I've been aware of Bitcoin for a while, but never delved into buying it, because I didn't quite understand it. I knew it had value, but without really "getting it," it didn't seem like a wise investment.

But, after about a week and a half on Steemit, I've figured out how to convert my Steem dollars to Bitcoin, and how to sell that Bitcoin for actual cash that goes into my bank account. I've done it twice now. The cash I'm getting is nice, and the more times I sell Bitcoin converted from my Steem dollars, the more I'm learning about Bitcoin, and my understanding of it increases.

I also like the way part of your payout for any article or comment you make money on goes to Steem Power, because you're being made an investor in the company.....something that could really pay out well for you in a couple of years. Making money and investing money, all from writing articles and commenting on good posts like this one....Steemit is potentially lucrative, it is an excellent creative outlet, and it is educational.

Personally, I'm loving it so far.
