Passing on the Steem Torch #241

The other day I was passed the Steem Torch by @clixmoney.  The Torch was to the value of 926 steem.  While passing the torch to me @clixmoney explained in his video that he chose me because he trusted me.  Awesome.  Thank you @clixmoney

Today I passed on the torch.  930 steem was sent to @nickyhavey in trust that he will carry this touch and pass it on in good faith.  Proof of trust is in full swing on the steem blockchain.

It all started 9 months ago.  I was count number 241, let see if we can reach the target originally set of 1337.  To find out full details about steem torch do take a read of this post by @geekgirl https://steemit.com/steem/@geekgirl/steem-torch-social-experiment-on-steem

and you can read the Steem Torch Rules at

@nickyhavey if you have any questions, just ask.  Guard the torch well keeper.  steem trusts you to do the right thing.

Yes many questions have come to my mind about this, most, if not all, are variants of "wtf is going on" and "why are people sharing pictures of me carrying torches again?" 🤣

I'll have a full read up later on for the rules etc when I get back from work. Just don't ask me to put anything in a spreadsheet, you know it will be unnecessarily complicated haha!

did you say spreadsheets :-)

I have the very place for you to go now with your questions - a new community right here on steem...so new I cant wait for you to have a problem :-)

Good luck with the torch, enjoy the weekend

I literally passed it on before you could say "STEEM torch" 😂

Interesting, thanks for the link to the community. Will check it out, liking the way this is all shaping up!

It's so scarey being trusted with this much Steem. I got it earlier this year and it was just over 500 Steem, I was so worried someone would hack into my wallet and steal it that I pass it on immediately the next day!!!

Hehehe I got rid of it fast mysrlf

I didn't hang around too long, it's already been passed along 😁

Don't blame you! Nice to be trusted, but it's a hell of a responsibility!!!

I did start sending out a few "feelers" to see who wanted to carry on the torch. Otherwise I'd have put it in to savings for safe keeping until I found someone.

Thankfully, I know a lot of trustworthy people 😊

All it's like a game of hot patato

Well done. I'm glad you have people you trust in steem as well. ☺

I had it ages ago. Good to see it is still going around. Would anyone dare to keep it before the end?

Would anyone dare to keep it before the end?

@steevc, I guess I could answer that question right away. I'm afraid it just would take someone who send the torch to me after these Christmas holidays when almost each one of us are kind of broke to know that for sure. LoL

It's a game of trust, I do hope no one will dare keep it
