I have often marveled at the amazing connections that have been forged here on this cyber platform. Steemit is much more than a blogging site. It's being used to transform lives and to connect the digital realm to the physical one! The Steem blockchain has produced the funding to create physical objects and environments!
Take a Look at These Two Examples. They're Incredible!
Example One: Transforming Lives in Nigeria!
Miraculous things are taking place in Nigeria with the opening of Steem Accelerator Hubs. These hubs, which are financed by Steem, provide light, a conducive working environment and free and uninterrupted internet service! Steem entrepreneurs are able to supply young and talented Nigerians with services that the local authorities cannot! How inspiring! Check out @stach or read about their first hub here and about the opening of their second hub here.
What is taking place in Nigeria is exciting and it warms my heart! Image source
Example Two: Bringing New Life to a Neglected Park!
@stach is supported by @sndbox. If you haven't seen what these guys have accomplished check out this post where you can see how these two amazing designers @varonoi and @hansikhouse created an actual physical garden/park funded entirely by Steem!
What an amazing example of collaboration. Image source
My First Look at The Physical SteemCards!
There are many other examples of how Steem has powered real world projects but let me just continue with the saga of my own "silly" little project.
Yesterday the first printed version of Steemcards finally arrived! Most of the personalities featured on the 2017 cards have become "famous" because of Steemit and the development and production of these items has been funded by Steem. In a sense this fun project has become a paying "job" for a graphic artist and writers!
@airmatti and I purchased these samples, had them sent to @papa-pepper and then he relayed the balance off to me. I hand delivered some to @airmatti last evening and also prepared a package for @exyle which @lellabird60 took to the post office this morning! Whew! That's team work Steemit style!
What Other Projects Can be Funded With Steem?

I hope that you enjoyed this article "Projects Uniting The Virtual With The Real World Using Steem Style Teamwork!"
Until next time,
