You know what's great about getting money? Giving money. And you're awesome, so I want to give you some money.
Let's make it rain!

Downvoted: buying upvotes is cheating
I didn't know there were rules.... sorry officer. Fixed it for ya!
And here's a shiny Steem Dollar.... because you care!
ah ok ... maybe starting to make sense... sorry for being dumb....
He probably imagined it,but he doesn't care about it apparently. Here's an upvote for you.
Thank you for being a defender good intentions!
I did not see it as buying upvotes, the post actually made me smile for the fact he was sharing and not being selfish... for me its not about the money it was about the fact someone was doing an act of kindness...? paying in back to the steemit society i guess you do not agree? please tell me how you do see it? as a tiny little insignificant fish who is learning i am genuinely interested to know
"Upvote = Steem Dollar" is a statement about buying upvotes. I'm not judging OP's intentions but his action. If OP's intention was genuinely to giveaway Steem dollars without expecting a return, downvoting his post should be harmless to him.
You must be new around here. :)
No upvotes = never to be seen by anyone except Jacques Cousteau.
Now, Jacques is a great guy and all, but he didn't help me out on Steemit. So why should I write a post for Jacques?
If you need the post to have visibility avoid any wording that suggests that you are buying votes in your future giveaway posts. We want people to vote for content they think is good and be rewarded for helping promoting good posts. A direct reward for upvote shortcuts the curating process and diverts rewards from content producers and curators which is a bad thing for the network.
I agree with everything you said.
And curating gets you $0.001. I'll give you $1. If I had an ulterior motive I wouldn't tell you. But people like you are why Steemit will survive. And thrive. Well, and people like me. It's a ying and yang. But whatever, thank you for caring, caring is awesome!
Without upvotes no one will see this, and if no one sees this, I can't share. Only whale upvotes will get you paid and I assumed, correctly, that I would not get any whale love for this. I think recursive has good intentions too.
Rule #8: I (altoz) will also share my Steem Dollars from this post. Evenly divided among those who upvote.
Damn this just got serious! @altoz you da man!
I decided to do one better, I just donated $1000 to St Jude Children's Hospital! I am also going to donate every SteemDollar I make from this post: https://steemit.com/donations/@blueorgy/i-will-donate-every-steemdollar-earned-from-this-post-to-st-jude-children-s-research-hospital
Let's change the world!
Have an upvote! Lots of steem hoarders out there. Why not spread it around a little?
I love this place. And you.
I challenge you to donate as well! This place is AWESOME!
https://steemit.com/donations/@blueorgy/i-will-donate-every-steemdollar-earned-from-this-post-to-st-jude-children-s-research-hospital
@johnsmith better yet you can go onto their website right now and donate the $100! Or if you need you can transfer the $100 to my account andI will use my cc to make the donation for you. I'll add the confirmation here :)
How about I send you $100 and you donate it?
It will mean 100 less Steemians get $1.
But you sound like nice a person.
So I will trust you.
This one time.
I like the way you think. Have a dollar!
LOVING IT!
It's amazing how generous people become, in the face of a sudden increase of wealth. :) I ever hit a 7K post in a week, I'll be doing the same as you. Thank you!
Keep it Clean!
TheCleanGame Blog Posts, Neatly Categorized
And this is why giving is better than getting! You just stole my punchline, and it makes me happy.
LOL
There you again. That's like 30 cents per letter. I wrote entire posts for less.
@johnsmith is for realz
This is going to be like an auction, isn't it? Without the fun little paddles.
Just below the fold under "hot". Rapidly approaching the 100 mark.
Put on your party dress!
That is also nice of you. The one thing that amazes me is that some people are happy to share their success where as many are out for themselves. Well done to you too... i have much admiration for you both..
Have an upvote! You seem like a nice person.
Thank you.. i try to be :) and so are you xx
Such love!
Have an upvote man! Have loads of it!! :D The more the better for everybody! :)
I think you're catching on!
Wow thanks
Thanks for being here!
I think you're the $11 winner?
Thank you! I would have completely missed it.
Front page of "hot"!!!
Nice!
I believe so too, kind sir!!
I'll take you word for it! If anyone else has an problem with aish winning, take it up with aish and altoz. See how a community works? It's nice. Altoz and aish are also now volunteered to tell me when we hit 1001 and cause I'm going to have no idea. This is crazy fun! Minnows FTW!
Thank you so much! Can't believe i got $11 wow!!! so..so.. grateful!!
Once I am in a position I am going to do the same :)
Ooops, now it's 12!
Yes, everyone should be able to excrete feces as needed. But why must this be a rule?
Cos its his post and he said so?
I like how you think! And yes. So very yes.
Just wanted to be clear, no surprises. I value my alone time.
What would you do for 1000 comments?
Let's find out...
A wild party with champagne.
How about brandy?
Is it decent brandy? you can not have cheap brandy it is awful.. the good stuff or none :)
Let's say its somewhere between awful and decent. I'm a middle-class Steemian citizen.
I agree with champagne and always up for a party :)
WOOT!
Here we have a very good person that treats his colleagues very well,well done sir.
I think you are a secret party animal mr smith !
Steemit Cat Approves this Message
I don't like cats. But I like Steemit. So maybe it balances out.
So then if I ask you for $2 Steem Dollars... will you give me $1, $2, or $3?
But only this one time.
Thanks man, I hope you catch a whale!
That would be a really fun photo op!
Hay not bad, give some steemdollars away & get some back from votes & posts. But you really out did yourself in a great way of showing people how to make a great post! Great job. well done! & thanks for the lesson !
Rule #1 dont talk about Rule #1!
It had to happen.
@johnsmith Make it Steem my friend :)
Bam!
I don't have much free money to give out, but this is definitely something I would do if I were backed up by a few whales! Keeping the money in rotation for the newbies is a great way to encourage users to keep coming back to Steemit and share content! I learned from @berniesanders and now from you @johnsmith
You two are doing an amazing job! I will be sharing majority of the Steem dollars I make from now on, back into the community to get more people connected.
Thanks bro :)
Sharing is caring! And your comment was amazing. So I'm going to double down. Steem on!
You must be tired of clicking.
You have no idea. Or maybe you do, which would make sense because you commented on it. But damn, yes I'm tired of clicking and typing. You know what I'm not tired of? You guys!
Do you want your dollar back? :)
Nope... and I want to give you another one!
Nooo way!!! So nice of you! I hit you with a follow!
You can use steemd.com to count the upvotes and comments to accurately give the 1001 comment post reward :D
Now that is... helpful. Thank you!
Is this a hustle? Serious question not understanding the logic! But good sh..!
Do you want it to be a hustle? We can hustle.
I'm always game to to gain as-long as no harm done to anyone or platform, sh.. put me on to something new! 4real Be nice to build power on here make some real influential up-votes!!!
This is where it starts...
Hope someone doesn't mass spam here just to get to 100/1001.
Me too.
Don't think it will be needed, it will get up there quickly.
I think I might be limiting factor here. Like a sphincter to a gush of pure joy.
This is from my motivational post:
Don't worry about yesterday, yesterday is gone.
Don't worry about tomorrow, tomorrow isn't here yet.
All we have is now so start making your dream come true today.
He has a funny nose. But your words are nice. Thank you!
Thank you for your kindness.
Thank you for your kind words!
couldn't resist so I didn't. . . Arriba, Arriba! Andale, Andale!
Is that really how you spell andale? I'm kinda disappoint. But the dude in the hat is funny.
this shit seriously made me laugh... I'm so dumb & easily amused sometimes lmfao
I see what you did there.
Okay, let's try then!
Well you're fashionably late... like five years in Steemit time. But hey, why not?
Maybe this can help me to have a little more Steem Power.
I NEEEEEDDD it...
If you use the internal exchange you get a little more than you should. Shhhhh... it's a secret.
Very thanks, John! Advice taken and executed.
Very welcome! And here's some more so you can execute some more!
I dont believe you. Send me some mula to try it out ;)
Ooooh... I like challenges.
It works... WE LIT
Well, what kind a dream do you saw?
It did not involve a paycheck signed by not me. And a bikini. Briefly. And probably a blender. Definitely ice cubes. I love ice cubes.
I also created this one!
I sat and watched that for at least 90 seconds.
Spare a square?
This thread right here is why Steemit Kicksass over FB n Twitter .. because people are giving money away and donating .. Very Human of you all..keep it up .. shoot me a vote
https://steemit.com/steemit/@skyzalimit/steemit-is-kickass-upvote-this-to-the-moon
Upvoted and ...
Yea!
Thanks alot Johnny!! Your a real Human
@johnsmith, you'll make a great whale someday. (Maybe someday soon)
Aw shucks, thank you. I can't wait for the whale suit parties. I hear they're fun.
The secret of life is sex, bacon, rock and roll, and marijuana
You sir, win.
Thanks my man! Truly felt that way when I typed it, just wish I could have them all at once right now, only have a few of those things in my back pocket, gotta work for the rest!
Now go write a post about it, and I'll upvote you!
DiCaprio to Dicaprio
That was violent. But entertaining. Only a human could say that. It's awful. But so true.
Its raining !
Little steem coins. See what I did there?
No love for my username?
Goddamn that's good. So good.
How much wood could a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?
Bam!
Hottest thread LOL.....why not use your money to travelling into tahiti or africa LOOOL
and post your traveling experience and tadaaaa you get a lot of money
Well that only works if you're young and look good with very little clothing. So that not being the case... I'd rather have this convo with you!
My family have been kidnapped by ninjas and I need money for karate lessons.
Well... ok. I guess. But don't come back asking for mo' money for ninjitsu lessons when you get your ass whooped. :D
Cha ching!
Thank you.
I just signed up; found this by accident.
If you were me, what would you do next ?
I would read some of the posts flying around .. the ones that teach you about steemit and learn from them personally .. although no expert like these guys
That too.
I would keep posting here and thank the Chinese food guy for your fortune cookie.
Thank you.
That is awesome. And what I feel every time I'm on Steemit.
Steem is been invented to share the wealthy intelligence of people through words.
Yes! Yes! Yes!
I can not believe just how many steem dollars you got for that article. You are pretty amazing, although it was good and I did enjoy reading it. hmm hustling is not my strong point ... maybe as I am just too nice? Haha okay maybe not, I am just rubbish at it. Anyway congratulations on making it big on steemit :) I hope one day to follow in your footsteps :)
The best hustle in life is to be nice. Steem on!
And I like your writing, so I upvoted some stuff.
why thank you mr smith, I do actually appreciate your words.... as you say .. working together benefits everyone :)
Except at buffets. I don't like working together at buffets and don't feel there is any net benefit. Stay awesome!
Way to go! Is John Smith your real name?
Thank you, and no.
Thanks I got it, you're an inspiration. I guess I can learn a lot watching your posts.
Thanks you! And good to know all this typing is doing what I think it's doing. Actually, that's really important. On that note.
Will you be cashing out your steem dollars? If so, will you convert them to Bitcoin, Ethereum, US Dollars, or some other currency?
Nope, giving a bunch of them to this awesome community, then converting to Steem Power. Which is also like giving them to community, except I keep them.
Do you think that post was worth more? I think so i would say at least ten times more.. lol
You know what the best part was? So many minnows working together to get a post to the top. We had some whales, but not as many as most of the top posts. Minnow power FTW!
There are some really good articles out there that deserve to be paid more. Instead of giving out your Steem dollars, you could maybe send some to authors who took the time to write quality posts that were underpaid for the work.
Excellent idea! Except I'm sending them to you, because I'm here, and you're here, and you took the time to write a quality comment, and they didn't. Or maybe you're one of them, so we just wrapped this up. But I'll think about it. And upvote your posts.
Well thank you, i'm not sure i really deserve it ( trust issue maybe) but you did what you said and that's very honorable.
Oops, there you go again. What comes your way you deserve, because if it didn't, you wouldn't.
What is your reason for wanting to defecate your steem all over us so much? Did you just have a big payout? Are you just feeling like being nice? What are the positives that come out of spreading the wealth this way? (I'm a noob and would like to hear your perspective)
I'll just point you here while awkwardly flexing my bicep and giving you a shot of my deoderent: https://steemit.com/motivational/@johnsmith/why-the-steemwhales-are-upvoting-crap-instead-of-your-masterpiece-and-why-you-should-be-happy-about-it
So it's like this. I wrote a post. People liked it. We talked. A lot. Made a difference to the leaderboard. Used our collective minnow might to reward good writing and hard work. No headshot. No bikini. Now we're partying. Cause that's what you do when you do something awesome. Which we did.
How did you do it? How did you manage to make yourself look so much like Leonardo DiCaprio?
Did you spend your $7500 on plastic surgery? Where did you go for the procedure?

I could look like Leo. Or better. Or worse. But no one knows.
Upvoted!
Enjoy it! Spend it in good health...
Exactly what I'm doing. Thank you!
Something interesting, well... one time I was walking down the street and I saw three guys walk into a bar, then the fourth one ducked.
I'm going to need to meditate on that.
What do you think are the best and worst parts of Steem?
Best is you and me right now. Worst is when the corporations show up.
I don't want your steem and your post is useless, but.. it made me laugh, so let's say it's good enough..
If you got a laugh out of it, the world is a better place than if you hadn't laughed. So we made the world a better place. Together. Wanna hug? I'd like to hug. It's nice.
Exactly, but don't push too much for the hug. I should have registered as johndoe for that.
You only live once. And that means you only get so many hugs.
Johnsmith you are certainly sharing the love tonight...( I think he does want that hug)
Who doesn't want a hug?
Sometimes you just gotta drop trou and squeeze out a Cleveland Steamer on someone's chest, man. Not judging.
I concur. Get this man a drink. Don't use Google for the next 20 minutes.
Bro.. you're a dolphin.
We need a measuring stick for these titles. I feel like a badass minnow, but maybe I'm a runty dolphin. How will I know?
We need an official Steemit food chain
every time i need to laugh i watch this video...
hope you enjoy it as much as i do...i'll watch it again...
keep on steeming...
I laughed. Thank you!
Fishing for comments are we? Haha
Aren't you the clever one?
