Edit 2: Survey is for Nigerian users. Not upvoting others.
Please consider voting for me as witness!
No, But have used a lil portion of my crypto to buy some steem before.
No, because shipping down here takes too long and more expensive than the price of the product.
Yes, from a local bank.
Yes, a MasterCard but always getting rejected due to gateway or third-party technical issues from local banks.
Not so meaningful but better than nothing.
Yes, and yes again.
Thanks @oluwoleolaide, just let me wait out the 15 minute timer and I'll give you my vote.
Alrite good noble friend.
On 6 - What if shipping is still just as expensive as with Amazon?
Well it won't seem that expensive once its not in fiat, the conversion rate kills!
Lol, this survey is somehow, buh yeah, ill give it an go..
Yes and it was quite easy, we have got a lot of escrows, OTC desks, crypto 2fiat and crypto to crypto exchanges, some currently processing about $1m monthly now.
Yes, bought some steem on binance around September last year, though used it for trading.
Yes, buh unsuccessfully, to order from amazon, some extra steps have to be followed, I keep messing up and my orders canceled or not delivered. We have our own african shopping sites tho, jumai, konga, payporte, shopnow, etc
Yeah, from my bank.
Nah, most of us wont have that, the debt is monstrous.
Somewhat meaningful, its helped a lot, I prefer the engagement and the fact that I've made a lot of connections and friends, learned a lot about crypto through steem.
Yes! Mehn, if an easy way to buy goods with steem was available and the goods needed were available, that market would boom in nigeria at top speed.
Fun survey @demotruk!! Lemme go share it.
Joss I've been trying your number since morning. Not been connecting.

6: Yes, I used to

Thank you 🤗
Yes, I have bought bitcoin. It was easy, and it was also expensive.
Yes, I have bought Steem. It was easy for me, and not as expensive as when I was buying bitcoin.
Personally, I haven't bought any products from Amazon. It takes quite a long time for it to be shipped here, so I prefer local e-commerce sites.
Yes, I have a debit card.
No, I don't have a credit card.
Currently, not so much. But I made good (great in fact) money when I first joined late last year.
Yes. I would love to
1, Yes I have bought bitcoin
2, Yes I've bought steem.
3, No I've not bought yet from amazon. But I've bought from Jumia and the likes
4, Yes I do have a debit card (my ATM card)
5, No I don't have a credit card.
6, Relatively, any earnings is "meaningful". I'm actually on steemit for the community. So I feel satisfied with any earnings that come my way.
7, I think the future of e-commerce hinges on cryptocurrency. And I strongly believe that steem is a major player in this. I've actually used my steem earnings to buy goods (though not on an online e-commerce platform), but I'm in for that. I'll use my steem earnings to trade on online e-commerce platforms, and buy goods. And I think it is welcomed
1.No.I could buy it easily by market.
2.No.I could buy it easily by market.
3.No.because he produce great products.
4.No.i have no debit card.
5.No.I have no cradit card.I puchase things with money.
6.Yes of course.
7.No.I dont like online shopping.
Yes,the first time was extremely hard and expensive with high risk of even getting scammed.I am not a fan of btc anyway so I don't buy it anymore except if am to exchange another crypto for it
Yes,twas easy because I already had bitcoin/eth...So I used it to buy steem easily on exchanges or within friends for fiat.
Yes... My only problem with amazon is the over 3 weeks it takes for the package to get delivered.
I had... Misplaced it 2 months ago but haven't gotten a new one.... I use my close friend @gprince debit card
NO
No...i use bots most of the time
No....even if it's an easy payment option...I won't!
• Yes. There are hosts of third-party services available. But as usual, the cuts for commission is a bit off, but they work.
• Never bought Steem. Earned.
• Amazon? Nope, never bought a thing on Amazon. Really do not trust services asking for my debit card details. Or maybe I'm just not patient enough to understand the process.
• Yes I have a debit card.
• I do not own a credit card.
• Meaningful is rather subjective. I'd say "very meaningful" if we were back in December 2017. Now, I still earned a pretty decent amount of Steem with a lot less value. But it's just enough to get by. I'm good.
• It's a lot better than revealing my debit card details. So yes, I would buy stuff on Steem!
•1 Yes, buying bitcoin was one of the easiest thing. One of my coursemates was a dealer.
2• Yes, during the Yuletide last year when the markets where green, I also made a lot of profits from buying and selling steem.
•3. No, I have never tried to buy from amazon. I haven't really had a need though.
•4. Yes I have a debit card(s)
•5. No, I don't
•6. I have made, in the past, the current situation is not encouraging.
•7. If I ever have the need to, I would if there is an available medium to do so.
a. Yes, it was easy.
b. Well, it depends on the conversation rate of USD to The Nigerian Naira.
a. Yes, it was easy.
b. Also depends on the conversation rate of USD to The Nigerian Naira.
a. Yes, just delay in delivery.
Yes, I do have a debit card.
No, I don't have a credit card.
No
Yes I could where needs be.
Interesting @demotruk,
No I have never bought bitcoin. I didn't have the fiat to buy it, but I think if I had the fund I would have bought and it would be easy to get.
Nope, I have never bought steem. Again didn't have the fiat to buy it and am sure that it would have been easy to buy.
Nope!! Am not really funned of purchasing things online.
Nope.
Yes I have a credit card, but have not tried using it online.
Not really, am still struggling to make something meaningful on steem.
Yes, I can try it, if the opportunity comes. 😄
No, I don't think I could buy it easily because converting naira to dollar aren't that easy since my phone is really bad and it selective of the apps that would work on it.
No, I don't think I could buy it easily because I don't have the money. Am a broke ass niqqa.
No, the fact still remains am a broke ass niqqa so what can I afford to buy on amazon when I gat no money. Like a saying in my country (na person wey chop beleful dey buy things online) meaning it only when you financially okay that when you could think of buy stuff online.
Yes, from a local bank and it as even expired and I haven't collected another one simply because I don't have any money in the bank.
No I don't.
Not to tell lies I don't make meaningful money on Steem because getting the Steem itself isn't a easy task, but basically I would love to but presently am not.
I won't use my steem earnings to buy goods online but I will use it to help myself out of this financial shit I found myself in.
Yes, I bought and it was easy.
No, and I think it is easy to buy.
No, I haven't really got the need for anything on Amazon.
Yes, I do
No, I don't.
No, but it hasn't been useless either.
Yes, I could.
yes via a known market LUNO, somewhat similiar to localbtc and yes it was easy and trusted
yes via an escrow service last year October, some weeks before the bull run but traded it before the bull run
wish I hodlNo I haven't, due to transportation fee and delivery process
yes I do have a debit card
No, I don't have a credit card
Not really but okay, although I have been able to trade with some of my earnings and steem was actually what brought me into the whole idea of cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology
yes definitely, with the fast transaction process it would be a dream come true.
This deserves to be resteemed.
Resteemed!
yes, it was quite expensive as I had to pay with Naira which was N365 .
Yes, it was quite easy, because I was already earning on Steemit. So I just used my sbd payout to buy, and there was no transaction fee
No, shipment is a problem in Nigeria
Yes
No
No, data cost in Nigeria is high and the payout is a bit low for newbie like my self, I believe it will get better.
Yes, I remember buying a wrist watch from a steemian with steem. He sent the wrist watch and I paid in steem. It felt good😁
No I've not bought bitcoin and I also think I can buy it easily.
No, I've never bought Steem.
No I've not because it's not really been long I embraced technology and the Blockchain.
Yes I do.
No I don't have yet.
The word meaningful, I would say yes to some extent but there is always crave for more.
Definitely yes.
Thank you @demotruk for the survey.
Yes it was easy, I just used luno wallet and buy direct from my bank but the charge was too much and I believe buying Steem then convert to bitcoin on bittrex or blocktrade is easier.
3 No, I usually convert the cash to my friends with a dollar account to make the purchase for me and ship to my address.
4 yes.
No
Yes I work full time on Steem.
I think yes. But I hope to see more mainstream online stores accept Steem.
1a. Yes, it was very easy
1b. It was not expensive then, i bought it very cheap before it sky rocket around August 2017.
Yes, it was not expensive. i bought when it was around 0.98$.
Nope i haven't tried buying from Amazon at all. I dont see any reason yet because i havent gotten need of any product there or majorly because we have local online shopping platform here that will get my product delivered fast and more cheaply.
YES
Yes. I have not had any problem with it when shopping online.
The money i am making from steemit has been helping my life, so i will say YES.
Yes if the need arises
