About a week ago when i told some of my friends about steemit, "this amazing site, where you can help a comunitty grow by just sharing your ideas or what you are interested in, and earn some money while doing it." They thought it was some kind of scam. Now that I could make some money without investing more than time, every single one of them wants to be part of this. I decided to throw a Powered by Steem party with only 6$ and serve frozen mojitos, so i stared talking about my new addiction all night, they were still skeptical, until i told them that the drinks were on Steem, if you could had seen the look in their eyes...
They were amazed and started making all kind of questions about the Steem, amidst all the talk these questions kept emerging, **where does the money come from?** **Did you seriously get paid??**
The first was kinda hard to explian because they don't know anything about the cryptocurrency world and a lot of people in Steemit seems to disagree, so i explained the system as simple as i see it, in a financial way it's just a matter of perspective, the price of things is based on the interest in them. And as long as people trust and believe in the Steem currency so there could people investing it it, everything will be alright. Now they're 100% in this, and very excited to start.
For the second question i just traced the Bittrex wallet using the blockchain, really easy to confirm the payment.
And yes, you could say that 6$ isn't a great thing but note that the **minimum wage here is 15$**, this is my first succesful story using steem, and for me, sharing the profits with my friends could be more beneficial in the long run because more and more people will join the community after hearing about this.
So, what you're waiting for?
Here's to Steemit, Cheers!
