#S002 My first check to STEEM in 2018 一张开给Steem 的支票

今天周末，我整理书桌的时候发现了好几本支票簿束之高阁，崭新如初。本想这么长时间没有用到过，相必我今年也用不到了。转念之间我想到了Steem，不如第一张支票开给Steem。

如是，就有了下面这张@Abeta亲笔手写支票，接着跑去露台，在夕阳下拍下这一瞬。

在国内的时候，只有少数的机构业务或者贸易类业务才会使用支票簿。但是，在香港支票簿使用非常频繁。小到缴水电单，缴信用卡账单，八达通，房屋租金，大到转账汇款、出粮单、个人大额结算都会使用支票；从整体上说，很大一部分比例的香港人都会使用支票的方式进行付款或结算。

对比国内移动支付日益发达的今天，与其说香港在支付结算领域固步自封，不如说是一种情怀和生活态度，还有就是“信任”. 就如同在数字货币的海洋中，我选择了Steem(@abit, @oflyhigh, @rivalhw 谢谢中文区大佬支持一下~)，也选择了对它的信任。

支票：一种支付结算的纸质凭证，尽管支付方可能会开出一张空头支票，但是结算双方还是更愿意选择信任。就好比在信息化时代，你的挚友从远方寄来一封纸皮信笺，简单的问候，熟悉的字迹，远比WhatsApp或者facetime时的心情更值得珍藏和怀念。这也是我对Steem的情怀。

希望在不远的将来2019,2020…，随着区块链技术的成熟落地，更多像Steem这样去中心化的应用（社区）能引领信息4.0的变革与潮流，而我对Steem的这份情怀能一直不变。

This weekend, when I was cleaning up the room, I found several cheque books hanging out on my desk for months (maybe a year). I think I should not need it anymore this year. Suddenly steem appeared in my mind. it wasn't so much that to abandon it rather than to open the first cheque for steem.

So, I write down the cheque and signature as @Abeta, and then ran to the terrace to take this moment in the setting sun.

In mainland, only few corporations or trade finance still preferred the cheque books. However, the use of cheque books in Hong Kong is expected to be very frequent. Especially at small pay such as water and electricity bills, pay credit card bills, Octopus, housing rent, transfer money, personal large settlement will use cheques; as a whole, a large proportion of Hong Kong people will use cheques Payment or settlement.

Comparing with the increasing development of mobile payment in China today, it is not so much a matter of saying that Hong Kong is self-styled in the payment and settlement field. It is more a kind of feelings and attitude towards life. It is also “trust.” Just like in the ocean of digital currency, I chose steem (@Abit, @oflyhigh, @rivalhw If there is any support or encouragement to me, there will be sincerely many thanks to all of you) and chose to trust it.

Cheque: As a payment-clearing paper certificate. Although the payer may issue a dud check, the settlement parties still prefer to trust each other. In the information age, Assuming a scenario that your best friend sent a letter of paper from the distant place, written with words of simple greetings and familiar hand signature, which is far more than the feelings of WhatsApp or facetime worthy of collection and nostalgia. This is just my feeling for Steem.

Hopefully, in the near future 2019, 2020... With the maturity of blockchain technology, more and more applications (communities) like STEEM will be able to lead the transformation and trend of Information 4.0. And my feelings of STEEM still unchanged.
