Meme Gratitude

Saturday, August 15, 2020

It started here at read cash. I was reading some articles to get my boredom and I saw a contest. A MeMe Contest made by @micropresident

And then everyone started to make one. First I don't know some of the prompts because I know just a little bit about BCH, though I started to search, I still think this will be hard. Then some of the members posted their meme and I wonder why not try. It got extremely popular. Flooding the site for 3 days. And the meme gets personal ended the readcash admin got disappointed. So I was thinking, maybe, it was a mistake. But Sir micropresident wants to have fun and be heard. So he continues the contest at Reddit sub r/commucurrency.

And then the second lockdown here in my region started. Work is suspended, It was just 2 months after the first lockdown. So I was worried, How can we eat and get what we needed.

And then I check the meme contest. Some people felt guilty and drop making it. And some of them continue at Reddit. I think that it's an opportunity to make slight money just for these 14 days of no work. So I proceed to put together my thoughts and made one. Thinking even a few dollars will be a great help. My first tip was 5$ I was so happy. It encourages me to make more. My sense of humour got paid.

And then I continued to make more. Several people got paid too. Someone also won $25, $100 $1000 for the best meme. But I was surprised I got mine.

Sir micropresident bestowed me the money I really needed for this lockdown. I'm so grateful. At first, never thought I will have this amount of money from making a meme.

Sir @micropresident really made this pandemic memorable. I shared a little to my friends.

Most importantly we bought food for these days.

And the best one is that I shared it to my sister whos working and still manage to do online business for her 3 daughters. *I'm so proud of you sis*. She used the money to buy her goods to sell.

Working on one meme is hard. You need a real point to be funny. Sometimes you don't need a lot of words, just the picture itself. And sometimes being funny becomes foolish (below the belt, too personal is not funny. It is if you know the person very well and vice versa. But the meme is for everyone.

This meme contest helps a lot of people you cant imagine. Though sir micropresident never or maybe thought this is an opportunity for us. He manages to continue.

Working to get paid makes you love what you made.

Thank you so much sir micropresident. And sir @MarcDeMesel for the additional funds.

I hope we can continue making this. (Hahaha. I know we need funds. To help more people especially here in the Philippines, whose struggling with the pandemic and the others too.

My gratitude will always be yours.
