Who wants one?
Blogging and curating for crypto is now an amazing reality. I think that a lot of us are really enjoying this incredible opportunity that steemit has given us. In a recent post I shared about how this opportunity can really empower people to get ahead in this life and break the bondage of paycheck to paycheck economics. I illustrated the point with this excellent image of @bluerthangreen.
UPGRADE
I thought it was a great illustration, but @canadian-coconut had this to say:
I LOVE that picture!
But now you've made me feel like a beggar or something! ha ha
I might just have to make up a sign like that and sit on the street corner for a while myself ...
Of course I agree with her on the picture, but I don't want to make anyone feel like a beggar, so I decided to upgrade!
I figured that some t-shirts may get the point across just as well. I figured out my basic concept and then made the prototype.
BEHOLD THE SHIRT
If you have been watching my "ADVICE FROM PAPA" video series then you have already had a sneak preview of the shirt in action. Mine seems to be working just fine, so now I will hand-make 10 more shirts in this extremely limited edition run. I have already chosen 5 steemians to receive some, so I actually only have five more to allocate.
5 DOWN - 5 TO GO
These shirts will be handcrafted in typical @papa-pepper style. I will personally take the time to make each and every shirt, prior to addressing the packages and paying the postage. I will ship them to anywhere in the world.
Here are the first five steemians that I preselected.
I should already have mailing addresses for @barrydutton and @teamsteem. The other users can notify me of a valid shipping address on https://steemit.chat. You will also need to notify me of your t-shirt size.
5 TO GO!
So, what about the remaining 5 t-shirts? If you have a deep, burning desire to own your very own, limited edition, “WILL BLOG FOR CRYPTO – STEEMIT.COM” T-shirt in your own size handcrafted for you by @papa-pepper himself, then there is only one thing that you need to do.
Reply to this post with the reason why you want one. I’ll check back after about 48 hours and choose five winners based on their (your) comments below. Then I’ll take some time over the next week or so to make some shirts for you and send them to you, wherever in the world you may be.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
proof-of-willingness-to-blog-for-crypto
Until next time…
Don’t waste your time online, invest it with steemit.com
I never got my shirt from you last year so this one caught my eye and you know I will wear the ___ out of that --- I never saw my name or tag, on this post, so I had to see this post!!
I just was in the feed catching up and saw this title --- we are gathered over at the every-weekendly
#SteemitCampfire
I would like to donate $5 SBD to this cause, either to you for helping us out, or to help one more person get a shirt, anything you want.
I would have more to give you but the post I did this week to help Sommer out on Steemit being new as a user I was encouraging, was flagged into oblivion by Bernie and most of his accounts, so that killed my 3rd ever post to make $100 -- down to $2.
I will be SO EXCITED for this shirt and 3 of us in Canadastan in this list will rock them
Please sign mine or put something on the back from you, if you have the time, I will treasure it always man!!!
Your $5 SBD donation have moved it up to six winners. I'll still pick the five, but we now have a "BARRY DUTTON WILDCARD" pick!
Let me know who else wins!
Maybe I will do a post, link to this one, borrow a couple of your photos if OK'd by your or I go in that direction to keep the branding consistent and try to increase...

Thank you @papa-pepper! Those shirt are awesome!
3 Canadastan winners! I am so excited.
You are welcome. You'll have a whole package coming!
That's exciting!
Honestly, I would give you the shirt off my back, but it's not your size...
Part 2 of this amazing GAW will be live today on my page in a few mins. in conjunction with @papa-pepper Enterprises Inc. LLC
lol
I definitely rock one of your shirts around. Better yet, the purpose of my comment is to ask you a question. Could I make a shirt like this with your permission? I silk screen shirts and hope to have my equipment set up in a few weeks ready in time for summer. I really like the slogan and wanted to make one for myself, not for profit or to rip off your idea. I simply think its awesome and wanted to design (i do graphic design) the same slogan something similar. Only with your permission of course if not I understand 110%. Awesome shirt! Steem on!
Make as many as you want and do whatever you want with them.
PERMISSION FULLY GRANTED.
Thanks!
I put up a silk screening bio if you wanted to take a look, it's longer than usual post from me but a short read. It's my most recent post Thanks :)
I LOVE the shirt! I want one because changes are coming in the near future that will allow me to start posting on Steemit regularly, and rhis would be a great way to start off!!!
Very cool and good to hear...
Thanks! Im looking forward to some of the changes that are about to happen!
I know I've been here for less than two weeks, but I've already received more than $12 in payouts and I post and create original content.
Steemit presents an opportunity for me to contribute to our finances (I'm disabled and unable to work).
I'd love to have one of those shirts as a physical, real life reminder of the hope for a better future that Steemit offers. The last several years have been bleak, emotionally crippling, and my life was in actual danger due to our financial situation. (If you want to know more of the details, I'm willing to tell you privately.) I really need all the hope and reminders of said hope that I can get.
Best of luck to everyone! It's really awesome of you to do this!
Wow, that is a reason...
Maybe I over-shared? If so, I'm sorry.
No, not at all. Don't worry.
Congratulations @papa-pepper!
Your post was mentioned in my hit parade in the following categories:
I want one because i really want to get the word out there. People where i live would and could really benefit from SteemIt. Thanks for the great post and donation to the community.
You are very welcome. Good reason...
I was considering doing my own but couldn't come up with a good idea. I would be more proud to wear your idea.
Wow, thank you!
Steem in the .77 range is an investment in my eyes, You see your value decrease, but I just see more money, We got this bro. Like the T-Shirt!
WE DO GOT THIS!!!
Thanks @tfeldman!
I want one simply because it's frigging awesome. No better reason than that. :-)
Maybe not, but I'll be the judge of that...
I want one because I want one :D that's my reason :D
Wow. I believe you...
Good stuff.
Thank you always @virtualgrowth!
Welcome @papa-pepper!
:) Classic.....schwing!
That's a good reason!
I would love a shirt because then I could spread the word about Steemit!!!
That is a good reason!
Nice! I got abducted and experimented on for crypto. :)
Shocking.
LOL
Did 'they' make you drink potions?
Yea it was crazy.
Then I guess you are ready for Season 3.
The side effects may be a surprise to everyone :)

Part 2 of the amazing GAW will be live today on my page in conjunction with @papa-pepper Enterprises Inc. LLC
LOL!!
I'll check it out.
You sure did!
Great idea to get the WORD out... most people only know about Bitcoin, if even that... WE need to raise the awareness of STEEM ( $$ Make Money $$ ) and of the Huge Opportunities that are here NOW.
I'm brand new, only been on Steemit 9 days ( and have much to learn), but have read many, many posts and feel very LUCKY to be HERE... and part of the STEEMIAN Community.
Those that get in now at around $1.00 or less at the moment, will reap rewards... AND not just financial rewards. This IS an incredible Community and has the potential to be a dynamic, global GAME CHANGER and everyone has a chance to participate, no matter who or where they live...
There are NO Borders, NO exclusions...
AND WE have some incredible people here on Steemit like ( put in no particular order of importance ) :
@aggroed @kingscrown @teemsteem @doitvoluntarily @virtualgrowth @timsaid @steemcleaners @surfermarly @kyriacos @stephenkendal @sgtreport @ozchartart @jesta @the-alien @sweetsssj @thecryptofiend @meesterboom @cryptoctopus @kaylinart @furion @acidyo @ericvancewalton @good-karma @schattenjaeger @curie @andrarchy @jrcornel @ats-david @steemvoter @theprophet0 @b0y2k @donkeypong @hanshotfirst @pharesim @jerrybanfield @kevinwong @papa-pepper @decentralizd @razvanelulmarin @clayop @voronoi @nanzo-scoop @bacchist @wingz @anyx @knozaki2015 @leesunmoo @steemsports @infovore @elyaque @nextgen622 @lukestokes @rok-sivante @klye @ausbitbank @jacor @thisisbenbrick @jejujinfarm @barrydutton @calaber24p @dragonslayer109 @terrycraft @exyle @joseph @pfunk @marketreport @penguinpablo @sirwinchester @ash @ned @dan
(( Please forgive me if I didn't put Your name into this partial list... Thank You ALL !! ))
THANK You @papa-pepper... GREAT Idea !!!
Aw man, you are too kind, you are new to us but we love you already, you have been doing great on here!
Thank You Barry... and still have much to learn.
Also, apparently Changelly had a minor hack involving their support team AND that is why it took so long for Changelly to reply back to me.
Thanks Again Barry for Your Support, it means a lot to me...
Oh it is NP. I had a lot of support and help when I was new and I really struggled -- I am glad to help people back.
Good points!
I want one cause it's a cool shirt and nobody believes I'm into crypto!
If you've got a shirt then they'll have to believe you. Good reason....
There are many other things Im willing to Steem for as well. Id love a sleeveless denim vest (show me a vest with sleeves on it..) with the saying "will get Steemy for crypto" written in turquoise rhinestone! ...obviously feel free to add as much loose, dangling fringe to the vest as you see fit.
Wow, you sure dream big. Also, that almost sounds like something that GARY GLITTER would wear.
LOL. YES!!! That is awesome. Im actually laughing as I write this. That was rich. I've never heard of Gary Glitter, but you hit the nail on the head, sir.
Firstly, this just opened up so many new possibilities of ridiculousness via clothing.
Secondly, how did people get away with dressing like this? Styles are cyclical though, so this could be popular at some point again.
I think the footage of the screaming fans was actually stolen Beatles footage and edited in. Otherwise, we are in more trouble than I originally thought.
Haha, brilliant
Thank you @corvo!
Becasue im cold and dont have a shirt
Poor guy... that might work.
I want one, if I dont get one I will cry lol nice of you to do this,
Well I wouldn't want to make you cry...
I am glad to hear that as i can make awful mess, very noisy and go on and on and on
Oh no!
I will have a right tantrum
Nice shirt!
Thanx!
Oh!!! I am honored. This is a great idea!
Thank-you so much @papa-pepper.
I will PROUDLY wear my new shirt.
chat with you soon ...
3 Canadastan Crypto winners in one post! We are taking over lol
You were partially involved in the inspiration process, so you're in!
That's awesome.
I’ve been here for like a month and I’m thrilled about the platform. I think that sharing the knowledge about Steemit is vital and with such a shirt you attract people to the idea even more. In case of winning the shirt I wouldn’t probably get to wear it on my upcoming presentation about Steemit (since it’s like in a week), but I would DEFINITALLY use it in the following ones! I want to show the people that Steemit is the Ultimate social platform up to date.
Well said. We will see!
sweet shirt!
Thanks Mate!
Nice! I want one so I can delay laundry a extra week! (read: so I can help get the word about steemit out there)
Very good reason, and the second thing you said was neat too.
I'd like to have one because it might help breaking the ice when I talk about steemit to my friends and strangers alike. If I was wearing a shirt about it that might be enough of a motivator for them to listen and check it out for themselves.
Very valid point...
Hahaha man, you're killing it. Just saying.
I won a shirt!
YES!!!!
Niceeeeee! Now you gotta take the 365 days same shirt challenge where you can't remove the shirt from your body for an entire year. ARE YOU IN, BARRY!? hahaha
Actually, a bit about me...
I vote with my wallet and only wear clothes now most of the time, that promotes things I believe in.
Ie, Organic foods, Save the Bees, middle class labour support and awareness clothing to support local jobs, support local radio like CIUT in my area east of Toronto, environmental stuff, clean water stuff, no fluoride stuff and I really wanted to start adding a few Crypto type shirts to that now big time!
You should see my next post, this is a great time to be posting on steemit.
I'll try to put it up in the next hour or so.
I'll always take a peek! I'm making a post tomorrow about sending out EOS stickers for free. I have a little stack of assorted ones from the conference that I was handing out to folks. Going to be mailing them to people for free since the post will probably cover costs of stamps and envelopes. Such an insane platform we all live on!
I would love to have one not just because I love the concept of steemit but because it could show other people in my country a legit additional source of income. And lets be honest it's gonna look real cool :D
A source of income and chance to look cool? Sounds good to me.
Hi5 @papa-pepper !!
Hi5!
I want one because im already talking to everyone about crypto and especially STEEM and Steemit, so it would add another layer to the impromptu presentations im giving to everyone that i won this shirt on Steemit!
Hmmm... winning a beard contest and a shirt?...
Yeah that might be pushing it a bit, lol. Ive also won a pipe, a peice of art, and Steemfest tickets... but i could wear this prize! And I would! Often!
Right, I remember some of those!
Who's the BIG winner?
Man you are every where! I love it so much content so much love! love all the damn contests you do for steemit community!
Thanks very much. I am everywhere.
I so want one, because most people I come across are either on Facebook or Twitter, (or neither and have no idea what crypto is...probably think it's another planet) and they would have to ask me what it means.
So,... I can spread the word and bring a little steem into their lives! 😀
Oh, please please please..... Steemit rocks!
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
Three pleases? Hmmm...
Oh, I'll up that to a million, and one HUGE PRETTY P-L-E-A-S-E.
LOL!
I want one because steem is about free speech! and I would love to spread that word.
Right on @raymonjohnstone I just wrote a blog post about free speech and steemit.
Wicked Ill be sure to check it out :)
You would wear that a ton for sure RJ. I know it
Darn straight bro :)
Good point. Also, would you like to earn a little more easy STEEM?
I very much would, hit me with deets bro :)
Will do, it may be more work for less pay this time, but I'll get you the details.
Aight wicked.
you are a man of many talents, it will be my pleasure to have known the next Rockefeller or Kennedy on his way up.
steem on Papa
Lol, thanks!
LOL Len.
Great reply my man
I want one because I would like to advertise and promote that I am part of a community that gives people the tools to create an income and promote their inner passion. I feel that you never should chase the money - you chase the job. This is a platform that, for me personally, is one people can thrive on. SOOOOOOOO.... I want to rock the shirt in Oil Country so people around me know there is more in life than their immediate surroundings- potential is borderless....
Great reply Tammy.
Oil country- are you in Canadastan also??
Thanks so much! I am in Williston, ND- the Bakken!!! It's wild- I have lived here for 6 years and JUST realized how vital Canada is in Oil. I am in construction/real estate (LOL). I am on the Bakken Shale. It is a crazy place!
I am in Real Estate!
LOL
Followed you!!!
I am a bit of a hippie in many regards, I was pretty active in the Standing Rock stuff online and in ENV. projects and activism in my town.
If you search my name + Civil Disobedience you will see what I mean lol
I am on the fence on the Standing Rock... I am a North Dakota resident...ugh it was the reality of what they did and how they destroyed that area has cost $1M to clean up.... but awareness.. it is a fine line. I will look you up.. I TOO am a hippie and I love it .... so glad we are Steemit Buddies!
#SteemitCampfire
is ongoing, come and drop by tonite or this weekend!
How long is your hair, my hippie friend, mine might be longer now
LOL
WOW! Very good reason! We will see if it is good enough...
The kiwis want a t-shirt obviously.
Why?
Because we will blog for crypto :-)
Hell, I'll blog for ice cream or potato chips or..... or.... 400 STEEM! hehehe
I think that armed with such an awesome shirt, we will be unstoppable in the next survival challenge. So watch out other teams, we're gonna be back!!
Good reason! Thanks...
With steem going to $100+ like Bitcoin, Ethereum and Dash etc. it would be fitting to be properly attired for my new found status in society. I would prefer mine in a smoking jacket with embroidered Steemit logo on the breast pocket, matching Meerschaum pipe from Turkey and silk ascot. See picture below.
Deal, if you win, that'll be it!
meep
Ca. we just send you steem and you give is a shirt?
Perhaps I'll have to offer up a #steemgig along that line....
I really love this! I want one @papa-pepper t-shirt so bad because @ballinconscious has not only one but two of your shirts and I get a bit jelly whenever he wears them...LOL! Plus you already have my address 📮📪📦😀
Excellent reasons...
Lol!
I would rather see the shirts go to some newer Steemians, help them see the beauty of Steemit and spread the word! Great idea!
Bravo @papa-pepper.
Noted. Thanks @digicrypt!
It will be an honor for me to wear one of your shirts, @papa-pepper, specially one with no spelling error!
So you don't want a stemit shirt?
Yes, I want one! Please, please, please!
Hmmm.... 3 pleases?... Might be hard to beat.
Sitting on the bench waiting for me jersey. Put me in coach :-D
Being a local musician. lots of people know, see and touch base with me regularly.
For example: Tomorrow I will be at 'Trapper Days' the local Memorial Day Celebration, Rodeo, Country Music Show and Dance. Usually they get 2-3000 peeps throughout the all day and evening fun.
If I can fit it in my schedule I will compete in the beard contest too.
I believe you will agree; I will get full coverage and lots of mileage out of this walking, and me talking billboard. Suit me up coach!
Very compelling reason... plus a John Fogarty reference....
Yes it is, now that you mention it. Originally unintended, however "I'm ready to play"
Good call @papa-pepper.
Now thinking "Rollin on the River", "Big wheel keep on turning"; powered by steem, of course- a biased mod of Proud Mary lol
Very nice! LOL - I did see CCR Revisited once...
Forget everything, I really liked that street pic of yours!!
Thanks!
LOL, a reply after 3 months!! What are you doing on this old blog of yours!!!!
Making the last few shirts!
I want one to blow my grandmothers mind that its possible to get "paid to do nothing" in 2017. She is 87 and is pretty impressed with the whole idea from what I've explained to her..
I live in Silicon Valley and am going to be going to a lot of Ethereum/Bitcoin/Blockchain meetings in the next few months. Hoping to continue to spread the word about the best crypto out there! Actually designed and bought a few of these:
earlier this year and a few of my buddies at school wanted one as well. I think they ended up checking out the site as a result of this.
Either way, definitely need some of my own swag before I attend the North American Blockchain Expo Nov 29-30 in Santa Clara this Fall. Prime time to rep Steem and spread the word.
Steem on!
^^ If I had a vote ^^
@papa-pepper the reason i need it is to be as dope as you !!!!!
So I heard @barrydutton donated a fiver and got a wildcard pick. I feel like he needs two wild card picks. If I send a fiver your way, you think you can handle that increased production?
Pretty COOL looking shirt!
The fact that I only have about 4 shirts notwithstanding, I WILL blog for Crypto... anytime, anyplace, anywhere (isn't that the same???) And @barrydutton has more shirts than me!!!
Nice reason!
Gotta tell the truth!
Papa it will be the first one on planet Africa, most folks don't know what Crypto is but they surly will google Steemit. com :-)
