Thank you for an overwhelming response to my "Incentivized Giving" experiment in which we beat the conventional wisdom that "you can't give to anyone without taking from someone".
50 Needy Helped Without Taking From Anyone
With my two posts 50 Steemians (I would rather call them Prosperists) were able to generate 150 SBDs (approximately $500) as comment rewards, which they shared with those in need.
Here's How Some Of Them Reported To Have Used The Rewarded SBDs

I have completed sharing my previous sbd reward with those in need. I sheared them with poor children, those who i saw begging when i went to college. I hope to do the same with upcoming reward.[-]shencoin (50) · 6 days ago

I didn't participate last week. Must've missed your post on that.
But the previous week I sent 100% of it to my friend who is due to deliver her baby and is in need financially.[-]marygrac (47) · 6 days ago

This is how I shared the SBD that I received. I joined @damarth’s one meal a day and to your incentivized sharing. I will try to continue to support the family.
Here’s the link to my post @sharonomics: One Meal A Day. I will support one family at a time since we cannot support everyone.
Let's Be More Accountable
Only seven of the 26 recipients of Week-1 SBD rewards reported back how they shared their rewards. More accountability will make this Prosperism initiative a credible movement.
Change Your World With Prosperism:
Those who want to become a part of the Prosperism movement can volunteer to give 75% of their SBD reward to a good cause. As a Prosperist your humanitarian activity will be supported by 100% upvote from me. You will have to clearly mention in your comment:
"I pledge to share 75% of my SBD reward with at least one needy person"
Those who used the payout are advised to mention in a comment how they used the pledged SBD. That's called accountability.
Be A Prosperist & Join Us In Changing The World :)
