I just got my very own Steemit t-shirt!

Checking my mailbox tend to be a very dull activity where I either just get spam mail, or bills that I need to pay. However, after ordering a Steemit t-shirt two weeks ago, checking my mail to see if a package had arrived became a lot more exciting.

Anyway, it was waiting in my mailbox when I came home yesterday, and I wanted to post about it, but since it's so dark here in Norway now, I decided to wait until today in order to take a picture with better lightning. Anyway, I think the shirt looks really great, and I'm very happy about the purchase.

How I got the Steemit t-shirt

One of the cool things about the t-shirt is that it is not all that easy to get your hands on one. There was only made 100 copies of this design, and they used to be sold by @babsboard a little while back. I never took it upon myself to order one, and before I knew it they had stopped with the orders, and it was too late to buy one.

However, two weeks ago @onebitnews had teamed up with @babsboard and got 5 more t-shirts that they wanted to sell. @onebitnews is a magazine that publishes exclusively on Steemit, and they create a lot of good content. They will post a new magazine sometime tonight (probably in a few hours from now), and they also award good comments like I do, so check it out!

The price for one t-short including shipping was 30 Steem, at that time worth around $200. That's not cheap for a t-shirt by any means!

The cool part about buying something from at @babsboard is that you get cashback in the form of upvotes. Here's how it works:

1. I order something (in this case a t-shirt) by writing a comment.
2. @babsboard (or in this case @onebitnews) confirms the purchase.
3. I send the Steem to them.
4. They upvote my purchasing comment, and send me the thing I bought!

Up close look at the logo. It looks very good on the print.

What is really cool is that due to the high value of the SBD, my comment got a reward that was higher than what I paid for the t-shirt. In total I got paid 47 Steem from the comment after having converted SBD to Steem, so I made a 17 Steem profit on buying this t-shirt. That's not a bad deal at all!

Here is the original post where I made the purchase. A lot of it is in Norwegian, but some users also post in English.

Steem and Steemit has such a huge potential

It's really cool to see that my Steem got turned into a physical object, and not only did I purchase it entirely with Steem, the comment that was used for the purchase even made me profit from it! This goes to show just how much potential the Steem blockchain has when it comes to trade, so let's never forget that it is so much more than a platform for blogging on!

Thanks for reading about my t-shirt. Make sure to check out @onebitnews who partnered up with @babsboard to sell this nice t-shirt, and join the @onebitnews community.

Below is a new piece of information I plan on including in all my future posts, but I might change it a bit. Let me know if you guys think this is a good thing to include, but keep in mind that it is aimed at people who see my posts for the very first time.
