I'm bursting with excitement! Today Steemit went from a virtual reality to a physical one!
How Did Steemit Change For me Today?
A little over a week week ago @papa-pepper contacted me with the news that I was among a group of Steemers that he wanted to send a Steemit Silver Round to. You can read about his community building project here! I picked up the parcel at the post office today and it really has me feeling like part of a world wide community.
Thanks a lot @papa-pepper you're awesome. The silver round is beautiful and a great keep sake. I love the t shirt both for the message and because I've seen videos of you making them yourself! You've been great for Steemit and Steemit has been great to you!
Would You Like to See me Opening The Parcel?
What Has Your Experience Been?
I've seen many posts by @papa-pepper where he has both sent and received parcels from other members of the community.
- Have you received anything by mail from a fellow Steemer?
- Have you ever sent mail to a fellow Steemer?
- Do you see mailing things as a good community builder?
I hope that you enjoyed this article about "Physical Contact in a Virtual World, a Vlog!"
Until next time,
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
OH YES!!!!! I am so glad that it made it to you my friend! I love taking things offline and physically blessing others! I'll keep you posted on my end!

Now this is mind blowing.... I never steemit could get this good.
Its a nice thing to see such great love turning a vitural world into a more physical world.
Congratulations to @Kus-knee and thumbs up to @papa-pepper for the parcel.
I hope we all learn from this.
I will be expecting mine soon.

Cool, this is actually the idea we have in mind to be able to support our friends-artisans from Latin America by sending their beautiful creations to Steemians in exchange of donations. It's great to see that this is already becoming reality :-) saluti da Diana - Lou's wife and @steemitri 's translator/host ;-)

Yes It is. He did a nice job painting it because there are lighter and darker areas of green and the shading is well done!

I think it's a beautiful idea to make Steemit "physical" by sending each other things... and I believe it could easily become the prototype for an entire Steemit peer-to-peer marketplace... art, handicrafts, goods and services, all bypassing the whole "manufacturer-to-middleman-to-store" thing, and funded with Steem.
I had considered the idea of creating a "Postcard Exchange" on Steemit where members could send each other postcards from all corners of the world... the main issue is to have a safe-- but convenient and easy-- way to exchange addresses.
Lots of other things we could do, too.
Cool hat and shades, by the way!

If I understand right, Steem still keeps the old logo. The Steemit site has the new logo. Another steemian has posted the suggestion that the reason for the change is to better legally distinguish between the two.

How cool that silver Steemit token!
Never send or received something from a Steemian yet. And I indeed think this type of products are indeed very interesting community builders. It shows appreciation for the receiver and that in itself is positive.
I did advise @pollux.one on his new service he is building 'SteemBay' (here) to implement escrow to protect the buyer of physical products since trust is required between the buyer and seller and escrow helps to give that trust.

It is the priceless treasures you bring to the table and find in others along your journey. Thanks for sharing.
