Yes, totally! I think that withdrawing my Steem Dollars and converting them into Bitcoin somehow made it more tangible for me. Before, it was hard to grasp what STEEM and Steem Dollars were. Some kind of pretend toy currency, maybe, like the one you use to buy power-ups in mobile games? Now, seeing the number in my Bitcoin wallet, knowing that I can spend it anywhere in the world or convert to some other currency (crypto or fiat) makes it so much more real for me!
