Fellow Steemians,
I'm on vacation with family this week... and as all get-togethers go these days, Steemit has become a BIG TOPIC of conversation! Questions are running wild. So I thought it would be fun to do a little experiment. I'm going to use STEEM to buy everyone ice cream. I'd say it's a pretty delicious proof of concept, right?
This blog post will be used as an example to illustrate how rewards are raised through "upvotes" and engagement with people all over the world. There's a global love of ice cream out there and I hope this post taps into that tasty potential ;)
Step x Step
- First, I'll withdraw $100 SBD from my Steemit wallet
- Send to Bittrex
- Send to my Bitpay Debit Card
- Buy Ice Cream! (Scoop amount and toppings to be determined by parental units)
Here's a pic from "ice-cream night" last year with the nephews. Of course, I'll post a photo of the proof-of-ice-cream once complete!

STEEM on!
Brilliant interlude =) It's great to see examples of people being able to spend their hard earned STEEM / SBD; it really helps to demonstrate that putting time into the platform can result in real-world goods and services - and not just a warm fuzzy feeling from reputation points, karma etc.
Happy gf 19. Stream on for some of that good ice cream friends.
Happy to see you are doing well and I wish you all the best of luck from here on now..
Cheers and much love from me

Hey @vangelov! Thanks for your support :)
He already had 18 girlfriends? Jeez, some people can't get enough!
With the new hardfork, one decent upvote of mine (2,5k SP) has the value of an ice cream! xD
It's wild! This hard fork is pretty exciting :)
ICE CREAM....YOU SCREAM.....WE ALLL SCREAM....FOR ICE CREAM!!!!

Tasty flavors for all!

But I want a bitpay debit card more, I hope someday I can go to cinema, and use it to buy a popcorn, looks cool
It's not bad I've had it for a few months now, pretty easy to get started with one

Hard Fork 19 is the best :D
I like it!
If you can get more of your family members on Steemit, we'll gladly take them!
Thanks @donkeypong! We've already got a few who have signed up ;)
(Actually everyone just got their computers out now, haha. We're having fun.)
@donkeypong this is my first day on steemit thanks to my awesome family member @voronoi
We are all trying to figure it out. He's teaching us well!
Around $160 worth of ice cream that you can buy with that.
Send me some if you can.
By mail is preferable.
Haha we're gonna eat a lot of ice cream... there are 8 kids here!
If there's extra scoops I'll mail you some :)
Wish I had some ice cream right now, over 30°C and learning 🙇
But at least it's worth it .
I would like ice-cream too...
A great way to find out how the award system works in Steemit!
Thanks! I think so, it's been a fun experience and way to get folks interested in the platform here :)
and i like to vannila ice cream for steem tonight, heheh lol
We sure can affrd daily ice creams due to the new update..win win for all and adds more value to out steemit organisation. Fired up and ready to go
Sounds good I want some ice cream with Steem as well!!
Lol! @voroni, I wish I was there to enjoy some of those ice-cream.
Steem On!!!
Love it @voronoi. Who doesn't like Steem ice cream :)
Exactly! Thanks @sandstorm :)
Haha, your welcome.
This is great! Thank you for laying out the step-by-step process of using SBD to buy things. It's amazing in this day and age that we can buy physical objects with "digital currency." I'm looking forward to the future of Steemit and buying some ice cream!
I found this super helpful!
What a time to be alive--seriously!
Splurge for the waffle cone.
Steem=ice cream! I can't think of a better use of crypto currency than that. If you want to add another level of technology you can order some of the best ice cream in the world at www.eCreamery.com and have it shipped to you.
Dawwwwwwwwwwwwww
Enjoy your icecream 🍦 and then steem on 💨
Heh, I hope to do this one day too, but i'll be buying a camera first, make sure steemit gets handled..
I hope the ice cream was tasty
I STEEM, you STEEM, we all STEEM for ICE CREAM!
This is great explanation. The graphic and description are right on point! Keep on steeming!
Great read. Follow me for the latest tech headlines from my paid subscription to the Wall Street Journal.
See, I'm new here but this is brilliant. I think ultimately it should be the goal of every social media network to offer users the chance at getting ice cream. I feel so uplifted by this post. Day = made.
Steemit is great! Enjoy your icecream :)
Bon appetit! Great proof on concept for Steemit.
You are being followed by a coin puppet!
Please follow it back ;)
yo, send some of that ice cream to Uganda please :)
Congratulations @voronoi
