im not sure how aware he is or the .sucks crew. but him actually seeing that money is not going to be easy... first off he needs to do something called powering down. it will spread the money into 13 payments, once a week ...then he needs to join an exchange to change it into the US tethered dollar. then he needs to link that with his bank, when it gets transferred it will lose 10%. on top of all that...as soon as he powers down...in essence he loses his voting power. basically as i understand it. 1000 steem power is consider to be strong level. most will leave 1000 steem power always. currently 1000 steem power is worth a bit more than 1000 dollars.
that would mean that he strategically would not want to take out any money until after he has earned 1000 dollars worth of steempower.
and even at that moment he has the whole clusterfuck of getting it out.
i cant really see any money getting in a pocket for over 6 months.
actually a more effective way to get value out of steemit would be to trade for goods on cryptopia. which is kinda the ebay of crypto currencies.
