IT's REAL! My first transfer of STEEM AND SBD into pound sterling...steemCreated with Sketch.

Hi guys.
Last night my Uncle Stephen @stephenkendal, took me through the process of transferring a small proportion of my STEEM and SBD (steem back dollar)through Bittrex to real life currency, which for me is pound sterling. With the combination of both steem and SBD transferred, gave me £30.
I know to a lot of people, this isn't a lot of money but to me, it means a great deal. This being because I've never known what it's like to earn money through WORKING. Before, money was given to me without me knowing how much work someone would have had to put into EARN it!

It was fascinating to see the whole process, which made me appreciate and realise even more that Steemit is the real deal! I'm no longer living in the dream where I'm thinking to myself "this is too good to be true, surely?"

And the best thing is... This is only just the beginning!! Can you imagine the vast improvements that are going to be made in years to come? When payments will be made available to the author within a click of a button?

I hope you agree when I say this... STEEMIT will become the most powerful social media site ever!

One reason why it'll be so powerful is that it will help people who are in the worst possible situations. I've already seen some tremendous acts of kindness already on steemit which demonstrates what life's all about.

If there is one thing that steemit has taught me and I'm sure will teach everyone eventually is that...
HARD WORK PAYS OFF.

Well done guys. Uncle Stephen is the proudest uncle in the World..!! Looking forward to helping you guys out in the Summer Holidays handing out the Promotional Flyers in Wolverhampton with Matt @Starkerz. I am very proud of all the hard work and amazing ideas you two have come up with in the last few months to help promote STEEMIT, especially in school..!! Keep up the great work. Uncle Stephen :)

The amount of giveaways and kind heartedness does make this community and platform amazing.
I'm glad that Steem was able to act as a bridge into cryptocurrency and every penny that you earned is well deserved.
Thank you for all your work for promouk and I wish you luck in the future with the project
Keep up the great work!

I totally agree and thank you. Promo-uk is something I really enjoy doing and it's a real pleasure to represent the community as a whole!

Congratulations for your money and for your hard work!

I know how how it feels to make money for the first time working, actually doing something that involves some effort from you. I did that when I was 16 years old form YouTube, after months and months of working and saving I was finally able to get around $200 in a bank account, and it was the best feeling in the world, to be able to buy things using the money you worked so hard for.

Congratulations once again for your money and keep up the good work :)

Thank you for your comment. It's much appreciated. Your story is inspiring to here. To be a part of the promo-uk team and being able to promote steemit in the UK is an honour! I'm willing to work hard to promote steemit as I know it will really benefit not just me, but everyone in the steemit community in the long run!

Congratulations!!! Lets steemit!!!!!!!

Congratulations... with the guidance of Uncle Stephen, you will make much more... thanks for promoting Steemit in UK .

Write a post about it as well, how to withdraw your Steem or SBD into cash via Bittrex.
I heard that they charge a lot for transferring money in Asian countries.

Well done! Far cleverer than I. I've looked at Bittrex and can't understand how to use it!

I think you should write an article on exactly how you got Steem into UKP, as so much focus is on USD and EUR.
