Overstock Takes Bitcoin Through Coinbase

All the bitcoin I own was bought with my steemit rewards!

All you have to do to buy a product from Overstock is have a computer and a wallet or a bitcoin wallet on Coinbase. Overstock takes assorted other cryptocurrency as well! Overstock will not process transactions using a digital phone or iPad wallets for some reason. I haven't used any USD or credit cards for my casual purchases for the last six months!

What is reassuring about ordering through blockchain with bitcoin, I have a transaction number and you can't lose that! My order didn't show up on my Overstock order folder when I ordered a birdcage for the little dove we rescued with the broken wing. We decided to keep her because the rescue facility would of killed her because she will never be able to fly.

I am finally getting around to ordering a cage for her, she has been living in a cage that is too small for her. I didn't matter since she couldn't move around very well for a long time. But now she is jumping all over the place instead of flying. So I bought a bigger cage. We call her PG, short for pigeon even through she is a mourning dove.

You see that MacBook Pro in front of PG? Steemit rewards bought that for me too! Thank you all for upvoting my content, I really do appreciate you.

That's awesome. I love using purse.io to buy things with bitcoin! You can get anything from Amazon!

I haven't transferred my bitcoin from my iPad Bread wallet to my computer's Electrum wallet yet. I will check purse.io out. Thank you @jeffjagoe!

yes u r right about overstock and blockchain @reddust and i agree with u..and some day ago i stollen my pasword of other steemit account and that is close now its blockchain some side effect....dove on ur hand look so beautifull and cute reddust care it always

I feel sorry for the poor dove, having been born for flying but now has a broken wing. I try and care for her and make her life stimulating. I wonder how someone can steal an account without the masterkey? I have my key stored in a special fireproof safe along with my other cryptocurrency keys.

no sorry @reddust ur work is really great and u r also great i hope she will save in ur safe hands and she will happy from ur lots off love and kindness

Thank you for the good informations. How is this ''Strathmore'' Watercolor paper?

Yeah Strathmore watercolor blocks and loose sheets, plus my favorite heavy duty hotpress mixed media paper, I think it's 90lb. The mixed media paper great for ink, acrylic and watercolor but the gouache doesn't blend as well as on watercolor paper. I can scrub all I want on this paper and it won't pill.

For me Arches paper was the best by far. I can scrub too on it or make small correction if I make a mistake. I will try Strathmore if I find at the art supplies store. Thank you!

OOOOOOhhhhhh, I'm seeing new watercolor paper! I always have a small tremor when I do:)! Ooooohhhh:)

I get all excited over paper and art supplies too. Maybe someday I will be able to have a hobby room stuffed with thousands of dollars worth of supplies...that would be heaven to me.

Not thousands of dollars, but sometimes I'm really afraid to count how much I spend on them lol:)

That's good to know : )

I didn't notice you can use other kinds of cryptocurrency as well.

Oh wow very inspiring for me you used your Steemit rewards very wisely :D

@blazing, I worked very hard for these rewards, I want to reinvest wisely in healthy things and ways to grow investments that aren't harmful.

wow that's really awesome. i wish u more success here on steemit.. have a great week @reddust

Thank you @akareem, I wish us all success from our hardwork <3

thankyou so much for ur kind words. cheers.. <3

Thanks for telling about this :)

You are welcome @steemphotography.

aweome mam she looks very cute and pretty i hope she gets many love from u reddust mam

I enjoy caring for the dove but her flightless state makes me sad, I kinda feel that way sometimes too and I look around it seems all humans are kept in a cage and we don't even know we can fly. Our wings aren't broken we just forgot we have them.

bitcoin is going mainstream :D

We may see a fight over bitcoin or any cryptocurrency going mainstreem if the central fiat currency banks cannot control it and the governments cannot tax it...

Nice post and good to see there are some folks that do more than just HODL BTC!!! I'd be curious about how overstock and/or coinbase handle the tax reporting, if any?

I know, the whole tax issue if addressed would have to admit bitcoin is a currency...makes my head hurt thinking about it...

We, (actually my husband) are holding a lot of bitcoin as a long term investment. But I want to use some of my steem to invest back into what I need to create art and help out those who are in need, so the steem I trade for bitcoin goes for my personal use rather than a long term investment.

I love your little rescue dove, she's so beautiful, and I love that you were able to buy your art supplies (and Macbook!) with your Steemit earnings too! Fantastic!😊

It's been, I don't know how many months, maybe since April, 3 months? She has finally figured out I am not going to eat her. I have to move her out of the dinky little cage ever other day to clean and restock her food and water. She still tries to fly and has no balance at all without both her wings. It makes me feel sad seeing her in a cage knowing how she will never fly again. It might of been kinder in the long run to have let nature take it's own way. But we can't take it back now, she is with us for as long as she lives. Thank you @generikat <3

Sometimes it's nice to intervene and save a life, but I totally understand what you are saying regarding life in a cage and nature's course. She is such a lucky girl to have someone that is so kind and willing to see to her needs, the alternative would have been a less happier ending. We have a lot of wild doves here and I enjoy listening to them coo in the evening. Hope you and yours have a marvelous day!!

Wow! You've collected so much steemit rewards :o

I've almost been here on steemit for a year and posted every day mostly from my own artwork. Competition is now getting hot, its going to be interesting making rewards with all the new and talented people coming on board. I've only powered down once and invested my sbd in bitcoin. I am very conservative lololol and hardly the best at earning rewards here on steemit. You could call me a middle class dolphin.

Like it! Like it! Like it! The world is becoming more accepting of cryptocurrency and that dove is so happy for it!

If Amazon takes bitcoin, bitcoin will go crazy! I have so much fun trying to figure out how to use bitcoin, the trading platforms, the wallets, the technology involved. All this new and exciting stuff to learn! Thank you @sumatranate!

@reddust, you are so right. If a big retailer like Amazon jumps on board, that will be a game changer. I also love learning all of the new tech. I just wish I had more money so that I could invest more.

Patience + Steemit = New Opportunities

Upvoted. I'm going to resteem this now :)

Thank you @msright!

Wow @reddust so beautiful dove, i wish you get more and more success in steemit plateform.

I hope we all find success here on steemit. I hope you have a great week @adnanrabbani!
