Isn't it awesome? that krrr sound an atm machine makes while withdrawing cash... uhmm... it's pleasant to my ears... like it was telling me.. "Congrats on your steemit cashout! Keep steeming!"
Yes, I just did cashout most of my SBDs.
How did I cashout my sbd?
I read this @jemmanual's post on how to withdraw earnings using blocktrades and followed his tutorial. I sent 20 STEEM to @blocktrades using a memo generated on https://blocktrade.us after pasting my Coins.ph's ETH Wallet Address.
after a few minutes, the transaction reflects on my Coins.ph's ETH Wallet. Then I converted all of my Etherium balance to Philippine Peso (our country's currency).
and then I transferred it to my Gcash Account. Why? Because I can only withdraw cash using my Gcash Mastercard.
Yep! My 20 STEEM is equivalent to 1,968 PHP only.
Maybe many of you wonders, why withdraw my steemit earnings while sbd's price is at its low rates? I know it's a bad idea but I don't have a choice.. I badly need cash.
I still have 20 steem dollars left on my account. I decided not to withdraw it again on blocktrades, and sell it instead.
Why sell my SBD?
I'm pretty sure that SBD's price will rise sooner or later. So, I decided to sell my remaining Steem Dollars so that whosoever buys it, will earn some profit when SBD's price value goes up, up, up!!!
I sold my 20 SBD to @meetmysurperego for only 2,000 Pesos. That's right! She sent her payment to me on my gcash account.
Thanks to @meetmysuperego for fast transaction!!
And then, I was able to withdraw my "steemit earnings" physically..haha...
Hurray!! I got real cash on my hands!
What makes me force myself to withdraw my balance while SBD's price is still low?
As much as I want to HODL my balance... I withdrawn it because of kids' needs to pay their school tuition fees. Yes, they still have remaining balances. We still have to pay some miscellaneous fees and installment tuition fees. Their school administrator approaches me last Monday, that my kids cannot take their final exams if I'm not going to settle my balance and thus, they won't be able release their report cards. That time, I asked them to let my kids take their final assessment and I promised to settle my balance this week. (Actually, I was just waiting for SBD's price to go up that time). But since I promised to pay for it this week, I decided to withdraw my steemit earnings with "hard feelings".
I kept the half to pay for my kids' school fees.
Just last friday, their teacher gave me the result of my son's exams. Look how great they've done!
Hey mother's out there! I know you know how I feel... I'm so proud of them! even on their smallest achievements... it inspires me.. they inspires me! If you have a smart kid doing great in school, why not pay their school fees? it's worthy! this time, I can say to myself that my hard works were really "paid off"!!
So, using the spare money I have, I decided to bring them out to the mall and treat them. They deserve a treat!
We ate on their favorite fastfood store.
I'm so happy to share this to you guys. Nothing to boast.
This is to motivate you guys to keep steeming! Keep digging! You'll see, all the hard works will be paid off!! ;)
