RE: Look At What Came In The Mail: A Steem Wallet! The SteemEconomy Lives
Preach it brother! An acquaintance teases me that we blog on Steemit "for magic beans." Steemit is social media AND a proto-economy. Doing business, no matter how small, for tangible items moves Steemit from proto to actual economy. And that is good for us all, and good for the rest of the world actually.
Everything I sell for Steem or SBD mostly to powering up, not cashing out, which keeps the Steemit platform growing and healthy.
I hear ya: myself, I heard "imaginary money."
But I've been long enough in the crypto-world to be philosophical. It has its funny moments. When Bitcoin was three figures, I broached the subject to my dad and he got agitated: he was afraid I was being scammed.
So I shut up about it.
Sure enough: when Bitcoin got above $15,000, he was asking me to explain it to his friends. :)
Something to smile about, and an important lesson. The time my dad got agitated (in 2014) was the time I should have been buying. The time when my dad was adverting me as a Bitcoin resource officer was the time to sell & wait to get back in.
The Theory of Contrary Opinion never wears out....
