RE: Just gave $23 to some people in need out on the streets of San Diego, CA + EOS Mobile/ EOS shapes electric Car in Rich the Kid & Kendrick Lamar Music Video "New Freezer" + Sold $200 worth of EOS & ADA CASH at Spot Locally instead of using Bitpay/BTC

Oh my goodness. Do you feel like taking my son some cash in National City? It would be mine lol. I can transfer you the sbd or steem and you can take it to him in USD.

He is most definitely in need, and can pose for photos lol. He's a good kid with ptsd in a long term mess and trying to get out. He lives in a sober living place near the Walmart at Highland and 16th. This place is nice but always something going on. This week it is mice and they are all fighting to get rid of them. But normally, it's just a bunch of guys trying to fix their lives to varying degrees. I think there is 12 men in this place.

I already had cash taken to Caleb by @mariannewest recently and blogged about it here.

She is out in bonita though, so if you are anywhere near National City EVER - you can help me so much. Someone on Twitter called us "crypto-anarchists" for our ability to make cash move at steemit. I still don't have a wallet anywhere but steemit, but I do have some money now!!!

Other than that - more power to you, brother. Both Caleb and I have been homeless in San Diego. Things are not getting any better from what I see from there. I am now in Bangkok with very bad memories and just praying for the place in general. Good for you for helping people. They sure need it.

Sorry i am not very close to national city at all, and I also don't quite understand why I would even be needed? But I appreciate you thinking of a way to get more pictures for this project, but I also I dont think you will want to pay the fees to convert SBD to Bitcoin, and then Bitcoin to Bitpay debit card which is very high now on bitpay AND the ATM withdrawl fee of a few bucks. and pay for my time, because thats the only way i can withdraw cash, and its quite high the bitpay fee that is, especially for smaller amounts which is also a good reason to not withdraw any cash, its best to just have him use steem and not use cash and to just get a BitPay debit card or a Coinbase account to use with a bank account just for crypto, he could get everyone where he is at to use steemit esteem app on their phones and use that as a wallet, and you can also buy him GYFT apps to buy stuff at many stories like wholefoods and grocery stories and many many other popular stores using Bitcoin that you can buy with SBD using blocktrades,

ALSO you know there are Bitcoin Dealers who actually make it their business to drop off Cash when you send them Bitcoin? Just contact a LocalBitcoin.com dealer you find on localbitcoin.com san diego section and set up a trade and let them know you can send them their bitcoins when they arrive and they can just hand the cash to your son , and the Guy I used called "Look No Further" was doing like 5% i think now probobly more like 7% and was able to drive to wherever you needed him to, so that would proboibly be your besty bet for this service, but yeah i can't -dothat as i dont have the extra Fiat or extra BTC to do trades like that sorry, but you have to learn to use other walletsother than steemit othrwise how are you cashing in on selling SBD for the high prices? U know its like $11 per SBD on bittrex right now? U can make so much now and he should be able to post on steemit and make a lot from his story! u know i will upvote him!

I did setup http://localaltcoins.co but no one wants to use it. dunno why, peopel can just post trades for Steem to Cash or Cash to Steem without needing an echange peopel should just tradewith each otehr especially steem for bitcoin. that is important to trade WITHIN steem untill steemit gets it together and actualy has Bitcoin in the internal exchange !

Anyway just text me if u want help learning how to convert SBD to cash, i am sorry i made you think i would be able to function as an exchange for cashing out SBD, butw e WILL have services like that soon where youll be able to make money helping people buy ro sell steem or SBD! @jerrybanfield talked about it as a new feature badly needed in next hardfork,. ad we DO need that DEX for steemit BADLy

I also wanted to tell u that yoru son should buy an AMERICAN EXPRESS SERV CARD because with THAT We can send CASH to him on that card from Anotehr american exprss serv cardusing a simple app, and HE can send his earned Steem;SBD to you ro an exchange we wnan setup, where u send SBD to a bota nd it recharges your SERV cartd since SERV cads let u do Fiat to Fiat free transactions between serv cards! @captainobviou3 was gonna testit out and we just have to find a store locator for them to find out which stores they sell them in besides CVS

Yikes! So much information!

I have tried and failed to open a wallet here in Thailand so far. My son has a coinbase with money in it that he cannot get out of so far.

But now you have all these ideas! Wow. I will read closely and see what I can come up with. Thank you so much!

www.coins.co.th and ifmtou need a debitmcard, you can get a virtual debit mastercard card using mpay app, it has an English option. Coins.co.th requires very little verification to set up and use but is only for btc. You can even use it to pay bills etc Hope this helps

It does! Thank you so much. I will get myself onto this. I know converting to btc is common, and then going from there. I surely need to figure this out soon :)

using coins.co.th you can withdraw the bitcoin in cash at a thai bank without even holding an account, pay the electric and water bill through their site with one click and topmup your mobile !

Well, I do have a Thai savings account with a dr card, so I hope that will be seamless. I'm just waiting to be approved (I hope). I'm looking forward to paying with this though. I have not managed to sign up to see my bank account online so I have to go to the atm to check my balance lol.

❤️❤️❤️National City❤️❤️❤️

I will be in the San Diego Area for Christmas and can drop $$ after the 26th.

I don't know how to message-but teach me how and I'll be happy to help. Of course only if the OP can't. ❤️❤️❤️

lol - not like my son does not need money constantly! What a nice trip for you. We can make any arrangement that suits your timing.

I'm not in messaging either, but my email is [email protected] Please send me an email and let me know details and I'm sure you can do this if you want to. I will definitely post about it and post pics if you send them :)

Thank you so much for offering. I have been sending though paypal or western union and it's terrible on fees.

I emailed you ❤️
