Things That Cost More Than Sending Steem On SeemitsteemCreated with Sketch.

in #steem7 years ago

I don't think a lot of people understand how big a deal it is that you can send steem to anyone, anywhere, in seconds and it doesn't cost you a thing. You want to send money to a friend it will cost you fees, either banking fees or the cost of gas to drive to a friends house or, if you are sending money worldwide, you will have to pay transfer fees. When you transfer money from a bank the wiring fees are $35 here in Canada. That is a lot to just give money away :p To illustrate my point, here are a list of things that are cheaper than sending steem through steemit

  • The monthly fees you pay for your bank.

  • The gas to drive to someone's place to give them money.

  • The envelope that you put the money in.

  • A gumball.

  • The cost to wire money around the world.

  • The pen you use to sign the transaction for your banking transaction.

  • A phone call if you can find a phone booth.

  • A game of Pinball or Street Fighter

  • Anything at the dollar store.

  • Penny stocks.

  • The wallet you keep your money in.

  • The material that is used to make he change in your pocket.

  • The change itself.

And if time is money, the list goes on and on.

Want to see for yourself how free and efficient it is, send steem to @whatageek and see how fast it is :p. Yes that is joke, do not send me steem. But I will take your upvotes :)

Ha! Jokes on you! I can get gumballs for free!

Really though, this is a good point, lol.

Wait I minute, I want free gumballs...

Nice post, I'm keen to see more of your content! Follow for follow? :)

I get free pens from the bank. It doesn't even have to be my bank ;)

Tis true, sending many things is more expensive than sending Steem! Actually doing most anything feels more expensive than sending Steem. I played Basketball today and an open rec center was more expensive because I had to drive 30 miles round-trip !

Nice post !
You made the point !
