RE: Talking to Skeptics: Maybe the Tooth Fairy Accepts Bitcoin!

in #steemit7 years ago

Sometimes a "demonstration of the product at hand" is called for. I am seriously considering a post that very plainly documents the "journey" of 10 SBD from upvotes to payout, to sending it to Bittrex to exchanging it to BTC, transferring the BTC to Coinbase, exchanging BTC to USD, sending the USD to my PayPal and then using my PayPal debit card to buy a Pizza.

Which pretty much SHOULD dispel any notions that this is "Monopoly Money," but more likely will cause people to exclaim... "Oh, that's FAR to complicated!"

Hence... my previous article about people looking for the "easy button." :-D

That sounds like a great article! I remember a few years ago when Alma Sommer crossed the country spending nothing but Bitcoin...

Nothing like teaching by example! :D

"Teaching Examples" are great.

Steem/Steemit are revolutionary in the sense that we have this community attached. I know some people don't like so-called "app coins" but I think it would be a great addition to the Steemit environment to have our own marketplace... and maybe one of these days you can cross the country spending nothing but STEEM!

I did the same but did Coinbase to bank account. However, that takes a few days the first time to get the ACH set up.
