Thank You Steemit
I have bought all my art and blogging tools from the profits made from my rewards from blogging on Steemit. I used Blocktrades and Bitshares for trading my SBD and Steem for Bitcoin.
Blocktrades is very simple but does have high fees. But it's worth the fees when first learning how to trade and use a personal wallet. Bitshares is a complicated trading platform but has great fees and it's super fast.
Once I figured out trading platforms after having a hard time with Poloniex shutting down it's SBD and Steem wallets from time to time I found Blocktrades and have my own wallet now. I traded SBD and Steem for a variety of cryptocurrencies and now I have a diverse portfolio of cryptocurrencies.
I still use Coinbase because it's easier to use their wallet when buying from Overstock.com. I also have used Bittrex for trading but it also has had issues with shutting down wallets when trading. Both Coinbase and Bittrex require state identification if you want to trade in large volumes and convert to fiat currency.
My Favorite Brushes
Winsor & Newton sable hair paint bushes are the best made brushes from my experience. Their tips are perfect, how they hold the paint, and the quality of manufacturing are always the same, the best! The 0 series is the least expensive, I paid around $20 dollars worth of bitcoin for each brush. The bigger the brush the more it cost. I think the biggest brush is like $150.00. When I become a Steemit millionaire I will buy one until then I will have to use Winsor & Newtons Sceptre Gold II series, which is a mix of sable and man made brush hair. This series is also well made and can deliver great water holding ability and detailing.
My paper is 22 x 30 inch cold press 300lb watercolor paper. I use Frog-masking tape to mask off the edges to give a clean look to my borders. The tape is used by professional house painters and doesn't rip up my paper when I remove the tape. I also use tracing paper to lay out my drawing and or designs. Once I am happy with the drawing I trace it onto my watercolor paper. I don't like to sketch and erase on my watercolor paper because of abrading the surface of the paper. Quality paper can take it but I like a clean surface when painting. My husband birthday is next month and he requested a painting of Lionel Messi, his favorite soccer play. I don't watch sports so I had to look him up and my husband picked out his favorite picture for a painting.
Luis Lionel Andres (“Leo”) Messi (b. June 24, 1987) is an Argentinian soccer player who plays forward for the FC Barcelona club and the Argentine national team. At the age of 13, Messi moved from Argentina to Spain after FC Barcelona agreed to pay for his medical treatments. There he became a star and led his club to championships. In 2012, he set a record for most goals in a calendar year, and in 2016, he was named Europe's Ballon d'Or winner for the fifth time.

I agree and I started up my twitter account to post articles like this to help Steemit grow. I was on twitter when it first started and have had several accounts. It grew so boring but it's great for advertising lol

I figured I needed to share some of my experiences. My daughter thought cryptocurrencies were a scam until I bought my MacBook Pro with some of my Steemit earnings ....hahaha
She doesn't say anything now but she is still skeptical...just wait until I buy a little farm from my cryptocurrency investments...that will win her over

I really liked Bittrex when I first started trading...but when trading is really hot some wallets on the exchange will shut down and you will not be able to trade at the best prices. Which really ticked me off so I moved to bitshares, I don't day trade, I only buy for long term investments or buying things that I need.

I've sent some of the steem in the platform Binance
And I converted it to Bitcoin, Now what I want to know is how do I convert the Bitcoin to the dollar and then to my bank account ?
Or how can I buy something by Bitcoin ?
Downvoting a post can decrease pending rewards and make it less visible. Common reasons:
Submit
I can't help you with that, exchanges are different depending on the country and fiat currency. I buy bitcoin with SBD or Steem. I have yet to convert my cryptocurrency to fiat currency. But I am getting ready to sell some of my cryptocurrency for fiat and start buying crypto when we have the next dip... To trade bitcoin for my countries fiat currency I will need to provide state ID and a valid Bank account routing number.
