What is a crypto like Steem really? A store of value? A fiat representing a fiat currency? A currency itself? An asset like your baseball card collection or your riding lawn mower?
Step into Armadilloman's Steem Leather Shop where you can exchange your Steem and SBD, whatever you think it is, for real hold-them-in-your-hands items. Handcrafted, embossed, painted and hand sewn leather goods with the Steem symbol and Steemit name you can purchase today! AND starting this week, the items marked "Steem Shop Exclusive" will have a STEEM/SBD price marked on them that will be good for the duration of the post. No converting to USD or fussing with the ups and downs of the market. I will make you and ship to you the item for the price in this post.
CHECK OUT THE NEW WEEKLY BIG SCORE FROM THE ETSY SHOP below where I will give you a flat STEEM/SBD deal for one week on one of my big normally more expensive USD items I make from over in the Etsy ArmadilloLeather shop.

HERE IT IS, This weeks BIG SCORE...
The Steempunk "Frankenhat"
I featured this hat in a "how I did that" photo blog last week. Here is a full description and multiple photos on Etsy.
And here is the Steemit Post all about this hat.
This week only, I will make one of these to fit you for 72 STEEM or SBD. Thats shipping included to US addresses. (82 Steem/SBD shipped to international addresses.)
CUSTOM MADE ITEMS MAY NOT LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE PICTURE AS EVERY PIECE OF COWHIDE IS DIFFERENT AND ACCEPTS COLOR DIFFERENTLY. I TRY TO TAKE PICTURES THAT TRULY REPRESENT THE ITEM. THE ACTUAL ITEM MAY BE SLIGHTLY DIFFERENT IN COLOR DUE TO LIGHTING, PHOTO PROCESSING AND THE MONITOR YOU ARE VIEWING.
If you wish to purchase an item for USD on Etsy and live ouside of the USA, Sorry... I am not taking international orders from my Etsy shop. Nothing against shipping internationally, its just that I can scarcely keep up with domestic demand on Etsy, let alone global. So I limit the Etsy market to the USA.
I will certainly ship items sold from Steemit intenationally (allow 4 weeks delivery) BUT international buyers will be responsible for their own customs duties. Sorry, no, I won't lie on the form to say it is a gift, so please don't ask me to.
All items may be purchased with Steem or SBD. Here is the deal. These are custom, made to order items. All of the items in this post can be purchased with SBD or STEEM. If you would like to purchase using Steem or SBD, let me know in a comment below and we will chat about it. If you wish to talk via email, give me a shout on chat or discord and I will send you an email address. If you are an Etsy user, and would rather, we can negotiate payment and exchange shipping info privately through the Etsy message system.

This is some nice work! Looks like you have been at your craft awhile. Had to give you a resteem and follow because I want to see more of your work.
Thanks so much for the kind words @steemitadventure! Yeah, I picked up my first leather tool 45 years ago. Prowl through my blog and there is a lot of "how I did that " photo blogs with various crazy leather projects.
Ah yea the 45 years of effort really shows. That hat is epic! I would assume something with those curves etc takes a lot of time and effort. May have to eventually order something from you. Glad I stumbled upon your blog and I am sure I will see you around.
Hello steemitadventure. been looking for a proper leather belt. Wasn't expecting to find one on here lol. Most belts you buy today are made with imitation leather and you are lucky if they last 6 months. Love the colour and it's rather unique with the Steemit logo. Will measure and get the size for you. Thank you.
Nothing imitation here. All good ol' tough cowhide. Thanks for taking a look!
Will be buying. I like the belt.
How long have you been working with leather for?
Your skills are pretty amazing.
Thanks @veckinon! Believe it or not the first time I made anything from leather was in Jr High shop class, fall of 1971. Then off and on (more off then on) since then. I did a blog a month ago on the whole crazy story here https://steemit.com/life/@armadilloman/my-2018-this-is-my-hobby-leather
I actually made a couple of things in a jr high class myself. Never kept up with it though.
I'll have to check out your other post.
I like what I see! I may have to put in for a steem wallet....would go pretty neat with my project when I unleash it on the world! lol
Thanks @kodaxx! What project you got going?
I've been working on a project called "SteemPay" which is a digital wallet for STEEM/SBD (in the Google Play Store now), but part of the new set of features I'm working on, is a plastic card that will allow people to pay in person with STEEM or SBD.
Eventually when I put this demo out, I'd like to get one of these wallets to showcase the card :p
Very cool work - I really dig it, and I will hopefully be getting one soon!
Thanks @kodaxx! I will give you a follow so I can hear your progress. I have been saying that the ones who work out a easy to down load to and use crypto card are going to win the big enchilada.
I've got it figured out, and it works - just making some changed to the API right now lol
Gave you a follow and I will watch this as you develop it all. It all sounds great!

STOPOne of steemit users in korea community(@asbear) is developing steem dolar payment app called steempay. It's very easy and fast to use and some korean start using that. Try to check steempay
The steem merchandises look great. Also thanks @armadilloman for follow :)
Thank you! I took a look at your page and thought "what a great idea!" Your info would have saved me hours of digging when I got here. So I will make sure to pass your blog onto the couple struggling newbies I know.
Nice to meet you. I have also been looking for ways to set up a shop on steemit. So far, Steemit merchandise seems to be the most popular. I hope your business to be a great success.
