I Just Got Very Serious About Steemit

I Paid For My MacBook Pro With CouchCoin

My Husband Told Me To Say That

I actually have been working 6 hours a day, 5 to 7 days a week since last September of 2016 on my couch. I've posted 4 articles a day when I first joined Steemit for at least 3 months. I verified my art and my identity within my first week on Steemit. I studied Steemit ecosystem and who the big players are so I could avoid them as much as possible because I have an authority problem😂😂😂😇

I paid for my Mac with SBD and traded my SBD for BTC through Blocktrade.

A couple of months ago I started trading my Steem Backed Dollars and Steem for Bitcoin. I like Blocktrades, which is the best for speedy transactions although their fees are high. So I make sure my trade is higher than $60 SBD and keep all my coin off the exchanges and stored in a wallet on my iPad. I'll be setting up a new wallet on my Mac and I'm buying a hardware wallet like Trezor this week. Most of my cryptocurrency trading is a long term investment.

That "couchcoin" word got me laughing. Inovative! And thats one gorgeous Mac😍 I need to step up and get me one!

My husband makes me laugh all the time (hugs)😂😂😂

Can't wait to trade my couch coins but not now. I don't get off that couch until
Those coins are polished and shine again

Haha, I am telling my husband his idea is spreading!

Better than shitcoin hahha

That's true, at least I don't feel so bad producing couchcoins...shit coins make me feel like shit, especially with everything in the red right now😏.

Steemit introduces regular folk to cryptocurrency and the concept of a digitally-confined asset. It's wonderful seeing the motivation in action, keep it up.

Thank you @tfj, I hope I can be helpful😁

Well done! I guess I should have bought CouchCoin.
I only recently started buying other coins.

My husband made up couchcoin lolol, I've been sitting on my couch working on art since last September. Thank you @anca3drandom🦋

I had my suspicions :D

You deserve it all good! CouchCoin ~ Ya that's just Good Karma kicking in...

Oh man, karma is very subtle, so hard to keep my intentions and actions pure...I like to curse😆 Thank you @smartcasual🌀

Yippiee.....That is one Machine, Like Optimus Prime of Transformers😊😊😊😁.....am jealous🤔

I thought the MacBook was going to be smaller, it's a 13inch, it's perfect, I'm so happy. I will be spending the rest of the day transferring photos and my graphics software...hehe

Very Sleek, have seen that model once. it was a beauty

I don't like many things about Apple products but it's graphics card, design, and human interface are amazing.

I agree strongly, never used a mac before though but i hear they are beasts in UX/UI designings

Exactly!

@reddust
Have you ever talked to your husband about your work that spent 5 to 7 days a week since September 2016 yesterday on my couch. I have posted 4 articles a day when I first joined Steemit for at least 3?
I think if you talk to your husband well he will understand:

My husband works from home, we are together 24/7 lolol....he was teasing me☺️

@reddust

Maybe your husband wants to feel homesick and play with you

Maybe your husband chips, at the time he came home from work there who would accompany him

My husband and I work in the same office, our living room.

If one office is very young for you to communicate with your husband, can look at each other and smile@reddust

Great! Thanks for the Monday Motivation for the rest of us steemians

That's why I post this type of article, I'm not bragging. I want others to see Steemit and cryptocurrency can and is used in real world applications.

Sitting in a bookstore right now getting ready to sign up for Blocktrades, Bittrex and BitPay. Never heard of CouchCoin! I'll have to look that one up too. Also, I have that same origami book Lol. I decorated my daughters baby shower with paper flowers🌸

There is no such thing as couchcoin, couchcoin is a product of my husband's lame humor...have fun and be careful!

It sounds very much like CoinJar hahaha! He may be onto something!
I have my wallet and Im signed up for everything. Dont really know how to move everything around yet. I cant wait until this is more streamlined....

This system is refining and evolving rabidly, the only thing I don't like is the huge miner fees moving my coins around. You'll do fine, I read a lot of articles on steemit that really helped me.

Thank you! Any info at this point is a step in the right direction. The 13 week power down isnt in my favor right now but as long as this boat is floating and not sinking, it'll be good ;0)

Yeah but I see Steemit ups and downs to be short like alligator teeth🐊

couchcoin😆😅😅😁😂😊😆😉

Wow, the origami book is for my grandkids, it's a small world🌀

I got all the special-needs kids in my daughter's Pre-K class together and we made flowers for 3 hours! They had so much fun learning and it really helped their fine motor skills. Not bad for 4 bucks of paper and some homemade fruit roll-ups!

Kids, art, and homemade fruit rolls, that's my idea of heaven!

Awesome! Enjoy the new mac book. Looks like a great machine. It's so cool seeing all the cool stuff everyone is getting with their steemit earnings. Congrats :)

Thank you @the-bitcoin-dood, everyone has been working so hard during Steemit's beta phase!

"Couchcoin" - that's very funny! When does the ICO start!? LOL And congratulations on your new iMac. 😎

My husband's humor was one of the reasons I asked him to marry me....maybe I'll take his suggestion seriously lololol I'll use a 🥔 as the coins symbol. Thank you kindly @chessmonster.

That's really quite good: CouchCoin with a potato symbol. he he

I know, I see an article about our conversation 😉

must be smart to divide the time @reddust

I try and organize my time around my energy levels. I get up around 5:30am, I don't need an alarm clock and I'm running full speed on my art and Steemit articles until around noon, I eat and take a nap, do some chores cook dinner, walk 4 miles, hang with the family, read and study in the evening.

oh sorry my bad @reddust

I think it's good to share work routines with everyone. Being organized and using ones energy levels correctly is a trick many don't know❤️

yeah i think so @reddust by sharing we can be a little relieved let alone have good suggestions :)

Good for you reddust, you have to take care of youreself to help others

Taking care of myself first so I can help others was a huge lesson I learned raising my kids. Thank you @remoc🌺

YOU! Are my Hero young lady ; )

Thank you and SteemON!

@frankbacon, you have helped me too, I appreciate your presence and intellect here on Steemit🌀

Steemit will, give back the rewards to the people and not to the big Companies !

Just like I give back to my followers. Facebook takes our data and is worth billions while we don't even own our content. Steemit gives back on many levels.

congrats.png

CouchCoins Hahaha =D

Happy for you @reddust !^_^

Thank you @barbara-orenya🎂😂😂😂

congrats on your progress and success thus far :)

Thank you @doitvoluntarily❤️

@redust, enjoy your new mac. Now you will be even more content sitting on your couch writing articles for Steemit.

It's been difficult writing on an iPad after my iMac died last winter, so I am very happy indeed my friend @sumatranate.

Wow! I can't imagine writing on an iPad everyday (but I should be willing to do it if necessary). I don't want obstacles and excuses to derail my future plans. Great job pressing forward despite the challenges. I appreciate your example.

Thank you @samatranate, I have enormous patience muscles now😏

That's awesome - "patience muscles"!

Still trying to learn this whole cryptocurrency thing.. Just became aware of it a few days ago and wanting to learn more. Any recommendations on getting started?

I didn't save any articles, all you need to do is use the search option on Steemit and look for articles on cryptocurrency and newbies. I just did a quick search for you, read as much as you can before you jump in...

Thank you so much!!

Yesssss! I am about to get a new desktop PC with my SBD earnings. :D Congrats you earned it!!

Thank you dear @lauralemons, I'm gonna follow you now😁 Edit, I already am...hehe sorry for not checking on your stream

4 posts a day! And quality posts at that, wow....that's impressive. You deserve all the rewards you get. I am lucky if I can give an hour and a half a day to steemit and all my steemit time comes at the expense of sleep, but it's so worth it to me!

Most people have an outside job so I understand, take care of your health. 🌀

thank you :-)), very kind

I feel the same way. I have a dream one day, Steemit will beat Facebook.

Facebook is a greedy monster that exploits human social behavior. I would be very happy if Facebook became extinct from its feeding habits.

I, think, if Facebook was like Steemit, we will not have so much poverty in the world.

Maybe so, I don't know enough to say with authority but I would love to see the economic model!

Rainbow and butterflies made me laugh..))
Well.. it looks not bad and pretty comfortable to work with, i'd say!
I'm also looking for a good wallet. Not sure what is safer to use.

I thought about skulls and bones of a dakini's skirt but most people wouldn't get the symbolism 💀👹

Well yes.. it kinda sounds crazy from the first look..
Only people who practise this can understand haha)

Oh...beautiful buddha😍

I want a MAC too !
Thanks for this motivation keep steeming !

You are welcome @enterg🌼

Have fun with your new toy!

I have to establish learned typing habits after using an ipad since last winter. Slightly annoying. Thank @iamwne

I think I will be following your lead! I hate the middleman and avoid where I can.
So, how are you liking your new "toy"???

I love the graphics on this machine, it's intuitive, which Apple is well known for, however I have to get used to a keyboard and tracking pad. I love the keyboard, not so much the tracking pad. I'll prolly get a mouse, and not an apple mouse, they suck!

Newegg is so cool, I've loved their business since 2003, yeah we need to get rid of the middleman. If we truly want to be revolutionary we need to decentralize and deal with businesses directly.

I've been a PC girl all my life because I could never afford a mac! It's on my wish list but I worry that any of my programs will be compatible. That PC mentality really has a firm grip on me. But I need an upgrade and I think I can save enough Steemit funds to treat myself to something nice (instead of settling for the cheapest POS). I LOVE Newegg! We were able to finally purchase a computer for my son who needed an upgrade far worse than I did. Great deals there. And I love their customer service.

I'm definitely leaning more toward Mac. Now to decide if I want a mini mac or a laptop. hmm....

You know, in all this time I've never seriously looked into BlockTrades? I'm doing that now.

The fees on Blocktrade are high, but they are superfast with transactions compared to polo, but so is bittrex. With apple products you'll have to check your software. When I was managing an office I often had disagreements with my boss regarding updating our pc's because we would have to buy new software packages and even printers. Both Apple and Microsoft make tons of money with stupid upgrades....blah!

I will be there with you pretty soon ;)

I'll be waiting🙏

Congrats on the mac book! I love mine!

Go easy on yourself, Grandma with an authority problem :) Congrats on the new avatar pic and that rainbow hair, now that I know I'm not hallucinating! XD

"Authority Problem" LOL that's reason most of us are here in the cryptocurrency world. Did all those fun creatures flutter out of the box when you opened it? :-)

Woow. I also want to buy one by earning from steemit.
I can give my half hour to steemit of my day.
Please give some suggestions.
Thank you @reddust

Haha, i think your other half should do an ICO of his own, couchcoin is catchy. I'm the same with authority. I may follow your lead and get a mac this year, pc's just ain't doing it for me anymore. :)

Awesome! Congratulations! Hope it's workin' well for you

Super nice!

Well, Steemit is getting me an iPhone 6s first (because I work mostly on my phone) then I can work towards getting my MacBook! I can imagine the feeling 😊

Congratulations
