Some weeks ago I discovered that there is a place that lets me
Make something real out of STEEM:
homesteaders coop/ @homesteaderscoop.
I wanted those chickpeas from @bghandmade, so I started to save up 8 STEEM. After mentioning the idea in a post support came in:
Biggest thanks go to @akipponn who didn't hesitate to transfer 4 STEEM in support of the project.
Also thanks to generous votes from @c0ff33a, @prinzvalium, @vander, @streetstyle, @irreverent-dan, @nikokafka, @tonyz, @fcdvpds, @silverbug, @rossfletcher, just to mention a few (and thanks also for the continous votes!).
So, I had the 8 STEEM and headed over to homesteaders
coop's shop, just to discover that I still can't afford postage...
And that's when it really turned beautiful:
I received this message from @bghandmade:
I went over and ordered! Next I read this post on their blog. The whole family worked together sorting, counting and packaging! I felt that I had become part of something special, and something indeed special did arrive today:
Aren't they absolutely beautiful?!
Thanks to @sagescrub and @bobydimitrov for making this possibe!
So now they are going into the soil, and if everything goes well I will have
earned food by posting my pictures, making STEEM and spending it.
This is so real!
And who knows, maybe the crypto-chickpeas will make history? I hope not like the 1 BTC Pizza, but rather as:
THE PROOF-OF-CHICKPEAS!
I'll keep you updated on the progress of the #cryptopeas!
