@dragosroua is doing a challenge for the month of May. He is giving one thing to post about everyday for the whole month. I missed the first day and I am sure I will miss other days unfortunately. I like the challenge and that it gives every something to make a worthy post about.

In Dragosroua's post he said he would keep and power up 50%, he would power up an additional 35% and delegate it to worthy causes. The other 15% he would trade for other tokens. That is a fair and commendable thing to do I would say. 

What would I do if I woke up and I was gifted 1000 Steem?

I would make a small idea I had the other day come to life.  People who know me in real life know that I am very giving. Even people who have known me here for a while know that I am very giving. I have given away SBD, I have paid to have a free little library built, and I have paid people SBD's to donate books to their local little free libraries. I wish I could do more of course, and if I had a bonus 1000 Steem I could spend without being negatively affected by losing it at all.

So I would take 400 Steem and I would give it away to everyone who participated in an imaginary challenge I hosted. A decentralized, open source stress test on the Steem blockchain. I want to propose one day where I can give away this steem to people who make posts, comments, and transfers on a certain day. I was inspired to try this when thinking about blocktivity's chart showing only a fraction of a percent of the Steem blockchain utilized. I feel like if we as a community had a day where we tried to make as many transactions in a day, It would be awesome to watch and it would show the capability of the Steem blockchain to more future investors and users. We would need to make a substantial amount of transactions to make other people in the crypto space take notice and realize. My goal would be to hit 5 million transactions over a 24 hour period compared to the current record of just over 2 million. With 400 Steem to give away I would be much more capable of doing this. Without it I would need a big  group of influential Steem users to help get people to take part in it. Which I am more than likely incapable of rounding up.

I would spend another 200 Steem on hosting some charitable challenges or donating it for others to host the charitable challenges.  @inphiknit was doing charity for steem posts when I first came and I really like the concept of being able to help the less fortunate and to possibly be rewarded for it, for doing the right thing anyway.

I would take another 200 Steem and offer it to my friends on other social media sites and in real life. I would divide it between whoever I talked into joining. 

That leaves 200 Steem still. I guess with that I would utilize the more legit bidbots. I would upvote other peoples posts into the hot page. To help get some unestablished authors more views when they deserve it. I would upvote posts that encourage discussion, because good comments, and good discussion are one thing that is hard to find on Steem. Luckily I have found a good group of people on here, my tribe.. who enjoy the conversations we have, or they keep having them anyways!

What would you do if you were gifted 1000 Steem? Take part in @dragosroua's challenge by checking his blog and finding the post regarding the rules, then instead of commenting here make your own post and share it on his post on the same subject for the day. If you don't want to take part in the challenge, feel free to share what you would do below!

Woot woot,
