I was wrong 😪 I can admit it

Just bought some dash, great to see crypto grow to help as many Venezuelan people as possible

David, I'm really excited about your commitment to helping people in Venezuela! Keep on doing what you are doing! You have gone a long way since you had the idea six days ago! I am convinced you will be successful.
I have the impression that the percentage of Venezuelan people on Steemit has also skyrocketed in the last weeks. And I think that Steemit can also help them getting some crypto.
CU, Chris

At last got round to joining steemit and sought out your channel. So pleased can help pay towards your videos, as opposed to corporate youtube!

Keep it up :)

Awesome video again. Great how you support Venezuela and your family!

This video and this idea of helping the world through crypto is amazing, encouraging, and DASH's involvement through their community development fund is brilliant.

I dont own any DASH but im buying some following this video because I love that they have a culture and a heart for growing crypto generally.

Love it!

Upvoted and resteemed.

I'm inspired by your social entrepreneurial spirit. The 🔥 is raging!

Man thanks for all the good effort you are doing for helping people in my country!...
Actually steemit is doing an amazing job at giving Venezuelans crypto adoption, you would be amazed to know how many of us are here and been adopting crypto thanks to this platform!...
I know many people here that are quitting their jobs just to full time blog here... I actually could do the same thing, my actual job as a full time teacher in the UCV (most important Venezuelan university) roughly pays me the equivalent to 1.5 SBD a month...

What about the Billion Hero Campaign? 😉

I did a review on Dash recently, its not all good, although most of my criticism came from their dodgy beginnings. I do think Dash is a decent option for what you are trying to do, Decred and PIVX both have treasury systems you could try and I prefer Decred to Dash. I also think Steem could be quite a good option if you can get your hands on the Steem somehow. Maybe start a "help Venezuela" account and people can go and upvote/donate to it and every time you get a full steem you give it to a new person?

Great initiative, David! You have really good intentions and commitment to help the people in Venezuela!
I wasn't aware about the great potential and what Dash actually does. Now I want to buy some Dash!

I can't imagine how this will turn out but I totally love your attitude about this. Rather than just talking, more people need to get out and DO, and this doesn't just apply to crypto in the slightest.

I'll give you a resteem to my 1500 followers, most of them are minnows here but hopefully it'll get passed on.

Finally steemit account created! woo..

👍

I follow many opinions about crypto, some are good, some are bad. But you have something that others don't have, honesty and a human guy. Those things make the diference for me, even more when you came up with this social economics business plan. Congrats

watching with my new steemit account love this vid

I'm really excited about this!
Did you know that over 100 merchants from Venezuela are already accepting Dash?
Many of those, but not all can be found here: https://discoverdash.com

Dash is also funding the charity organisation Dash Cares. At the moment they are rebuilding houses in the Mexican earthquake region: https://thecryptoshow.com/dashcares/

:D

This is awesome!! I will check it out! Thanks :)

First of all that's awesome!
The only problem I see is that the amount of Steemit Accounts is extremely limited and it would take decades to get all Venezuelans on Steemit. If you want to help everybody a traditional cryptocurrency like Bitcoin and Dash is needed because the number of Wallets for those currencies is unlimited. And the main reason why Dash is better than Bitcoin for Venezuela is that transaction fees are under $0,01.
Do you want to try out Dash? If yes post a Dash address and I can send you some, your music is cool. :D
Here is a list of Dash accepting businesses in Caracas: https://discoverdash.com

Just Discovered d Tube and wondering why youtube is still out there! This is So cool

hey @davidhay, any chance you could do a video of the ICO XDCE?

Great work David. I hope you succeed in helping people in Venezuela. This initiative will definitely help in spreading awareness about the power of cryptocurrencies and thus help in its mass adoption.

I'm not sure crypto can amend the current situation because the situation is the result of international pressure.
But I honestly wish it could help at least some view of poor Venezuelan.

Venezuela is a country that has much to offer, its people are the friendliest of Latin America always willing to help the visitor and leave the name of our country at the top, is our law. In recent years we have gone through a myriad of problems in the economic field, which have affected our economy and our pockets.

When they touch on the issue of increasing 50% the salaries of public employees, and how much emotion has caused in many of our naïve compatriots. Taking into account that it is a compulsive increase and it is like for people to cheer up and take away the impetus to the recall, among other things. This increase becomes salt and water before 1 week, that will generate more inflation still, until a financial restoration of the country and a total sanitation of the economy of the country is made, nothing will be fixed and nothing here will improve.

President Nicolas Maduro increased the salary that was at 136.543Bf to 177.507Bf weekly, our food bonus was also increased from 189.000Bf to 279.000Bf. Resulting in a monthly salary of 456,507Bf taking into account the food bonus and base salary.

This decision was made in November of this year, it would be the fifth increase of 2017, which had the objective of attacking the increase of the products and helping the pocket of the Venezuelan. The truth is that nothing was resolved, the Venezuelan is afraid of the salary increase, it sounds illogical, but every time they increase their salary, all the products go up in price as well.

First, it should lead to a one-to-one exchange rate with the dollar, sinterize and dollarize the economy, reactivate the expropriated companies and privatize them again, stop producing inorganic money, cease the subsidies to the Caribbean nations and countries ideologically related to the regime, From here, more than 40% of the national budget escapes in such aid and corruption, eliminate ministries and political patronage. Does it sound impossible? Until that is not done Venezuela will not recover! As Jesus of Nazareth said: heaven and earth will pass but my words will not fail. While not the productive apparatus of goods and services to counterbalance the aggregate volume of circulating in final demand what we will have, with this increase in wages, is a bestial inflation with stagnation of the productive apparatus. the perfect Storm! Oh, as the ignorant vulgar says, "Real that fucks" in the street.

Inorganic money without real purchasing power the same immediate sensation of fullness felt by those who eat a bag of popcorn and another of cotton candy and put a soda. He feels the domed stomach and thinks he was fed. What he did was fill up and not nourish himself. By the way, he will get sick with everything that is so elementary that I'm sorry to explain it to people with greater and better knowledge than me. If I say it, it is because I am very concerned about these increases in these, that not only change the president, but change the Castro model can correct this crisis with the same men and with the same ideas that produced it. "DESPIERTA VENEZUELA"

We find ourselves stuck in an economic crisis that does not give breathing to an immediate solution, this accompanied by the political problems that generate a slowness to possible solutions. The Opposition and the Officialism have been in charge of general chaos in the Venezuelan population, with their inefficiency in not solving the problems that daily drown the common citizen, they have focused on a fight of children where they do not know who is better or worse. the opposition in the parliamentary elections of December 2015, emerged as winners, thanks to the support that the people gave in giving that vote of confidence to this political group, which for years is promising a change, but instead of working for and for the people, they focused on getting revenge on the ruling party, with absurd decisions and thus lost in a direction that according to them, was to bring a change to the country. Added to that the ruling party using its power took advantage and against attack, removing the opposition from the national assembly.

Unfortunately we are under pressure that does not leave us alone, and every day we wonder if this will improve. We see that the road to change is uphill and we have a long way to go and fight.

Faith and hope is what keeps the Venezuelan standing, as always struggling to move our families forward.

In addition to economic problems, lack of food and medicine. We struggle with the constant lack of our public services such as water, which different sectors of Venezuela last up to 3 months without water, or electricity.
This generates great concern in our communities, affecting in the worst way children who are not to blame for all this disaster.

The problem of sewage that affects the poorest neighborhoods of Venezuela, which bring with them a series of diseases that protect the ordinary citizen from leaving their homes until the problem is solved, which usually takes weeks.

I feel so helpless in this situation, to see how every day we lie in the face with false promises, which only aim to win votes. They forget that people who put them in power, who sacrifice so that their families can have a plate of food on their table.

For many of us, there is still that passion for wanting a change, not only expressing it with words but with echos, taking to the streets to fight for our country, working every day more for the welfare of the entire community.

Thank you very much for the Apyo, may God bless you! @davidhay

Hi David,
I have been thinking about your appeal and am willing to help if I can.
I have 2 ideas both of which are probably not practical but here goes.

If people use the Brave browser they earn BAT tokens and can use these to reward bloggers on youtube. I recently sent some BAT tokens to you for the good information/analysis you put out. Could you encourage poeple to use the Brave browser for all their internet use and then send their BAT token rewards to you who can then convert the BAT tokens into Dash or other crypto and then help people with that income stream?

Secondly, there is new crypto out called Dbrain which is aimed at helping give an income to people in developing countries who live off 2 dollars a day. Could this be included in the financial workshop that is given to people in Venuzuela?

As the webiste points out,''Do simple tasks on image labelling and validation, get apid instantly in Dbrain coins (DBR) and withdraw your earnings anytime''.

I had a go at one of the labelling tasks and earned 62 cents for 20 minutes work. To people in the West that would not be worth getting out of bed for but if you are living off 2 dollars a day then that would reaaly help.

https://dbrain.io/#platform

Anyway, those are a couple of ideas.
Kind Regards
Saltycat
