In Uganda it's amazing how steemit has been able to still hold it's value among them steemians.
We have witnessed the steem prices go up and down to almost their dips but one thing has always held it's grip.
You see 1usd is about 3690uganda shillings.
3690 uganda shillings buys lunch and breakfast. So that means 1 usd to an average man here gets them both a decent breakfast and lunch.
Before I can tell you how steem has really held a front strong position in hearts of Ugandan steemians, I will tell you that these people have seen a long term potential in the platform.
Despite of the occasional pull backs, i have seen many eager to make as much steem power as possible.
Literally they know in the future(near future by the way) their steem will be more of much influence to the platform.
A few fellow steemians made just over 100sp in just a month ago and i can't elaborate how happy they were despite of the low prices. It's not everyday that you see newbies make that much steempower in such a period of time.

With most full time time steemians being able to sustain by themselves, i guarantee this is very true.
To some countries this can be unbelievable, you know here so many factors play.
So we look into this and realise how this has been a good ride since we joined steemit.
Not all days are going to be so good, some days things don't actually work as hope them to, failed posts, price drops, low visibilty, but despite all those a minimum income is still pulled out at the end of every month.
Actually which is good.
Look at this.
[Some new uganda posts](https://steemit.com/hot/uganda)
Atleast at the end of every month a big number of these people can earn about 400k uganda shillings. Considering there are some good days that an outstanding post of many of these people shines and they earn even more, on addition to that, these people build a long term legacy with steem power.
If you ask me, this is a good deal for most ugandans.
Even those who graduated with good degrees, those who have jobs already, and to those who are unemployed? this looks like life saving.
**The enthusiasm of promoting steemit stems from the fact that we always imagine how many people steemit can help if they only gave it a chance**
At the current steem prices.
Earning 2sbd from every of your post after curation and steempower each day for 30 days puts us above the 400k price point.
Interesting enough, the longer we stay on steemit give it our all and interact, the more the figure will rise.
Not all days are going to be so good and not all days are going to be just average, to me it makes steemit even more interesting.

When we promote steemit, to us it brings alot of possiblities.
Something much more than what we even thought when we had just joined.
Building this up in our country.
And shall we have alot more people writing such posts, testfying the impact of steemit in our country.
I guess things like this can motivate someone there, everywhere regardless.
People from Kenya, Southafrica, Nigeria, Ghana, Tanzania, Rwanda. Have been some big players for steemit here in Africa.
It's about time, promote this to even greater heights.
Let's consider this a beginning.

Thanks for passing by.
As always @tesaganewton
