I'm bursting with excitement! Today Steemit went from a virtual reality to a physical one!
How Did Steemit Change For me Today?
A little over a week week ago @papa-pepper contacted me with the news that I was among a group of Steemers that he wanted to send a Steemit Silver Round to. You can read about his community building project here! I picked up the parcel at the post office today and it really has me feeling like part of a world wide community.
Thanks a lot @papa-pepper you're awesome. The silver round is beautiful and a great keep sake. I love the t shirt both for the message and because I've seen videos of you making them yourself! You've been great for Steemit and Steemit has been great to you!
Would You Like to See me Opening The Parcel?
What Has Your Experience Been?
I've seen many posts by @papa-pepper where he has both sent and received parcels from other members of the community.
- Have you received anything by mail from a fellow Steemer?
- Have you ever sent mail to a fellow Steemer?
- Do you see mailing things as a good community builder?
I hope that you enjoyed this article about "Physical Contact in a Virtual World, a Vlog!"
Until next time,
@kus-knee (The Old Dog)
OH YES!!!!! I am so glad that it made it to you my friend! I love taking things offline and physically blessing others! I'll keep you posted on my end!
Thanks again @papa-pepper!
Now this is mind blowing.... I never steemit could get this good.
Its a nice thing to see such great love turning a vitural world into a more physical world.
Congratulations to @Kus-knee and thumbs up to @papa-pepper for the parcel.
I hope we all learn from this.
I will be expecting mine soon.
Surely someone will send you something! Maybe even a gold round! :)
wow.. I really can't wait for the day such love will find me.
Who knows it may even be coming from you @kus-knee the Old Dog.
Cool, this is actually the idea we have in mind to be able to support our friends-artisans from Latin America by sending their beautiful creations to Steemians in exchange of donations. It's great to see that this is already becoming reality :-) saluti da Diana - Lou's wife and @steemitri 's translator/host ;-)
That great! I like your way of thinking and you have been so kind to @steemitri!
Nice hat Old Dog!
Great gifts... I think there will be a whole economy based on blockchain, be it Steem or another one. Steemit is a great example!
Vedremo come cambieranno le cose ;-)
ciao ciao
Hai ragione @steemitri. Vediamo dove siamo tra un anno!
"Don't post for free". 👍
Nice t-shirt.
Yes It is. He did a nice job painting it because there are lighter and darker areas of green and the shading is well done!
I think it's a beautiful idea to make Steemit "physical" by sending each other things... and I believe it could easily become the prototype for an entire Steemit peer-to-peer marketplace... art, handicrafts, goods and services, all bypassing the whole "manufacturer-to-middleman-to-store" thing, and funded with Steem.
I had considered the idea of creating a "Postcard Exchange" on Steemit where members could send each other postcards from all corners of the world... the main issue is to have a safe-- but convenient and easy-- way to exchange addresses.
Lots of other things we could do, too.
Cool hat and shades, by the way!
Thanks for your great ideas. This has been a lot of fun and I sure hope that @papa-pepper gets the package that I sent him. We exchanged addresses in Steemit.chat and his is a p.o. Box so he's set up nicely.
Wow that is really really super exciting. I have never received these types of parcels from fellow steemians but in the near future we will be using these types of sent and received parcel very often.
It's a great idea and if my gift to @papa-pepper arrives I'd like to send more gifts!
Wow friend, very sweet and precious gift you have received from the great steemians of the world. Yes we should not post for free. Thanks for sharing such a beautiful movements with us. Thanks, wish you a very beautiful time ahead my friend.
Thanks so much!
Most welcome my friend, I thought that the old dog was very old, but you are so good and handsome friend, so why did you mention you as old dog. Any way thanks for coming to my post. Wish you a very beautiful time ahead.
Well I'm almost 60 but I guess if someone is 70 I seem young! :)
You are joking, I think you are below 55.It is very good for you, do you take regular exercise?

So cool Old Dog! The t-shirt is great, and the silver Steemit coin, wow, what a cool idea.
Exciting times, things will no doubt get really interesting in the not too distant future :-)
Yes I was really surprised when he informed me of the fact that he'd be sending me this gift. I was really honoured and touched!
So this doubles as a review of postal speed ;)
True. I sent my parcel to him first and he still doesn't have it!
Lol!
but what happens now when the steemit has a new logo?
If I understand right, Steem still keeps the old logo. The Steemit site has the new logo. Another steemian has posted the suggestion that the reason for the change is to better legally distinguish between the two.
You are correct!
Maybe it makes this one more valuable!
you can be wright. i didnt think about that
lucky you !!! what a beauty :-) Horrible when things get lost in the post. I have something like that, i send silver coins from the olympicgames 1980 in russia to someone in Gibraltar, 3 months ago, and the track and trace brings me to where it left Brussel at the customs and then it stops... Horrible !
Sorry to read about your missing gift. I've had similar experiences but I haven't given up hope on this one yet!
Ciao mitico! Bel video! Ti credevo più vecchio dal tuo nickname! :)
Bellissima la moneta di Steemit che hai ricevuto ed anche la maglietta! Grande @papa-pepper!
Non ho mai mandato nulla per posta ma te l'avevo già detto, le mail mi mancano, ma ho contattato un paio di utenti nella chat di steemit, che uso poco ma trovo molto utile!
Ciao @dexpartacus, è fantastico quello che stai facendo per la communità italiana. Nel mio cuore sono un ragazzo ma sono nato nei anni 50!
Ciao! grazie mille! troppo gentile!
Tu stai facendo qualcosa di straordinario! complimenti!
Sembri molto più giovane!Lunga vita a te!!🔝😉
Con Steemit dobbiamo collaborare insieme per avere successo!
Verissimo! l'Unione fa la forza!
How cool that silver Steemit token!
Never send or received something from a Steemian yet. And I indeed think this type of products are indeed very interesting community builders. It shows appreciation for the receiver and that in itself is positive.
I did advise @pollux.one on his new service he is building 'SteemBay' (here) to implement escrow to protect the buyer of physical products since trust is required between the buyer and seller and escrow helps to give that trust.
Hey wow @edje, I'll check out Steembay!
I got a Steemit decal from @raybrockman
You got a decal and a personal visit from @papa-pepper!!!!!!!
How many Steemers have had that?
True... I didn't get the impression that he liked me very much.
Really? The kids still talk about you too! We enjoyed the visit!
Whenever I reply to your posts, you never say anything back. I really liked you and hoped we'd be friends.
My apologies for that. I used to reply to every comment I got, but at some point that became overwhelming.
Congrats Old Dog! You deserve it!! How are you going to show off your Steem coin? I think you can order belt buckles or bolo ties on the internet that you can insert a silver dollar sized coin into.
Good question. I think that I'd like to frame it somehow and have it on then wall in my office. I need to do it in a way that you can see both sides!
Wow that's so great to see : ) thanks for sharing the video
Thanks for having a look!
Exellent title and context @kus-knee
Just having fun like always!
You have amazing titles - N.1
Wow that looks so cool, a friend of mine haves one with a yellow bitcoin coin but the steemit silver one looks cooler.
"Don't post for free".
Yes "Don't post for free"! You got that right. What a great feeling to get paid to comment and interact with so many nice people!
That's cool @kus-knee! I have not received a parcel from the virtual Steemit yet!
Maybe you could send one. It's a lot of fun. I know that @papa-pepper has sent and received seeds for example.
Super cool coin & shirt! I'd definitely rock one of those!
Yes it was a wonderful gesture on the part of @papa-pepper!
You made a Great post about it, vid looks Nice !!
Thanks a lot @livelifefullest!
I did not receive a parcel from the Steimians, but I'm happy for you, it's so nice to receive gifts.
Yes it's always exciting to get a parcel in the mail!
Congratulations @kus-knee! You have received a vote as part of @raserrano donation to this project.

Lots of fun!
ohhh
this is the first time I've heard about this project, Steemit is an amazing platform, every day you discover new stuff it's beautiful
Yes it's a growing community and a game changer in social media!
Nice article dear kus knee, keep on
Congratulations to you!
I wish I had one of those coins 😭😭😭
Have a lovely time Steeming
Resteemed
I imagine that they will be minted again in 2018. In the meantime I think that there are some for sale by other members!
Thank you very much to let me know
I will check for them
Have a lovely time Steeming
You are not that much old, are you??
By the way, every gift brings joy and happiness. Enjoy your silver round.
I'm almost 60 but who's counting?
nice view and interesting too..
Wow...thats great. Best of luck.
Thanks a lot @travelnpal!
That's absolutely amazing. Quite inspiring too! :)
Well, I must say that @papa-pepper has inspired many people on this platform!
Indeed, he has! :) I sometimes wonder how he manages to do everything he does. I have a hard time keeping up just as a bystander while he does so many things! And I've noticed him do cool things for others quite often.
He's an amazing person and a human dynamo!
I don't know how he does it, but more power to him for it :)
He also has 5 young children that he spends a lot of time with!
Yep, the man is an alien. Looks after a family and a farm and still manages to produce more content than I manage to consume...
That is so nice of @papa-pepper ro do that. Yes it is a morale builder and a means to create positive energy. I have seen Steemit as a platform where folks inspire and motivate each other. Friendships devlop, quality content is published and folks are rewarded in so many ways. It is so much more than the money you make. It is the priceless treasures you bring to the table and find in others along your journey. Thanks for sharing.
You're right about that. I've been treated so kindly by so many people!
I agree! Steemit is definitely a motivational and inspirational place to be!
Cool!
You're right. It's so cooool!
@kus-knee,
Wow....sound would be great. Thats looks cool and calm. Quite inspiration tool.
resteemed.
Yes @papa-pepper has a way of inspiring others!
certainly very fun, inspiratif..
Very cool!
Yes, cool and exciting!
nice experince! thanks for sharing
Be cool old dog @kus-knee. Thats absolutely awesome. Great work.
Steem on..
Thanks a lot @kingsberry!
That is very cool, moving from virtual to physical. We in the YouTube community used to do things like this. Exciting times here.
Bellissimo, grazie per condividere questo momento.
Qualche settimana fa ho ricevuto per posta l'adesivo preparato da @airmatti con il logo della Cryptofarm da appiccicare all'auto e ho sentito una grande emozione per un qualcosa di virtuale che improvvisamente era diventato così tangibile! Per di più lo stesso logo mi era stato preparato da una altro Steemian, @pinagpala, attraverso uno steemgig!
Wow, questo mi fa molto piacere. @airmatti è il mio amico e abbiamo una collaborazione con Steemcards. Fantastico!
thats fun! no I didnt receive or sent something :)
I like the Old-Dog's style as well as papa-pepper's!
Awesome.. Vote for you
