Steemit has been mostly marketed to people as a social media platform that pays people to post and curate content, we at Bluewaves believe that this predominant description does not fully describe what the STEEM Blockchain has to offer

Though the STEEM Blockchain has seen additional developments like MangoSteem by @mynameisbrian, D Tube by @heimindanger, and D Sound by @prc, we believe that we still have a long way to go in harnessing the full power of the STEEM Blockchain

Bitcoin is currently the most popular cryptocurrency, and we believe its resilience and success has been made possible by the huge worldwide community backing it, and we believe that STEEM can achieve that in the coming years.

The blockchain is meant to offer liberty and wealth to all and none of its technologies embodies these characteristics like STEEM. The STEEM blockchain is not only a place to post quality content, it is a place that will spark a revolution worldwide.

We at Blue Waves believe in challenging the Status quo when it comes to the economy and people empowerment, we believe everyone has a voice and also has an active role in shaping their future

Core Values

The Core Values of the Blue Waves Project are qualities which every Steemian potentially possess and these qualities are expressly mirrored by the STEEM Blockchain

Intelligence

We at Bluewaves believe that everyone is Intelligent in their own way, as our usernames are different so is our capabilities and talents, and we believe that every single person have something to offer

> Eveyone has Something to Offer @surpassingoogle

Integrity

The very nature of the STEEM blockchain ensures integrity, everyone actions can be monitored and the open nature of the STEEM blockchain ensures this, everyone will be imbibed to emulate this level of transparency in whatever they are doing

Making false claims or misleading people will do You no good, Let your yes be yes and our no be no

Generosity

The STEEM blockchain is a gift to Mankind, and anyone who wants to participate in it must imbibe it’s very nature

Generosity does not only mean giving money or upvote, you can have little STEEM Power but you can still impact someone's life with just one comment on their blog post

One of the Steemit project that truly captured this was the Unmeans Stweets Initiative that was powered by @surpassinggoogle, the main thing about Steemit is the Community, we believe that the reason why people keep going back to Facebook after discovering Steemit is the Level of Interaction they have with their Facebook Friends

But if we can replicate a Vibrant community here on Steemit, they will have no reason to roam about, and even people who don't post consistently will still remain and add value to the community in some way due to the level of Interaction

In the words of @acidyo :

The Bluewaves Is Primarily a Nigerian Project, but Other African countries will Be Integrated as the Project Grows

We have a fully viable Marketing plan that has roots in Influencer Marketing and Industrial Applications, anyone interested in supporting the project should contact @ogochukwu on Steemit Chat and he/she will be presented with it

Mentorship

Introducing people to Steemit and not providing them a level of Mentorship will have negative effects as some people are not conversant with Steemit Ethics, leaving them without guidance will only pile up more work for the amazing people working on the @steemcleaners project

The Mentorship Curriculum has been built around Four Pillars of Blogging on Steemit, they include:

1. Personal Branding

2. Steemit Etiquette

3. Content Quality

4. Steem Mindset

Mentorship Is a non stop process, but that does not mean we should neglect new Signups, we have to show them the right way of doing this on this platform, the materials used for Mentorship will be 100% Steemit Content which Includes @ogochukwu's Blockchain Blogger Series and @dragonslayer109's Writing Tips Series which is already being used by the Phillipines Community to mentor Newbies

We noticed that there is a huge gap between Marketing and Mentorship In Steemit, bringing 1 Million people onboard will have no Impact if they are not guided on how Steemit works. It will also have Negative effects when New Steemians start behaving badly

The Mentorship Team Is currently made up of @ogochukwu and @dragonslayer109, we will start Mentoring the first batch of Steemains this week which will consist of older Steemians and also members of the Community who have proven themselves to be potential mentors

Mentoring of Newer Steemians will start next week and we believe we will have a larger number of Mentors to cover the huge base

All Community activities will take place in the Blue Waves Discord Server which has been built to house the project, it was also built in a way to foster communities within the main community
