Steem Giftcards- Successful purchase!

So, I'm all about seeing Steem get into the world at large. Not just the crypto land, but also into the terrestrial world as well. I'm very keen on the idea that I can live, work, and function off of crypto. I essentially believe the world is run by immoral banksters, and they operate the Federal Reserve. Every time I use a dollar I give it value, and I would prefer alternatives. Another one arrived today.

Just launched their account and their website.

I feel an obligation to try these things

I'm getting witness rewards. I should risk some of those to test things out to help the ecosystem. So, that's what I did. I purchased a $100 amazon gift card. It had $9.95 in fees. At the time I paid 21.8SBD.

I paid using Steem connect. Then nothing happened right away.

A few minutes later

I got confirmation from them by email-

and a few minutes after that I got the actual giftcard.

I passed it along to muh wife, and now we have $100 more sitting in an Amazon account. Seems like an excellent way to turn Steem into tangible goods with just a few clicks.

Nice job @xtrodinarypilot and team.
