I Just Bought an Apple Laptop MacBook Pro With My Steemit Earnings

Newegg Takes Bitcoin

Newegg

Newegg's Bitcoin payment page was super easy to use as well! A big "Thank You" to everyone who has supported me through upvotes and lifting me up when I stumbled.

Apple Laptop MacBook Pro MLUQ2LL/A Intel Core i5 6th Gen 2.00 GHz 8 GB Memory 256 GB SSD Intel Iris Graphics 540 13.3" Mac OS X v10.12 Sierra

I bought my first MacBook back in 2003 from Newegg after my Dell (I think it was Dell) laptop gave me the blue screen of death and I lost all my articles that I was working on for my college classes. I read Apple products do not crash, I've used Apple ever since then, but I'm not happy with their slave factories in Asia, so I buy with reservation.

I just lost my IMac, poor thing, I've had it since 2007, may it Rest In Peace.

Congratulations! Thanks for letting us know it was easy to shop at Newegg.

Thank you @magick323, it was nice to use cryptocurrency directly with no card or exchange in the middle.

Now I just need to learn how to convert SBD to bitcoin. I feel so lost haha

Do a search on Steemit, there are some howto articles that helped me.

Thank you! I opened a coinbase account just now. I feel like a crypto-warrior!! Haha

Be carful I use bread wallet and will be buying a hard wallet to keep offline. Sharks smell big money and are circling their prey on the exchanges. Keep some of your coin in the hot wallet and most of your coin in the cold wallet. You can also print out your coin and keep in a safe place.

Thank you. I appreciate the advice. Have a great weekend.

Congratulations

Thank you @sapan🌺

O wow, that's great. A very big congratulation to you. It's really a kind of achievement and you deserved it because of the value you provides to this steemit universe through your posts. A big thanks to you.

I'm trying to give as much as I take. I spend 8 to 12 hours a day working on my art, it can be exhausting. Kinda like running a marathon, I hit lots of walls....😏💪🏻

That must be really exhausting, kind of interesting but really exhaustive. And I really like your gesture 'try to give as much as you take'. Most people are not able to implement this gesture. Hats off to you.

It's part of my Buddhist practice. A lot of my giving has been centered on my family for the last 2.5 years, I need to widen my awareness, Steemit is a good place to practice. Thank you @cryptonet🙏

No, thanks to you. I learned a lot from you . Especially this 'giving' gesture.

You are most welcome🙏

Congratulations! I am really happy for you.

Thank you @sumsum, I am very surprised I've earned enough to invest back into my little Steemit business.

Congrats on the new laptop, Steem is the best!

Reinvesting in Steemit and cryptocurrency 😉

You deserve it! Enjoy :)

I've been working my brain into a puddle of muddle....my poor husband has been so patient with me...learning HTML, cryptocurrency exchanges, wallets, improving my people skills, improving my horrible writing and editing skills and...upgrading my art skill set ....Steemit has been a real adventure, especially dealing with the emotional issues that come up getting paid for my posts.

Agreed! Same here :) So far I have not bought myself anything with my hard-earned steems, but maybe i should consider it :)

I took a couple months to trade my sbd and steem for bitcoin and one powerdown for our trip to Lisbon. I had a difficult time letting go of my coins, so I understand😏

Congrats!!

Thank you kindly @rahul.stan🌀

I absolutely LOVE all my Macs. So much more than the PCs I use at work. My Mac is always there for me, it never fails or crashes. I am also super impressed that you got this using your crypto earnings! Congrats!

I know I'm so happy to buy directly from Newegg, which is the same business I bought my first mac laptop.

The new will not come unless the old makes way!

The old makes great compost for my flower garden🙏🌀🌺

Hahahaha, you cracked me up @reddust! XD Have a great day!!!

Incredibly satisfying and exciting, congratulations! You've earned it

Thank you @natureofbeing, I've worked very hard and really enjoyed myself!

Inspiring to see! Can't wait for the day I can do the same! Saw this in my home feed!

Thank you kindly and I'll follow you back @bearbear613🌀

TY Red ;)

I am so very sad to hear of your loss. My condolences. :'(

I am also so very sad that you bought a mac book,
but I would be even sadder if you bought a Win 10 notebook.
Someday, there will be good computers to buy.

I would like to build them, but I am waiting for a certain technology to emerge.

I am glad you got the PRO, so it has enough horsepower to do those artsy things that need doing. ^_^

Also, how much in transaction fees did you pay to do this?

From what I've read on neweggs bitcoin page and see in my wallet, no transaction fees, but I could be wrong.

@builderofcastles, I picked the lesser of all the evils and something bigger than 1.2 ghz lololol

I can't wait for more choices, I hate monopolies ...😏

Well that's just awesome isn't it!

I know I have been bouncing all over my house flipping my middle fingers to the to big to fail banking systems!

Welcome to the world of digital assets! A wonderful economy to b e part of indeed.

I was initiated when I lost some sbd through a Poloniex deposit, I just knew that was my signal I was now a really cryptocurrency nerd...lolol so much fun learning new things.

how much was the laptop if you don't mind me asking and how long would you say it took to earn enough to get it?

It was 1499.00, the price surge these last two months on steem and sbd bought this laptop. I am not a big player on steem, so without this new passive income it would of taken me 2-3 months @teamhumble.

This is a really good use of steemit. Artists have to trust eachother for it to be real, I hope you buy more cool stuff. Oh yeah, E Z bitcoin
http://bitcoin.coolthings.site for paypal 2 bitcoin and back out.

Thanks for the link @coolthingssite. I'll check it out🌼

Congratulations mam.

Thank you kindly @being-human🦋

That's great!!

I am dancing with happiness, no more iPad typing😆

Hahah, yeah it's definitely a nightmare without an actual keyboard.

My patience muscles are developing delineation 💪🏻 😁

So Happy for you! That really is awesome. Congrats and SteemON!

Back to creating after my gratitude attack, I haven't forgotten my earth-house project next month😉

My sister, @jenerallee78 likes Mac computers, too. She says they never get viruses. I'm not sure if all that is true. I'm just accustomed to Windows. I bet that's a rewarding feeling to be able to buy a laptop from your earnings here!

Mac has its issues on many levels but virus infections are not an issue. I could go into some of the privacy issues mac has with our government but PCs are even worse lifting our private data and sharing it with 3rd parties and ontop of that, crashes and viruses.

awesome!!!!!!!!!!

@reddust, your Steemit business is blooming like the flowers in your photos.
