You might be surprised to know, that I’ve never heard of David Beckham. Well, now I have. I had to look him up. Not impressed:)
You’re absolutely right about Facebook and Instagram. I am sending all this content through their platforms and getting advertised to. As a painter, I always hope to gain a toehold for success at selling some work.
Not a chance. Not anymore anyway.
However, 6 years ago, through Facebook, I “met” several painters who have enriched my life tenfold. Now that those friendships are nurtured, it is difficult to leave. There (and Instagram) is where I see their work and support them. I will try to bring them into Steemit. I tried before with a friend in Saint Petersburg. Attempting an explanation of the concept of blockchain rewards in translation, especially when I know so very little about it myself, well...
Not an easy sell. But I’m a firm supporter, even if I haven’t cashed in penny in crypto or USD. The concept is Greek to me, at present.

Yes, the vibes are good here. Very good.

Oh, haven’t you 😱 He owns Inter Miami football club so I thought you might have heard of him as somebody based in America.

It will be great if you can bring more artists to the platform and especially get some to join our WORLD OF XPILAR community.

It is definitely not the right time to cash Steem as the price is low. You need an account on Binance or similar where you have a crypto wallet. Some choose to invest in other cryptos in the top one hundred. Others cash into their bank accounts which can be a bit tricky depending on where you live. As you mentioned you have a friend in Saint Petersburg, assuming in Russia, they have different laws and restrictions there which make it much easier for them to cash Steem in their own currency. We here in England used to be able to do that but many were using this opportunity to purchase illegal goods so this is not possible any more. Now we need to go through another app e.g. SwissBorg to be able to transfer some GBP to a bank account. It is quite of a process but there are plenty of manuals online and please be aware of the taxes and charges so a withdraw makes sense in the end of the day. So you need to do some research and then have a serious think about what you really want to do with your crypto as the more you have here on the platform earns you more 💁‍♀️

Thank you for sharing this information. I do need to spend some time reading up on exchange procedures. Supreme crypto ignorance has fed my already cautious behavior. So I’ll just continue to power up until I’m an Orca.
I think I have a ways to go:)

🤩 I love the sound of that #orca 👏 The more orcas the more self-sufficient our community will be. I will also continue to grow my account ⬆️ I don’t have much to power up at the moment but the more often you post the more likely it is to get noticed and upvoted so I will keep sharing my content here. I am currently working on another recipe of the month post which I should go live with tomorrow.

Recipes! I look forward to them! For several years I was a cook who got paid. Now I just cook for free, and therefore free to make more mistakes:)

🤩 How very interesting! What type of cuisine were you cooking when you were getting paid? Have you thought of opening your own restaurant? I sometimes say that I want to have a food truck. But for me cooking has never been a job. I have watched professional chefs prepare food in hotel restaurants. I have always been more interested in the food and beverage department compared to the housekeeping for instance. I also love taking photos of food.

I worked in American rinky-dink restaurants, however, received an excellent self-taught education while cooking for one of them. The boss let me experiment freely, and I took up a great interest in fine cookery, even if the restaurant served American steak and baked potatoes. I was making tangines for specials—had my little corner in the refrigerator for preserved lemons. For a decade or more I would use Gastronomique as my pillow.

That sounds great 🧑‍🍳 You were lucky having the opportunity to experiment. Even right now I have a jar of preserved lemons in my fridge so I reckon I am heading in the right direction 😉

I never said I was a good cook:)
