Hello dear friends and new faces, I hope today will be your lucky day!

I've decided to start a mini-contest series to spread a little positive energy through the blockchain and charge up my good karma to hopefully bring me some luck and prosperity!

Don't worry, this is all good news for you too, loyal readers ;)

I'd love to share some prosperity with you!
_{This is something I might do every 2 weeks or so if there is enough support and entries :)}

How this Works

I will pick a theme for discussion, ask a question for you to answer in the comments, and when this post is 5 days/120 hours old I will pick a winner from the comments with a random comment picker.

Upvote and resteem is NOT required for the draw or to win Hive account@steem-bounty rewards

However,

I will also draw another winner when the post pays out in 7 days to win a secondary prize, and in order to qualify for that draw you will need to have a valid comment posted before payout as well as upvoted the post. You will get an additional entry into the second draw if you have also resteemed this post.

What you need to do

First Winner

Engage with me in the comments about the topic of discussion, don't forget to answer the question - there are no right or wrong answers!
- You have 5 days to get your comments in. I will edit this post when the deadline is up and also have a countdown running on SteemPeak
Only 1 main comment per person, please! That means only replying to the post once, but sub-comments, which are replies to reply comments, are totally OK though!
Upvote and resteem not required but very much appreciated as it will help to fund more of these contests!

To qualify for the 2nd draw on post payout:

Engage with a quality comment; if you've already replied to this post then that comment qualifies - remember only one main comment per person (but you can reply to as many comments as you like - engaging is the best way to network and grow your account!)
You must have upvoted this post to qualify for the second draw.
You can get an additional entry into the second draw if you've also resteemed this post.

So, if you comment, upvote and resteem all within the first 5 days (120 hours) then you are good to go for both draws and only need to come back to check if you've won!

I will mention all winners of the first draw in a comment on this post, as well as edit the post and reply to the winner's comments.

Since the second draw will be made after the post pays out, I will make a Winner's Announcement post!

^{(steemworld.org/@yourusername has a 'mentions' page where you can check for any mentions, there is also Ginabot on Discord that you can set up to alert you about mentions too!)}

If you've come to this post late, you can still qualify for the second draw after the 5th day if you follow the above guidelines.

So, let's begin!

`This Week's Topic:` - `What do you do with your crypto?`

 It took me about 3 months doing tons of different faucets all day everyday before I accumulated a substantial amount of Crypto to be able to do anything substantial with it.

 The first thing I did was play a crypto micro-casino.  This is a casino that deals only with crypto and has a few different games to play. 
I was not a fan of the 'dice sites' that focus solely on the dice game where you have to decide if you'll roll a number higher or lower than a target.. To me that was boring! I like games with more strategy and choices involved, like Blackjack is one of my favorite card games and I like casinos that have different BJ varieties.

     Then I started using crypto exchanges, not for arbitrage, but since I was focusing on collecting a few select coins only, when playing faucets sometimes I'd accumulate coins I didn't really have the collection built up for, so I'd trade them in for the ones I was growing a stockpile of!

    Once I sold $60 worth of BTC on [Paxful](https://paxful.com) via e-transfer - it was all collected from faucets so it was all a complete profit!  $60 may not sound like a whole lot, considering it took awhile to accumulate that amount of BTC, but $60 is quite a large amount for me especially making that kind of money totally free!

Now it's your turn! Please elaborate on your answers and use my above example as a guide; one sentence answers won't be able to win the draw(s) nor qualify for the bounty rewards!

You can use the template below! Questions in the brackets '(())' are just ideas to help you make a qualifying answer:

How do you spend your crypto?

(( What are your main sources of acquiring your crypto? Or How did you first get started with crypto? Do you have big plans and currently HODL it all or do you use it on a daily basis?
If STEEM was your first introduction to crypto and you're still new, that's fine, just tell me what you do with it or what you plan to do!
Anything else you can thing of on-topic, the more the better!))

If you win, who is the STEEM user you'd like to sponsor 1 SBI unit to?
(( Hive account@steemusername of the person sponsored in your name ))
