A Parcel Is Received By Post From A Fellow Steemian
Yes, it is TRUE! Steemit is real and the fine folks that you converse with (like pen-pals everyday) are just as dialed in as you are and they are REAL!!!
No Kidding!
Officially, I'd like to thank @papa-pepper for his generosity, support and above all else, his friendship.
I am absolutely blown away by this gift and it means a lot to me because it's yet another confirmation that Steemit is real and is filled with compassionate people doing amazing things for others, because they can.
Just Like What @papa-pepper Did For Me
These coins are about community and people helping people. It is an absolute honour and a great privilege to receive one from @papa-pepper.
Some cool Steemit Trivia!
@papa-pepper was the first person that I remember following on Steemit. In fact, he was the first person to engage with me on the platform. If I recall, he joined Steemit in July 2016 and I, in August. Back then, there wasn't as many articles being posted every day and it was easier to stay in touch. It seems many of us, sort of split up a little bit so that we could educate and help new Steemians as they arrived on the platform. Every once in awhile, our paths still cross, just as yours will when a new influx of Steemians arrive and you find yourself educating and helping newcomers.
In case you don't have time to watch the video, @papa-pepper sent me a parcel by post.
It contained a hand- painted t-shirt with his artwork on it and a limited edition, Steemit, 1 oz, silver coin.
The number of the coin is 0103!
One side of the coin has a Steemit logo on it.
The other side is very detailed and it depicts our community from tiny fish to whales, in its ocean motif.
Here are the Steemians who have had a hand in this Silver Steemit Coin project: @sevinwilson, @phelimint, @bearone and @raybrockman. It's a beautiful piece of art and a job well done by all involved!
A Few Words About The SBD
I also want to say that everyone should consider keeping their eye on what the SBD is worth on the global exchanges. Normally the SBD holds a value that equals the value of steem in a 1:1 ratio. At the time that I am writing this post, the SBD is trading for $11.83 and Steem is selling for $1.72.
If you sell your SBD and buy steem with it on an outside exchange, you will get considerably more tokens for your SBD. This will let you power up and give you more voting power.
I welcome your comments and I invite you to follow me on my journey...from time to time we will be opening mail and feeling truly blessed. ;)

103 is a VERY LOW number! Lol on matching your hair!! Great video, be blessed, and way to mention the SBD too!
Thank you so much @papa-pepper!
The hair thing was really funny. I really am going to wear the fantastic t-shirt you painted for NYE. LOL!
I'm shocked at how long the SBD has held its value. Remarkable opportunity.
That's wonderful!
With all the nominations that Papa-pepper got, you still managed to get one of those rounds. I have not gone back to the nomination request page since putting in my nomination, so have no idea how many people voted for whom. This really is a great surprise and a wonderful start to the Christmas season.
Congratulations!!!
I was shocked @happyme! It was an unexpected surprise when @papa-pepper told me and asked for my address to ship it to me.
It's an incredible gift and I am honoured and humbled by all of it. Thank you for supporting me. I really do appreciate and value our friendship.

In my opinion, a steemit silver round is worth more than the silver content alone, and having it gifted by another Steemian is even more of a treasure. I'm really glad you were one of the recipients because I get a sense that you are one of those who really care about your fellow human beings. The support has been mutual and I value the support you give me as well. I am thankful to Steemit for providing the platform with which I am able to connect to some really wonderful people. I'm thrilled with having met someone like you and feel you really deserve your silver round. I've admired Papa-Pepper ever since I learned about him and each time he does something like this I am blown away by his generosity; especially after reading about his past. After seeing his vehicle and learning more about him, I can see that he is not loaded and doesn't already have everything one could want, yet he still gives freely. What he is earning is (to me) worth more than any money could buy.
Exactly @happyme! I couldn't agree with you more. @papa-pepper has done very well for himself and his family. He works hard and continues to work hard. He also shares...he shares his knowledge, time, attention and some of the currency that he has earned. That (to me) are attributes of a true leader.
Wow, my congratulations to Rebecca, the otot gift speaks for itself! The silver STEEM is the best praise and the T-shirt is super! Well done @papa-pepper , you can see that he is a man of his word!
I couldn't agree more @serkagan! I feel truly blessed.
You are absolutely right, it makes you happy :)
Rebecca
I love to hear you talk. I could listen to you for hours.
And it helps that you have that cute little face too.
papa-pepper has made your day. And we got to see you enjoy the moment. Classic Steemit happenings for sure.
I get excited with each upvote I receive.
I think I know how excited you are now.
SBD.
You showed that to me a day or two ago and I capitalized on it.
Thank you
Francis
Hahaha! Thank you Francis...becareful what you wish for because I can talk for hours. LOL!
Yes, I was really touched by @papa-pepper's generosity.
It is exciting to see the number of upvotes increase. I'm always shocked that people even what to read my stuff. LOL!
Oh good! I'm glad you understood what I was trying to tell you and you took action. Well done!
Congrats @rebeccaryan. Keep up the good work.
Thank you @fproductions!
oh yeah! congrats on getting one of the coins there beautiful pieces welcome to the club :)
Thank you @owenwat. It is an honour. ;)
That's awesome silver coin you received from @papa-pepper. Congrats you @rebeccaryan. Currently SBD and steem price seems high grow up. So we have ability to earn multiple profits. Better way SBD sell/trade to steem I think.
Thanks @madushanka! I think so too.
Congrats on the coin!
SBD is doing good! I think I got 17 steem from 2.3 sbd
Thank you very much.
Good for you @masscollective! That's exactly how to do it. :)
@rebeccaryan,
You got it too! I heard another success story like this too! At that time it was a beer if I am not mistaken! Great gift you got for this X'mas and for your Birth day of this month also!
Cheers~
Thank you @theguruasia! I am still in disbelief!
