Welcome to another project-packed episode of the **BeyondBitcoin Whaletank** featuring 8 incredible community driven projects. If you have heard about Whaleshares and BeyondBitcoin, but are not sure what they represent, this is your opportunity to watch, listen and learn. Steemit has evolved into a community of people coming together with similar interests to share posts on topics that are important to them and the people who follow and connect with them. The BeyondBitcoin and Whaleshares communities are extensions that operate independently, but **work in tandem to support the development of community-building projects** both on Steemit and offline in the "real-world".

**The following recording is from Whaletank Hangout #228 on Saturday October 14, 2017.** This is another exciting edition covering 8 different projects by a diverse group of dedicated advocates, each with their own goals to help and support people all over the world in unique ways using the power of cryptocurrencies and the blockchain. **To truly understand** what these projects do and how much they help, *please* take the time to listen to the audio. https://youtu.be/WXH00Kq8iMM *This audio was edited by me to remove 90% of the "umms, uhhhs, throat clearings, awkward pauses, and mic issues." There is some minor content editing in this edition, but nothing that alters the context of the project overviews presented in this recording.* ## Projects covered in order of appearance: ##
**Family Protection Project** @familyprotection Presented by: @markwhittam / @canadian-coconut New program to provide support and funding to families confronted by state-sponsored child protection services. **Peerplays** @peerplays Presented by: JBahai Updates on the progress to the Peerplays platform. **SKILLCoin / NinjaWhale Partnership** Presented by: @bambam808 Updates on the new Rewards Token and how that will be implemented into the Talent and Gaming Communities on Steemit along with the new partnership with NinjaWhale **Transcription and Translation Service** Presented by: @nutela Automated Transcription and Translation Service for the Whaletank and other audio broadcasts. **School for Underprivileged Children** (SDG4) Presented by: @azizbd The school is to facilitate local underprivileged children to access quality education and achieve Sustainable Development Goal 4 (SDG4). **Steemit Worldmap Project** Presented by: @martibis Project where users can add their travel posts from Steemit to a global map for easy cataloging and viewing by others. **BuildAWhale / MARKER Token** @buildawhale Presented by: @themarkymark Updates on the BuildAWhale bidding bot, Steemit Witness update, and the New MARKER Token on the Bitshares DEX. **University Lectures/Workshops on Crypto** Presented by: @rawbinhutt Giving University Lectures and Workshops on Crypto Using BitShares Test Network to give the next generation of students a clear understanding of the new decentralized economy.

You have to keep in mind that Steemit/STEEM is based on the same blockchain technology that runs Bitshares, the upcoming EOS platform, as well as all the tokens that are trade-able across them all on the Bitshares DEX (Decentralized Exchange). The tokens become **extremely powerful tools for funding real-world projects** that provide help for people with depression and mental health issues (VOICESHARE), people recovering from cancer treatments (HAIRSHARE), non-profit programs assisting with the Red-Cross (LOVESHARES), projects to build clean energy solar farms across the globe (TOPSOL), and so many more. Plus the direct financial support tokens like BeyondBits and Whaleshares bring to projects that do not have their own supporting token provides hope for so many.
