2018 Steem Silver Rounds Have Arrived!

So I have been anxiously awaiting the minting and mailing of the 2018 Steem Silver Rounds, and am happy to report that they have now arrived!

My lame attempt at making the steem symbol:

As you can see from the pictures, the coins look great. The brains and action behind this project is Hive account@sevinwilson who took design submissions before Hive account@welshstacker won the design - hats off to Sevin for making this project go so smoothly and giving the Steem community a great keepsake! After the presale, 1,500 1 ounce silver coins were then struck by the mint, and individually numbered on the side of the coins. A certificate of authenticity comes with each silver round, as well as a quality coin capsule to protect the coin and prevent tarnishing.

I purchased a couple dozen silver rounds with Steem profits. I love Steemit as a concept, as rewarding those who create content (and curate it) is a fantastic benefit for participants, as opposed to Facebook/Instagram/Snap etc who have people creating free content for them, only to monetize it for the company and shareholders. I recognize it is hard to gain traction here on Steemit, no matter how great a content creator you are. I have tried to be consistent over the last year, invested some money in SteemPower to get my account going, and have been blessed to have some great supporters along the way, all of which have allowed me to get to the point that I am able to purchase $750 worth of silver coins with a portion of my Steemit profits. With the recent drop in the Steem price, perhaps it is time for many of you reading this to dabble in a little extra SteemPower (never invest more than you can afford to lose though).

In conclusion, I am grateful to be here and appreciate everyones support. I am here to have fun and enjoy the community, and plan to give some of these coins away so stay tuned.

Take care all,
Brian

PS: As you can tell from this picture, my wife thinks I should have bought her some jewelry or something nice with the steemit profits instead...

You got me honey, isn’t that all you need?
