I am happy to have been chosen as the first SteemFund Recipient! I have received the 600 steem in my wallet and I'll probably let it sit there. I had thought of powering it up, but that won't make much of a difference. I had thought of selling it, and buying it back for the payments, but I expect the price of steem to go UP, not down!
Thanks for letting me be the first to use this service; hopefully the first of many more to come! Thanks to @chitty and the investors, and also to the steem dev team, witnesses and the entire steemit community!
