Thanks for this informative post @firepower. Have you written something about how to convert SBD/Steem into 'real money' because I beleieve there's still a lot of conufsion regarding what to do after you've spent a considerable time here on Steemit and how to get real money. (At least I am still unaware and with so many technicalities thrown at the drop of hat while explaining the whole money concept, I kind of feel lost :/)
