here's another great STEEMIT story linking the "crypto world" to the "physical world". I mean, what good is STEEM if you can't use it to buy groceries or pay the rent, right...?
So, for you, the new Steemit user reading this now, today is May 19th, 2017 and this is the day when I paid my rent with Steem. I paid my rent with money that I made on Steemit, by doing things I love and enjoy, such as writing and reading articles, debating and having pleasant discussions with other members of this community. Today is the day that Steem has gained my full trust and I will do my best to let everyone know about it.
