Wow that's interesting. Yes, when I tell people, particularly my blogging friends that they can come over here and earn money on Steemit they always ask, "is this real money?"

When I say "yes" and then explain how to convert it to fiat (Bittrex to bitcoin to Uphold to fiat), their eyes glaze over haha

But that's interesting to me, because it shows how early we are in this new economy. If it takes that many steps to convert crypto to fiat, and pay bills (or buy a car) or what have you, and it's ALREADY profitable and working, then imagine what this new economy could be when all the roadblocks are removed? Once bitcoin is easily transferable to any bank, and crypto exchanges are just a part of life for everyone, imagine how much capital will be flowing through these markets?

I'm excited about giving the profits back to the creators of content. The internet age has brought about a world in which writers or content creators have to produce for free, and try to monetize in other ways (indirectly selling books or getting YouTube ad revenue), but now I can see a new age on the horizon in places like Steemit and Brave (basic attention token) where people are paid directly for good content.

I'm just learning about all this but it's very exciting!

I met with a head of the digital nomad group in Paris a few weeks ago, and we decided to do a joint blog article about ways to travel full time and earn a living. I said I'd like to write something on crypto and the possibilities of the space for digital nomads.

Maybe you can contribute too!
