Lol, I remember taking a group of 10 people to the fanciest steakhouse in town.
Let them order anything they wanted.

Bill came out to $590 total. I asked the manager to give me his bitcoin address
Gave him 3/4ths a bitcoin and told him he could keep the change.
I prearranged this with the manager and had set him up with an account at MtGox

My friends shut up about bitcoin at that point. Especially when I told them I had mined it a year or two before at home on my gaming rig. (this was a few years ago).

I'm guessing steemit will do the same.
