I MADE IT OUT OF THE INITIAL DELEGATION PHASE....

Thanks to the Steemit community I powered up enough last night to get out of the initial delegation.  

I know it's not a big deal, 

but when you are trying to build this without investing cash and have very little time to devote to the platform, it's at least a milestone.  Not to mention I generally suck at creating content(and taking pictures) which is the only way to start from scratch on here.  

I wanted to give something back to a couple people I have met on the platform who have helped me out along the way.  My upvotes still doesn't count for much so I decided to sponsor a few people for SBI shares just to say thank you, it's still not much but it's a couple cents a week perpetually.  

So a big thank you to @janton @hippie-witha-gun @rudyardcatling  @papa-pepper  

I don't know all of the ins and outs of the SBI stuff yet but it may take a couple of days to process.  This is not to say there were not many others, but I ran out of Steem, literally.  One more shout out @rentmoney I will catch you next time. 

"THANK YOU ECONOMY" SBI Contest

I think  Gary Vaynerchuk coined the term Thank You Economy and wrote a book about it (you should get it and read it.)  Just trying to give credit where credit is due, there's actually an account with his name @garyvee. (I wonder if it's really him) Basically the thought is you Give Give Give Give and you will eventually get what you want.  

Zig Ziglar said it something like this "If you help enough people get what they want, you can have what you want" 

On to the Contest Rules 

I don't have a lot of followers so the odds on this one should be pretty high.

I'll keep this as simple as I can.

• Leave a comment on this post.
• In the comment tag someone who has helped you or influenced you the most on Steemit use the @coinsandchains format.
• Then briefly tell us why you chose them.

That's all you have to do.  (upvotes, restreems and follows are appreciated though)

One thing, please do not tag bots or alt accounts.

The Prizes and Winner Selection:

One comment will be randomly selected by number generator.

The account making the comment and the account tagged in the comment will receive one SBI share each.  If I can figure out how to gift sponsor them I will do that, if not I will sponsor both.  

I will also give a upvote to each valid entry, but that does not amount to much.  upvote your own comment if you would like, or if you have a @dustsweeper account it might help.

What is SBI?

 I don't want to make the post too long but you can learn more by visiting @steembasicincome.  It seems like a pretty cool project with several people working on it. I think one of the main sponsors is @josephsavage 

THE MOST IMPORTANT THING SAY  "THANK YOU" TO SOMEONE

Thank you Steemit Community, and Good Luck.
