We All STEEM For Ice Cream


My theory is - people get excited about STEEM and Steemit when they see what it can do. A couple of nights ago, I treated family and friends to an "ice cream night" entirely paid for using STEEM! (10 ice cream cones in total.) In doing so, I explained the process of blogging for rewards and then using those rewards to purchase in-real-life things. While the economy of Steemit may still be new to folks, the act of using rewards to purchase real stuff is an exciting thing to watch.

Sitting down around a table and enjoying a delicious proof of concept...

I encourage you all to try the same thing. Folding people into this community will help it grow. A few ice cream cones can go a long way...

Spot on.

Thank you @voronoi for introducing us all to the world of Steem. Your endless patience and generosity is much appreciated. And the ice cream was an added bonus. Steem it up! ;)

So glad to have you on board @wickedcute, it's been fun to share all things steem and ice cream! Steem it up!

Thanks for showing us all about Steem! You may regret all the questions, but we sure are excited!

Haha you guys are already pros! But really, all the questions help me discover better answers!

I wish I was there to ask questions. I hope you are teaching Mad the ways of the steem. Thank you for the mention above. If you ever want to check out FarmJam, I have your ticket waiting. Looking forward to reading more of your posts.

You're already crushing it Jodie!

Mad too! I'm excited to see more from you both. Feel free to ask me anything / message me as questions arise. And absolutely, I'd love to check out FarmJam one day. I'll hold you to that ticket... ;)

I have so many questions. If you don't mind, I guess my biggest question is do I want to be voting on a bunch of things? Each time I vote, is that degrading my voting power? Do I need to be more selective? Also, should I be following a bunch of people or just following the right people?

Ask me anything!

Each time you vote, your vote power does diminish (it replenishes continuously over a 7 day cycle) but... as a new user... you shouldn't worry about power loss just yet! Enjoy voting around and discovering new people. Remember that voting is free (it doesn't cost you any STEEM) and as a voter/curator you actually receive a small % of the post payout. You can make STEEM two ways here, posting content but also by upvoting content.

On followers - Follow people who generate good content / who you'd like to keep tabs on! Discover, explore and enjoy it!

Thanks for the shout out. I'm gonna bug you to help me with post design. Wanna do some science illustration for me? Hopefully I can deliver on those photographs

In my case the ice cream is more than my ordinary job pays, living in a poor country where 6Sbd is your daily wage.
We are makong dreams come true and building better futures for people that have had a bad life.. Cheers to all steemians and much love to all.
I hope we all prosper and grow beyond our wieldest dreams..

Yes, and that it was possible to quit work and live only on earnings from Steеm!

STEEM is making big strides my friend. A better future is within reach!

It's an exciting time to be on the internet, let's work hard to make sure Steemit and STEEM is a success. Cheers!

So much Ice Cream

Sometimes people just want to see things happen and not long complicated explanations. Let them come for the rewards and then stay for the community, and then they can learn all the nitty gritty stuff :)

@voronoi! Just had a huge bowl of ice cream myself! Cheers!

Hahaha, that's the spirit! Thanks @fairytalelife :D

interesting

Nice work

That's a cute of way of bringing people around. As they say, " I scream, you scream, we all scream, ICE CREAM!" Cheers!

Thanks so much @nibzter8! It was fun, we did a good amount of ice cream screaming :D

hahahaha naiseeeeeeeeeee

Couldn't agree more ;)

I need an ice-cream!

I love the way you added crypto currency in your daily life.

I will do same one day with my friends that are in crypto world and then I will do it with family as none of my family member knows what steem or crypto is all about.

Looks I have to show them steemit for sure

Thanks @cryptokraze :) Hopefully one day we won't need to do any adding... it will seamlessly be a part of our daily lives!

Ofcorse it will. Blockchain technology will take over most of main stream industries.

Now you can buy even MORE ice cream with the money of this post :D

Ice cream for everyone!

That upvote to ice cream flow chart is awesome, really cool idea, ice just put a couple cents in your ice cream fund!

@pocketechange

This post really motivates me to Post anything good I have to offer. Why cant facebook or any other social media platform be like this? Rewarding you for sharing what you know. Steemit and the blockchain is the best thing to ever happen to the world period.

Can't reason with ice cream, can we ? :D

I totally want in on the ice cream

great illustration!

I often treated my kids to ice creams. They loved it. May Steem continue the family bonds!

I am hoping this platform can help me with bills and chipping away at my debt avalanche! Or at least give me some beer money! :-). Speaking of that, noticed Summer Shandy is on display at the store, love that stuff! Hopefully Steem can pay for some hehe.

Great job @voronoi! Keep Steeming! :)
