The first ever Steemit & Crypto currency race team!
Yo Steemit!!
Wow, how far has this platform come in so short a time?! We are not creating ripples.. we are becoming a tidal wave that must be having all social media quaking to the core!
So I was laying in bed last night (not a nice thought for most people haha but bear with me) thinking about #steemit and how it really has the power to change everything. All it needs is for us to pick up the baton and run with it, spread the word & shout from the rooftops!
So as I was laying there thinking...
it suddenly dawned on me... I could combine the two things I love and spread the word at the same time! I could start my very own #steemit race team! wow!
Ok so a little background on me...
My name is Lee (b0y2k as known here) and I am a volunteer member for a local schoolboy Motocross club. I started racing with Mid Sussex Motocross Club many years ago and got talking to the other volunteers that run this non profit schoolboy club. They run race days for kids from the ages of 4 to 18, they also have 2 adult groups which are known as Adult A (18+ very fast haha) and Adult B (older guys, dads, battle worn hehe) which allow the fathers to ride and still support and teach their kids.
So after meeting a few committee members, I decided to offer my time up to set them up and run a website for info and to update the kids championship points. I have done this for quite a few years now and it has helped move the club onwards massively. I have helped from simply incorporating twitter to linking the the post race data provided by the mylaps transponder system they run on their bikes. Its been a real pleasure to see how the club has grown and is still growing.
So anyway that's what got me thinking of ways I could spread the word about #steem and combine it somehow with my other passion of #motocross.
That's it!! Eureka :)
Factory Steemit!
I could put forward the proposal for #steemit members to back me starting up my own #steem factory race team!
This is not a new idea #sponsorship I know... you have all heard of the major players even if you know nothing of #motocross. Red Bull, KTM, Monster Energy, Kawasaki... the list is exhaustive. We have the tools here to start something that could grow to rival these companies. Just like #steemit is small (compared) to them now, they all started out somewhere like this and as you know yourselves promotion in the right places is EVERYTHING!
So the plan is for me to startup Cryptos first race team!
#factorysteemit
I can fly the flag for #steemit and Crypto as a whole! Most people I talk to at the races have no idea what a Bitcoin is, or what Crypto Currency is doing to change the way we think about money. What better place to broadcast this but to the kids of the next generation!
They have grown up with Facebook documenting their every move. All it would take is to show them the revolution that is #steemit and they would 'get it' instantly!
With the people of #steemit behind me, I could then move this project forward. Sponsoring other riders, the kids that could really benefit from a helping hand in life, and show them opportunities on and off the track. All I need is a few seconds of your time and a few clicks of your mouse to make a MASSIVE impact!
I am a designer and a modest front end coder so I am happy to put my own spare time into designing the graphics, kit and anything else that would be needed to carry the message. I will do updates on the project here on #steemit and would be more than happy to give everyone we decide to sponsor #airtime on #steemit and a nice #introduceyourself as well. The pics here are just rough ideas so please don't judge them too harshly. I'm just throwing ideas around at this stage to see what kinda thing works and get a few ideas going.
I really can see this project doing some amazing things not just for #crypto and #steemit but for the next generation! They are going to inherit our choices and our decisions... Lets give them and us a running start :)
So #steemit... I can't do this without you...
ARE YOU WITH ME? :)
I don't think that I am going to vouch for Steemit, but for Steem. Those are very different things. Steemit holds now 54% of all steems. That is about >$150 millions in value. Don't sure that there is any meaning in promoting centralized web service and US company at the expense of decentralized network. I'd recommend to move your focus to Steem promotion. Also that is my reason for downvoting
dont think thats a reason for down voting myself... be constructive.. So you want to take momentum away from the project? Thats all down voting this will do. please explain to me how taking money from a productive project that benefits people is a good thing? By all means push the information forward but dont take money way from the people we are trying to help...
You made more in one Post than anyone I found on Steemit to date... Great job...
@pocketechange
Thanks @pocketechange, it was a great response i agree. I used the money to run a competition and i gave away 10 custom team shirts i designed. I have put alot of time into the project since then and things are going well.
Trust me this is not even close to the top earning post! There is a famous makeup post that earned ALOT more, here
also the dollarvigilante did very well.
here
Hopefully you will get a response like this soon :) good luck
I think that's an excellent point, and people tend to confound the two.
Should be made clear that steemit is a client implementation.
Hey welcome aboard! Wow really nice idea!
I would be also happy to be of assistance on the design part with your motocross and car etc .. guess i'm able to help making motocross suited STEEM designs
taking the steemit community members into the project also doesnt sound like a badidea at all
Great idea guys :)
Wow! That moment must have felt like a mark of evolution. Using Steemit as a Kickstarter for Steemit. Brilliant idea and strategy.
I'm sure Steemit as a community will make this happen and support you. Yes, I am with you. We are with you.
:) Cheers @isteemit
it kinda feels like a win win to me :)
Cheers :)
It, indeed is a win-win.
it seems we just start unlocking the potentials of steemit
This is just te begining @ozmaster :) trust me!
Rock&Roll! i used to dream to be a motorcross biker. I'm glad to see a dad working out this angle with the Steemit! Namaste :)
I like motocross! and plus steemit, dream come true :)
:)
Yes...I'll be a proponent of mixing steemit with our everyday activities. Especially if it involves the next generation. Sounds like a eureka moment.
A revolution just like your name. ;)
steemit becoming the crypto kickstarter:D
yes :)
Seriously was! This could really work! I have been up since 4:30am thinking about this haha
hey @b0y2k i made several steem branded items: logos, wallpaper and now stickers. i will even send the stickers for free to the user: https://steemit.com/steemit/@dunja/get-free-steemit-stickers
your project sounds great, if you need any help with design, logo, branding i would love to help you out there. i'am a designer by profession and could definitely help you out there! :)
I like the bikes
Thanks for the offer @dunja! I will drop you a line once things get off the drawing board :)
Stickers look great!
Seems it's working already... (5.6k in 9 hours)... good luck with your plan...
Thanks @alexgr, will take alot more as alot gets locked back onto the system but dont take that as a negative! Its only the start and it's great to see such support already! :)
Yes,boy2k
I hear you will support your cause
Remember bullionstackers 👍👍👍👍👍
This reeks of marketing clickbait. Eureka would be the actual creation of steemit as a platform.
You too spooky
We are all here
It's not marketing clickbait @spookypooky, follow me as the updates flow in and hopefully i can show you my vision :)
Will do boy2k
Follow you
I'll pick you up on the offer, I look forward to the results. Do forgive my harshness in reality checking posts and statements.
wow amazing initiative @b0y2k
merchandising looks great! i'm with you on that!
Awesome stuff there
Vlad
How about teaming up?
When I see you I upvote you n support your other posters
nice :) kinda reminds me of iRobot
wow )))
the helmet looks comfortable with steem logo and colour
early designs @piapiao but a good base to work from :)
Wow! U've really put a lot of thought and effort into making this a reality! Hope it all works out for you!
Thanks @madnation. I've been thinking about this non stop since it came into my head haha. Sleep... i think i remember what that was :)
