fees, faster times,and anyone can earn some with some steemit posts! And SBD is built into the way steem blockchain works, as long as people will be trying to get rewards and posting on steem then SBD will always have an Innate or Built in demand.
(As you can see, Golos has doubled from 10 to 20 cents, Steem also from $1 to now over $2 and SBD around $11)
And thanks again to @elgeko for the custom photo art below I now use as my signature and will for a long time( I need to burn this message into the photo or put a link to elgeko's Fractal Brotherhood website in the bottom right lol, and thanks to @thejohalfiles for supporting all my high reward posts early on and for supporting Steem Ghana and Nigeria so well and changing lives, and also big thanks to @tytran whose help is making the BIGGEST difference right now with hi steempower because without that I don't think I could be using steemit with as much results as I get now so thank you for the crucial support!

Inspiring and educative as always @ackza. Keep the fire burning
Yes yes man i want to see you find some local advertising you can raise money for in Ghana and show us results of the prices, like how much for a total advertising package to create FLyers Radio TV and Billbaords for a whole week or month to promote steemit.com and we ASO mu buy a DOMAIN NAME we should buy a DOMAIN that leads peopel right to steemit.com/trending/africa or steemit/com/trending/ghana and we can get a domain to lead peopel RIGHT to the category we want people to see first ! And we could have our OWN front end one day but for NOW just domain name will be fine and redirect the domain right to the steemit catgeory Ghana and one for AFrica liek we can buy http://steemitafrica.com and redirect it t http://steemit.com/trending/africa so we can hve an EASY name ya know? Like i am gonna buy a lcaol domain like SteemitSanDiego .com or osmething so i can ,make ONE simple site that shows MY LATEST steemit posts PLUS a side menu with info on how to contact me and how to signup for Steemit and how to find the next local steemi/Crypto class or to signup to meet a local person closest to you who can onboard you because i think a decntralized teaching sytem would be great to help steemit users really come and STAY bevcause many join but fall off the wagon.. we need to RETAIN people and have people STAY and even INVEST and make POSTS
So yeah man imagine how much easier it will be to just tell someone to go to steemitafrica.com or AfricanSteem.com or SteemForAfrica.com ehers SO many domain possibilities we can use and @adept even has a bunch of steem related domains he could let us use,but we can more than likely find our own using http://1and1.com to get teh cheap domain names like $10 to $10 for a whole YEAR ... and I think we should have Ghana Booster like the Nairabooster for Nigerians
and we should have a special CHainBB forum for Ghana users to help each otherget started AND get theor local business on Steem
we should havea program to get EVERY restaurant in Ghana to use Steem and acept steem as payments and show them how they can sell Steem or SBD they get as payment right intio Bitcoin and how they can then sell that Bitcoinf or cash or sit on it and hold ita nd let it gain mroe and more value! I think all business owners will want to aceept crypto soon THEN you can show people that you accept Steem in your town and then you can have clothes stores accepting Steem/SBD and using it to buy Bitcoin and soon everyone will use Steem/SBD and PREFER it! people will be able to make POSTS about their new clothes or food to then make more Stem/SBD to trhen buy MORE food and clothes and even electronics, ANYTHING will be sold for steem and SBD!
Soon they will sell cars and Pay Rent for Apartmnetss and people will sell HOUSES for SBD and steem!
You will have travel agency commercials showing that Your Airlines accept SBD/Steem and Bitcoin for payment and so will your Hotels in Ghana so when people come visit they will be able to use Bitcoina nd SBD STEEM (maybe even an Upvote) to pay for their trips and Ghana can end up becoming a Crypto Haven where people rich in crypto can come and live off their crypto! crypto profits will pay for new infrastructure programs and faster internet, new farming equipment, nd new advisros to come in and restructure the buracracy to make it ALL blockchaina nd dceentralzied governance to allow for pbetter land rights so peopel will FLOOD into Ghana to buy alnd and borrow money against it to then imrpive it and we will see LAND being used for agroculture liek CRAZY and food being rpoduced SO fast and cheap in Africa that Africa will then need to cal on mre ships to export all that food and so they will then be able to ORDER more products on thsoe ships and we will see MORE trade and lOWER shipping costs to Afrcia and so youll be able to order mroe stuff online mroe cheaper smartphoens better inetrnet technology mroe high speed mbile interet towers and we will see massive economic growth in all fo Ghana when we get MASSIVE eduication and avdertising programs to get EVERYONE using Steem and cryptocurrencies as the MAIn currency!
We just need custom website for Steem Ghana nd that website should just take us to steemit.com/trending/ghana and then when we make a custom one, we make a special front end that shows us latest #ghana related posts but which also will have a form for people to propose cool ideas which we THEN write a post about and then award the person who submitted the form with some percentage of the steempower or SBD made from the post that uses their idea, like an online suggestion box that you can putinside your special "SteemitForGhana" or "GhanaSteem.com " or " steem4ghana.com " something like that! it will be a REALLy fast project to make!
@ackza you got my 100% Support Tonight and I Love what you do Man and helping others will only Bless Your Life more and more.
wow, your posts are always an interesting read for me.
for today, the electric car was the highlight of the entire read.

Nice to help people in need :) So EOS you say? :)
Oh my goodness. Do you feel like taking my son some cash in National City? It would be mine lol. I can transfer you the sbd or steem and you can take it to him in USD.
He is most definitely in need, and can pose for photos lol. He's a good kid with ptsd in a long term mess and trying to get out. He lives in a sober living place near the Walmart at Highland and 16th. This place is nice but always something going on. This week it is mice and they are all fighting to get rid of them. But normally, it's just a bunch of guys trying to fix their lives to varying degrees. I think there is 12 men in this place.
I already had cash taken to Caleb by @mariannewest recently and blogged about it here.
https://steemit.com/money/@fitinfun/steemit-success-sending-sbd-from-bangkok-thailand-to-san-diego-california-part-2
She is out in bonita though, so if you are anywhere near National City EVER - you can help me so much. Someone on Twitter called us "crypto-anarchists" for our ability to make cash move at steemit. I still don't have a wallet anywhere but steemit, but I do have some money now!!!
Other than that - more power to you, brother. Both Caleb and I have been homeless in San Diego. Things are not getting any better from what I see from there. I am now in Bangkok with very bad memories and just praying for the place in general. Good for you for helping people. They sure need it.
Sorry i am not very close to national city at all, and I also don't quite understand why I would even be needed? But I appreciate you thinking of a way to get more pictures for this project, but I also I dont think you will want to pay the fees to convert SBD to Bitcoin, and then Bitcoin to Bitpay debit card which is very high now on bitpay AND the ATM withdrawl fee of a few bucks. and pay for my time, because thats the only way i can withdraw cash, and its quite high the bitpay fee that is, especially for smaller amounts which is also a good reason to not withdraw any cash, its best to just have him use steem and not use cash and to just get a BitPay debit card or a Coinbase account to use with a bank account just for crypto, he could get everyone where he is at to use steemit esteem app on their phones and use that as a wallet, and you can also buy him GYFT apps to buy stuff at many stories like wholefoods and grocery stories and many many other popular stores using Bitcoin that you can buy with SBD using blocktrades,
ALSO you know there are Bitcoin Dealers who actually make it their business to drop off Cash when you send them Bitcoin? Just contact a LocalBitcoin.com dealer you find on localbitcoin.com san diego section and set up a trade and let them know you can send them their bitcoins when they arrive and they can just hand the cash to your son , and the Guy I used called "Look No Further" was doing like 5% i think now probobly more like 7% and was able to drive to wherever you needed him to, so that would proboibly be your besty bet for this service, but yeah i can't -dothat as i dont have the extra Fiat or extra BTC to do trades like that sorry, but you have to learn to use other walletsother than steemit othrwise how are you cashing in on selling SBD for the high prices? U know its like $11 per SBD on bittrex right now? U can make so much now and he should be able to post on steemit and make a lot from his story! u know i will upvote him!
I did setup http://localaltcoins.co but no one wants to use it. dunno why, peopel can just post trades for Steem to Cash or Cash to Steem without needing an echange peopel should just tradewith each otehr especially steem for bitcoin. that is important to trade WITHIN steem untill steemit gets it together and actualy has Bitcoin in the internal exchange !
Anyway just text me if u want help learning how to convert SBD to cash, i am sorry i made you think i would be able to function as an exchange for cashing out SBD, butw e WILL have services like that soon where youll be able to make money helping people buy ro sell steem or SBD! @jerrybanfield talked about it as a new feature badly needed in next hardfork,. ad we DO need that DEX for steemit BADLy
I also wanted to tell u that yoru son should buy an AMERICAN EXPRESS SERV CARD because with THAT We can send CASH to him on that card from Anotehr american exprss serv cardusing a simple app, and HE can send his earned Steem;SBD to you ro an exchange we wnan setup, where u send SBD to a bota nd it recharges your SERV cartd since SERV cads let u do Fiat to Fiat free transactions between serv cards! @captainobviou3 was gonna testit out and we just have to find a store locator for them to find out which stores they sell them in besides CVS
Yikes! So much information!
I have tried and failed to open a wallet here in Thailand so far. My son has a coinbase with money in it that he cannot get out of so far.
But now you have all these ideas! Wow. I will read closely and see what I can come up with. Thank you so much!
www.coins.co.th and ifmtou need a debitmcard, you can get a virtual debit mastercard card using mpay app, it has an English option. Coins.co.th requires very little verification to set up and use but is only for btc. You can even use it to pay bills etc Hope this helps
It does! Thank you so much. I will get myself onto this. I know converting to btc is common, and then going from there. I surely need to figure this out soon :)
using coins.co.th you can withdraw the bitcoin in cash at a thai bank without even holding an account, pay the electric and water bill through their site with one click and topmup your mobile !
Well, I do have a Thai savings account with a dr card, so I hope that will be seamless. I'm just waiting to be approved (I hope). I'm looking forward to paying with this though. I have not managed to sign up to see my bank account online so I have to go to the atm to check my balance lol.
❤️❤️❤️National City❤️❤️❤️
I will be in the San Diego Area for Christmas and can drop $$ after the 26th.
I don't know how to message-but teach me how and I'll be happy to help. Of course only if the OP can't. ❤️❤️❤️
lol - not like my son does not need money constantly! What a nice trip for you. We can make any arrangement that suits your timing.
I'm not in messaging either, but my email is sjfrenchtosd@yahoo.com Please send me an email and let me know details and I'm sure you can do this if you want to. I will definitely post about it and post pics if you send them :)
Thank you so much for offering. I have been sending though paypal or western union and it's terrible on fees.
I emailed you ❤️
good information analyze @ackza. i like yue post and following.
really i'm very sorry @ackza ... I don't mean to offend anyone... I'm a newbie here.
I don't understand what's going on.
I'm tired to build my account...... Please @ackza , you're destroying everything I have.
What? How am i destroying everything you have?
I comment on kingscrown post .... And I was thanking him.
I didn t know he was abusing others
Then suddenly you answered it and noticed that my account is decreasing from 48 to 45... I think you're reporting on my account.
Actually, I don't know anything about the difference between you.
I have no guilt
Today I was glad that the account improved a bit... Then everything disappeared.
I'm tired to build my account...... Please @ackza
I did not flag you, I was was upvoting you, not flagging you
I went and upvoted your posts, if you didnt notice?
Also your flags have been removed anyway, but i did not make them!
Go on http://steemspeak.com and go talk to @fyrstikken if you still see any flags and it will be explained and most likely reversed, but it was necisary action to get certain peopels attention I see now, and I saw what happeend, peopel had to come into steemspeak to talk and @theaustrianguy and others in that circle even made peace and found new supporters for their steem developers project, i believe the whole Steem Berlin and steem Vienna meetup circle will only gain new publicity from this event and dont worry, you will be fine!
Like i said, you just got caught in the cross fire of a whale and dolphin war , just don't mess with the white whale, people shouldn't mess with Moby Dick!
But Like I said, you are fine, your reputation score had nothing to do with me, i never flaged you like i said, why are you asking me?
hah you say :please ackza" as if I am the one who flagged, but it was not me!
and sorry about your reputation score but i believe it is back up now, and go ask @fyrstikken to remove his flag on steemspeak.com discord chat if it is still there! Im sure he will help, and maybe you will even get some more upvotes like how I upvoted you!
Remember, i went and UPVOTED you i neevr flagged you! I UPVOTED You!!!!!!! :D:D:D
Amazing ,you are true angel ,respect ehat are you with homeless people ,much respect mate .😉 few days ago I.also checked new freezer video , I didn't recognize eos ,but now I see. Btw I like that song. Cheers
Wow!
You are very supportive.
When I get the opportunity i will follow your footsteps bruh
really great work..friend.
Hey man a close friend of mine was also looking to put a BTC ATM into my city, was wondering what the prices would run you? Im Canadian so maybe its slightly different but I'm not 100% sure would be really interested. Besides that love the post homi! You recommend EOS will keep mooning?
UPVOTED FOR THE STROOPWAFFELS.... I wish I had some stroopwaffels right now.
Very helpful information thanks for sharing @ackza
Upvote and restreemed this post now
