Now I can't promise what will happen in the future, but right now STEEMIT is definitely buying the farm, and I can prove it.
Folks, you won't hear @papa-pepper say many negative things about steemit, and I'm not trying to now. However, I spent the day yesterday doing some serious investigation, and I cannot deny the results.
I wanted to make absolutely sure that I had sufficient evidence prior to posting any claims (one way or the other) so I invested a lot of time yesterday into doing some research, and it looks like my suspicions were confirmed.
I will try to lay out my research in an easy to understand manner, but, I do not think that there is any way that you'll be able to disagree with what my experiment determined.
To do my experiment, I followed this simple procedure, so you can follow these steps and do your own research if you want, just to be sure.
STEP ONE
Take STEEM from Steemit Wallet.
STEP TWO
Sell it on Bittrex for Bitcoin.
STEP THREE
Transfer Bitcoin to Coinbase.
STEP FOUR
Link Shift Card to Coinbase wallet.
STEP FIVE
Find an ATM.
STEP SIX
Withdraw fiat US currency.
STEP SEVEN
Use fiat US currency to purchase farm animals from farmer.
THE RESULT?
Well folks, the results don't lie.
Obviously, STEEMIT is starting to buy the farm.
This is some exciting news for all of us, but especially those at the @papa-pepper household.
It was kind of a long day, so I did some more research.
Just look at what else steemit is buying:
Steemit is buying the gas.
Steemit is buying the lunch.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper, and here's the proof:
proof-of-purchase
On another note - It looks like @papa-pepper is one of the "most greateful people on steemit."

Bringing home the bacon! If you have not already named the piggy I have done it for you so you can spend your time creating more entertaining posts. Sir Wilbur Piggerson.
My cousins have a pet pot belly named Sam and when they were younger they would feed Sam bacon and sausage. They thought it was hilarious. They grew up to be pretty decent human beings much to my surprise.

I, too, am very grateful for Steemit. I really don't care if I make any cash but I do care about creativity and this platform has me moving quite seriously (and finally!) into the realm of writing and photography. I have not posted much content yet as I am working on 2 projects that are not ready to see the light of day as of now. But, I am working on them and seeing all this creativity and camaraderie is motivational and exciting!
Thank you, @steemit and @papa-pepper!
P.S. - Good on you, Papa, for reinvesting in your land and family.
