So at the end of last month I made this post to prove to all the naysayers that STEEM can really actually be converted in to USD and has real value. Because there are a lot of people who aren't making Steemit accounts yet, because they don't understand Cryptocurrencies and think that Steemit is supposed to mail us a check, or ask for our Bank Account info. So I made this just to show everyone that it really has monetary value.

And once I had it withdrawn I got some groceries, and had money left over, then I got paid on the 1st for my Job, and I decided to spend the Steemit money on Rent.
So this month I paid my Rent with Steemit. I even told my Landlord and he thought it was crazy that I made that much money posting online, and he said he is going to join Steemit. So now if anyone asks you what you can do with STEEM, tell them that you know someone who paid their rent by posting on Steemit.
