~TDT~ $10 Tuesday ~ Picking up a little Steem ~TDT~

C’mon it’s only $10... Now would a financial advisor say that to you?? NO!! I said it so that makes me... just that... Me. You be You and I will be I Me?!?!? Whatever, I ain’t no financial advisor alright, let’s just get that “disclaimer” out of the way. This thing we call Ten Dollar Tuesday is just a fun way to get some skin in the crypto game, a little bit at a time. Instead of buying that Starbucks frappo-la-mocachino, stirred at 3 rpm’s for 1/2 hour, re-heated to 102.75 degrees F, with a dash of nutmeg sprinkled on top of the fat free gluten free dairy free free free free whipped free cream.... Buy some crypto. There now all of your coffee ordering problems have been solved and you can take part in $10 Tuesday. Ta-Da

This week I decided to do things a little different. Instead of just feeding money into that fiat currency devouring Bitcoin ATM monster, I decided to... ok I still fed the monster it’s #tendollartuesday snack but I have a little different plan for it this time. I went to Coin Market Cap to see what $10 usd would be in Bitcoin

Hmm not a bad guess, 0.001 BTC is just a touch over $10 usd. This week I figured I was going to buy $10 of Steem utilizing the Bitcoin ATM and Blocktrades. So I cruised over to Blocktrades.us on my phone and initiated a trade from BTC to Steem. One thing I really like with Blocktrades is that you don’t have to send the EXACT amount in order for the trade to go through. Simplicity... After I input my Steem username, I request a deposit address where I will be depositing the Bitcoin I purchase at the ATM. The guy in the store knows exactly why I am here. Lol. I wander to the back and flash that deposit address I received from Blocktrades in front of the camera. Then the monster says, “FEED ME!” So fearing for my life and needing my crypto fix, I feed the beast a little snack.

Welp, that wasn’t quite enough to get me over that 0.001 BTC due to the ATM transaction fees. So I had a $5 bill in my pocket so I gave the monster a little dessert, a cherry on top of you will.

Well it was a little over 0.001 but it is going to have to work. This Bitcoin ATM Monster doesn’t regurgitate change. What you out in is what you out in, the black hole. So I just hit the Buy Bitcoin button and out the door I go. “Welp, See Ya Later” By the time I walked around the building to my truck and checked Blocktrades, the transaction is pending.

Operation $10 Tuesday is complete. Along with my crypto buying addiction satisfied... well not totally, I went in for round 2 and fed the Bitcoin Monster an extra $20 for its troubles. So the Bitcoin Monster is happy, my addiction is satisfied and guess who is waiting to celebrate...

You got that right, the #tendollartuesday cheerleader has once again graced the Blockchain with his/her/it’s presence.

Until Next Time...
