Why Should We Pick You?

I would love to be picked for the fact that I like to be an example to many to show them that a working mother and wife can still blog good contents and comments where necessary. Even though i have been plaglarised like twice for not referencing a posts and pictures. I have inspired a lot of people into farming since I started because as at when I started, there were no much farm posts. Now people ask me questions on their start ups, commitments and passion for the things I do. I have also in the past held steemit meet ups to grow the community.

I think I should be given the chance to help the community grow. Thank you.

Candidate #3

Username:

Start Date:

Primary Niche:

Entrepreneurism, Smartcasting, Research, Innovation, Poetry, Public Speaking, Writing, Spirituality and Hip Hop Culture

What Brought You to Steemit?

Several months ago, I was listening to an interview with Stan Larimer in which he was describing the concept of Delegated Proof of Stake (DPoS) and the superior transaction speed when compared to Proof of Work (PoW). He laid out some concerns to consider for the future of Bitcoin and talked about he son's creation of the Bitshares platform. That's when I began to look for Dan Larimer's work and discovered the Steemit platform. Around the same time, I began working on a new project called smartcasting with my co-hosts Ian Altosaar and David Schofield, and Ian suggested that we move our initiative to Steemit.

Long-term Goals?

My long term goals for my Steemit account are to learn as much as I can about cryptocurrencies, build a genuine following of people who are sincerely interested in the ideas and projects that I will be seeking to create or have created, support other Steemit accounts that provide quality information or services and develop a steady income from my creative and entrepreneurial nature.

Why Should We Pick You?

I am already very active on Steemit, supporting great content creators and initiatives. What I'm lacking is enough Steem Power to have more of an impact as a curator. I also have a lot of ideas that need some funding in order to get them off the ground; projects like Steem Cloud, which is also oriented towards helping minnows and would require only small amounts of Steem in order to get it moving; something that 45 days of a significant increase of Steem Power could help me accomplish. What I believe sets me apart from others is what I just stated above, that I'm already in motion as a content creator, innovator and curator who has been dedicated to putting time and energy into Steemit, while having little to no influence and gaining little to no reward. I'm here for the long run! This delegation could really help me to boost things forward and hopefully benefit my family and those persons and initiatives that Famiglia Curione support.
