We All STEEM For Ice Cream

voronoi (70) in icecream • 8 years ago

Fellow Steemians,

I'm on vacation with family this week... and as all get-togethers go these days, Steemit has become a BIG TOPIC of conversation! Questions are running wild. So I thought it would be fun to do a little experiment. I'm going to use STEEM to buy everyone ice cream. I'd say it's a pretty delicious proof of concept, right?

This blog post will be used as an example to illustrate how rewards are raised through "upvotes" and engagement with people all over the world. There's a global love of ice cream out there and I hope this post taps into that tasty potential ;)

Step x Step

First, I'll withdraw $100 SBD from my Steemit wallet
Send to Bittrex
Send to my Bitpay Debit Card
Buy Ice Cream! (Scoop amount and toppings to be determined by parental units)

Here's a pic from "ice-cream night" last year with the nephews. Of course, I'll post a photo of the proof-of-ice-cream once complete!

I'll be back to my regular artsy and architectural posts later this week. Until then, I hope you all enjoy this experimental / sweet-toothed interlude.

STEEM on!

Brilliant interlude =) It's great to see examples of people being able to spend their hard earned STEEM / SBD; it really helps to demonstrate that putting time into the platform can result in real-world goods and services - and not just a warm fuzzy feeling from reputation points, karma etc.

With the new hardfork, one decent upvote of mine (2,5k SP) has the value of an ice cream! xD

This is great! Thank you for laying out the step-by-step process of using SBD to buy things. It's amazing in this day and age that we can buy physical objects with "digital currency." I'm looking forward to the future of Steemit and buying some ice cream!

Steem=ice cream! I can't think of a better use of crypto currency than that. If you want to add another level of technology you can order some of the best ice cream in the world at www.eCreamery.com and have it shipped to you.
