Hehe well as you know, it's not about the donations or upvotes, it's about the price of STEEM. We could each donate 100 STEEM per week, but still lose 10% progress, if the price continued to fall the way it did for the past 2 years. If the price continues to recover, we'll finish the project. If it doesn't, we won't. I wish we could credit our voting power or donations, but really, that almost doesn't matter at all. We saw this for the past year, when many of us donated 250 STEEM each, but in the same week progress fell, because the price dropped so badly.
Don't you see Edgar's response from yesterday?
Have a great week!
Thanks for the reply @drutter and I def. understand the chuckle, I am an eager beaver to see this accomplishment through and I guess an a little overly optimistic. Hopefully Steem can hang on to most of these gains so that we do continue to progress rather that step back. Regardless of which way we go this week, this project will be completed, even if I have to give up all my future payouts to make this happen.
I did see Edgar respond, and truly feel for him and his family because the situation over there just seems so unrealistic for 2020 (or at least for those of us in more fortunate situations). I wish all people in power somehow empathized with those in weaker or worse situation in order for those in power to rule with the interest of them in mind, and not what most of those in power currently do and that is nurture and protect those already in power and wealth.
Hopefully this project can alleviate some of the pain Edgar and his family are going through right now.
Take care @drutter Well wishes for you and yours and may life, God, the Universe, Karma, Buddha or whatever positive force you believe always be looking over you.
Thanks man. I have nothing against optimists... in fact I agree with them some of the time! ;P It's a good frame of mind.
Thanks for thinking about Edgar. I was wondering this week, what happens if the Chinese virus ends up in that part of the world? Could the lack of proper water, sanitation, and health care lead to an illness spreading quickly? Perhaps the virus isn't adapted to warm climates, who knows. But either way, I'd love to get this clean water flowing and Edgar's situation improved before we find out. Cuz who knows if it's totally under control now, or not. Hard to tell with the news so poor nowadays.
All the best back at you!
Hoping for the best but it is also hard to believe anything any govt. says. Stay vigilant I guess, and I'd even start to prepare for at least a 2 week self quarantine just in case this does get out of hand. This will at least buy some time without having to go out for essentials, again just in case this truly does become pandemic. Take care @drutter
