I've been creating video and text content for almost six months now, both here on Steemit and earlier on YouTube. I've accumulated a few Steem Dollars along the way thanks to the awesome community we have here. It got me to thinking though, could I do something practical on our farm with the SBD earned with my content? We do happen to have an upcoming project, some new fencing...
The first step to finding out if it was possible to use Steemit to finance our fencing project was to attempt to cash in our SBD for Australian dollars (AUD). I went through the process of converting my 97SBD to Bitcoin and then to AUD and was quite surprised with the end result. We ended up with around $560AUD at the end of the process, which is about 1/5 to 1/4 of the funds we need to build the fence. How unreal is that! I was more than a little impressed, I have to say.
Here is an overview of the fencing that we want to install for our rotational grazing.
I'd love to hear your ideas on what I could do to make it truly a Steemit Community fence. One of the ideas I had was to put users names on the steel posts if they wanted to donate a couple SBD to the cause, (there'll be at least 50 of those), and a larger tag on one of the big strainer posts if they pitched in more than 5SBD, (8 strainer posts). Would love to hear your thoughts before I kick off the fencing drive.
This community is the BEST!
Cheers,
Dave.
