Look what arrived in the mail today. Why did I order it and why you might consider doing the same.

"Connect Coinbase to spend online and offline at over 38 million merchants worldwide."

"The Shift Card is a VISA debit card that currently allows Coinbase users in select states and territories (see list below) in the U.S. to spend bitcoin anywhere VISA is accepted."

My goal remains the same with Steemit. To earn enough with Posting, Curating, & Trading to buy a Motorcycle for myself and Tablet for my grandmother. We all have our own goals, these are just my humble ones. I have been with Steemit since August of last year, but have been blogging actively more since January. I am not a coder, I am only a part time trader, and my writing is mostly in the format of screenplays and journals. My expertise is in live human interaction via improv performance and education. I have performed for audiences in the hundreds in Chicago, LA, St Louis, Phoenix, and festivals around the country. I've performed for thousands aboard Norwegian Cruise Lines's cruise ships with The Second City. I have facilitated workshops for hundreds of teachers, investors, marketers, and tech companies with CSZ & Second City Works.

But I have always been a reckless rebel in regards to my relationship with Authority. I currently teach improv in St Louis and have a loyal staple of students. I do not charge them much. I am still a rebel with finance. I choose to let the blockchain reward me. I choose to let your simple vote be my humble witness on my journey back to Los Angeles and my Improv Family, The Reckoning. And this I will do. The Reckoning has many mantras, one of which is, "Say it, Do it. Do it, Say it." And that is what I, and You, are doing with @Steemit. You are well rewarded for following and upvoting my posts. I am a human being who gives Steemit a value of humanity. All of my photos are my own. I copy little to nothing from the internet. I share my journey so as to show you the human value of your view and vote. You are well rewarded for following and upvoting other steemers who blog about their human journey.

The Whales will always have their day, and much respect to them and their family. But not everyone is a million dollar market maker or brilliant coder. God Bless their talents, may their portfolio grow. And God Bless Yours. We will all be rewarded through the blockchain. We will all achieve our goals of putting food on the table, roof over the head, and family in our arms. And I have you to thank for my inevitable success, my new motorcycle to take me back to the Reckoning, and for the tablet I will give to my grandmother so that she may continue to love and cherish her grandchildren across the country. You, have me and others who blog human interest, to thank for those reminders that we are all human, and that Steemit has a chance to be a true revolution that rewards humanity.

I thought about writing a text book, "How to order and use the Shift Card" post. But I feel this reflects more on the "Why?" Why should you order the shift card, or xapo, or any other debit card for that matter? Because for so many of us, we still need access to a fiat form of payment in everyday life to capitalize on our individual human talents and achieve our inevitable success. Maybe you are a musician, visual artist, author. Maybe you are a social worker, work in a factory, or government employee. Maybe you are in the Military, Education, Professional Sports or work a 9-5 retail job. And regardless of profession, you know doubt have human interests and goals that give your life value. You are infinite potential and have infinite value. Regardless of what we each want in this life, on Steemit we all have a chance to say it. With this card, I now have a chance to do it.

upvotes, comments, follows, resteems are appreciated in value

wishing you and your Reckoning all the best,
