Today I received my first money in my PayPal account.
And they were from Steemit.
I didn't withdraw all of my money...
I could decide to invest in Steem, so I'm actually not going to redeem all of my money. But I wanted that "prize" everyone wants here on the platform.
The prize that makes you feel everything you're doing on Steemit is real and touchable.
You can buy things with it.
You can have BTC with it.
You can real dollars, euros or any currency you want with it.
And that is the best feeling you can have when you failed on most of the earning platform on the net (cough... yeah, that's me).
... and sadly
Sadly, just right now, the steem value is falling down.
I mean really falling down. At this moment, it's lower then 0.85$ (meaning 1SBD is worth 0.60$).
So, when I redeemed, I didn't receive 10$ of course.
I received 6,40$ that, with applicated taxes (kind Paypal and kind other sites), turned out to be a net withdraw of 5.56$.
EDIT: I'm still not sure why they become so little.
How did you do that??
I used three websites to have my money directly on PayPal.
The first one is BlockTrades. Here you can swap Steem Dollars for BTC (bitcoins) without registering any account. You'll be asked to send the choosed amount of money to 
The second site is, of course, my wallet. I choose blockchain.info for that purpose.
The third and last one is Exchagemycoins. It allows you to swap BTC for USD dollars directly to your Paypal.
I'm not sure about taxes involved in the process, but I suppose they're not so high.
Conclusion
I don't know what's next for me.
I'm adding Steemit to my "start from my 18yrs old birthday earning plan" and I hope it'll work, but as far as now I think I'll just continue to have fun in the community with so many awesome people.
