Our little group of @steemitfamilyph was about 10 people active last October and thinks just got crazy the start of year when we posted some of us cashing out a little for some holiday cheer and we posted it on Facebook how with enough work, creativity and showmanship you can earn money.

We showed how fast it was to convert SBD to BTC to local currency in less than an hour to claim it physically. ( depositing it to a bank takes 3 business days and one bank even had the gall at that time to say that accounts showing BTC in nature transaction will be asked to be "voluntarily" closed.

The banking institutions are shaking in their breeches haha!

So from 10 people we are about almost a 100 active people now and some of the earlier people that joined first got their pay out already a couple days ago and cashed out and again made testimonials that Steemit is the real deal!! I personally would have powered up but they got bills to pay.

Word of mouth is strong! We are powering up our main account to help these planktons grow, make sure content is good and reward those and create a cycle of earning, either powering up or cashing out and spreading the word out!

Hopefully by end of the year we at 500 or more members!
