You Suddenly Have 1000 SBD.
What Would You Do?
Imagine that you wake up and find 1000 SBD in your wallet, or that someone suddenly transfer 1000 SBD to you. This is not about the likelihood for something like that to happen. This is just for fun. Out of nowhere, you now have 1000 SBD which you didn't have just a minute ago. - What would you do?
Also, let's say that you would be able to keep everything, without any transaction costs or any other fees. You would have 1000 SBD or $6710 USD.
This Is What I Would Do:
The first thing I would do, is to pay my student debt, so I would become eligible a new student loan for an upcoming education that starts in March. - I want to become a treatment assistant and focus on teenagers who suffers from mental illness, so I would definitely need a student loan for this.
- This would cost approximately $3100.
$3610 Remains.
I would take the woman I love on a superb vacation. I haven't travelled anywhere since I was a kid. Well, at least not these last 15 years, so a nice, awesome vacation somewhere would've been fantastic. Honestly speaking, the location wouldn't matter, as long as I could travel somewhere with the woman I love. Greece? Spain? - Doesn't matter.
I would probably have spent all the money by now... But in case there would be something left, I would probably spend them on a nice meal or two on a restaurant or perhaps bought myself some new clothes when I got home from the vacation.
Well, I’d like to say that I’d power up all of it. But, really I’d have to pull it out and pay on my student loans! Maybe I’d power up 25% and use 75% to pay on my loans.
And that definitely deserves an upvote! I wish you the best of luck with your debt and obviously the best of luck in your Steemit journey yoo! :)
Thanks!
Split down the middle with my beautiful wife @insideoutlet and we would both power up we would like to build something here.
However im about try a fund raising post for the worlds greatest shave so if it happened in relation to that it all goes to the leukaemia foundation
So you would power up the worth of 500 SBD each? - Sounds like you're really trying to make something happening with Steemit. I love it and I wish you both the best of luck! :)
Also, wonderful to hear that you would donate to the leukaemia foundation. Thanks for sharing!
I think I would buy a breeding pair of Angora rabbits, pay for new tires on my mother’s truck and get my husband and son new workboots. That would use up about $1,200 worth of the SBD. The rest I would move to SP.
That doesn't sound too bad at all actually. What would you do with the rabbits? Sell?
I like how many of you are saying "invest in SP". That's pretty cool to hear. :)
Angora rabbits have rediculously soft hair that is used to make yarn. I want to learn to spin the yarn for sale and for personal use. And some of the babies would be sold to fund the purchase of new rabbits to add to the DNA stock and have a few breeding pair. Once I had three or four breeding pair, I would continue to sell about half of them for profit. I'd like to share the other half. I'd like to teach 4-H and FFA kids how to care for them and let them have them for show animals. I would love to be able to give breeding pairs to people who are interested in farming and agriculture for a living and self-sufficiency who are having a hard time getting started. And Angora rabbits are absolutely beautiful and adorable and very calm and peaceful, so I think they would make good therapy animals for visiting hospitals, nursing homes and such.
That's the short answer. lol
Haha, thank you very much for sharing. Sounds really amazing and impressing to actually. I wasn't aware of that at all. Well, rabbits haven ever been my "cup of tea", but I appreciate your effort explaining this. :)
Hmm,$6k would help me get my reef frag tank set up and a hand full of corals to start propagating . then within a year hopefully turn that hobby into a job i can enjoy .
That sounds pretty interesting.. And definitely worth it if it's a passion of yours.
Also if the oceans keep warming its the only way some corals will survive
I'd take 20% out for other altcoin investments and convert the rest to steem. Speaking of which, i should have probably done that when the SBD price hit $14 a while back.
Yeah.. I wish I had SBD when they hit $14. I sold everything starting at $2.5 and up to $9 or something like that. Was able to get only a handful SBD for $12. - I should've hodl. :D
Hahaha was debating HODL with a friend recently. It can work spectacularly and fail miserably as the bitconnect folks will attest to.
Who knows what the future brings... can't argue with profit :)
I would power up all of it.
Haha, I bet you would. I appreciate all your support and I would probably appreciate it even more if that became a reality. ;)
When you get 1000 SBD, let me help you find some great travel deals. I am literally the best at finding cheap flights/hotels. No one can beat me, fact.
What I would do with 1000 SBD? I would gut out my car, and redesign it for a place to live in. Then I would travel the country documenting my 1-2 year voyage all over the states and Canada. I honestly couldn't live off of the 6k for 2 years, but that would at least get me started with the car mods and on the road, and then from there I am 100% certain I'd be able to live on the road. I own a Prius, so I get 48+ miles a gallon, the car is paid off, so I'd have practically no bills.
Honestly, just what I am starting to make off of Steem would allow me to live on the road. I just want more than a 3 week history though, lmao. Need to know that this time of thing will be continuous, or if it's just a flash in the pan.
Great article. Love these types of things!
Oh, that sounds great. Sounds like a really cool adventure! And it sounds like a pretty cool goal to strive for too actually.
I'll let you know when I suddenly out of nowhere get the 1000 SBD transfer. :D
I'd spend about $400 worth on bills, the rest I'd buy Steem with and power up!
It's nice to daydream.
That's awesome. I knew someone would say that though and I thought about it myself too.. But then again, why would I invest in Steem Power with 1000 SBD I got out of nowhere when I'm longing for other things? It just didn't feel right.
Give me 2000 SBD and I'll power up 1000 SBD! :D
This is a what would you do and a spur of the moment gift and a spur of the moment answer, This could change if I thought to long about it. 1000 SBD's, I am going to believe there is parity with steem, so I would power it up, instant 1000SP added to my account. I would then delegate 500 to each @mudcat36 and to @davemccoy for their resteem a newbie day project. #resteemanewbieday, to help brand new user to steemit become familiar with it.
That's todays this moments thoughts. I am pretty sure though that I would power it up to SP. It was free after all, so why stress myself trying to knock myself out to spend it on a frivolous thing, when I could help a whole lot of other people.
Sounds great and very generous. I'll have to take a look at the project. Thanks for sharing! :)
Calculate how much I need to buy a Great Mining Computer and start mining BTC. :D
Then I will cash out the amount I require.
I have any SBD left, I will turn them into steem power while the Price of Steem is still down.
Haha, I love it. Even though I'm not an expert but I think you're way to late to start mining now actually, so a better option might be to power it all up. Thanks for sharing :)
Well I wanted to start mining because I think, before 2019, the BTC price will rise way higher than before.. More than 20K USD..
According to our currency, 1 BTC = The price of BTC in USD * The price of USD in BDT. That's more than to keep us going on for almost a year.
I see. Sounds like you've done some thinking on this. :)
Yeah. Wish me luck for that day when I start mining for good :)
Haha yeah, good luck! :)
I spend half of the money for buying delicious food for the homeless because they cant experience eating in a restaurant .I want to feel them that they also important in this world .but I also save half my money to the education of my son because education is all I can give to him..thank you vow hehe!!!!
Oh, that's nice. Educations are often very important so to pay your son's education would definitely be a good thing. To give food to the homeless would also be a good thing to do.
Wouldn't you spend any of the money on something for yourself?
Maybe I treat myself a massage to give myself a relaxion and energy because when you become a mother no pause,no dayoff but im happy because I can take care of my family ..by the way thanks for asking a nice question :) godbless
That sounds great! You would definitely deserve that after giving out free food to the homeless and all sorts of things. Well deserved! :)
I will build a home for my wife and my big family..
That's incredible. I wish you the best of luck and I hope you'll have enough success to accomplish that some day. Thanks for sharing.
Thanks my friend, and I hope your wish also come True
Everything is possible with time and effort. :)
I'd probably use 500 to power up, and the rest I'd invest 250 or so in advertising for my art business, maybe another 100 on some some inventory, with the rest pay all my bills for a month.
Sounds wonderful. Would you be able to pay all your bills for a month with 150 SBD?
At today's price, yes with a little bit left over to order pizza once or twice lol
That awesome! :) - Especially the pizza. ;)
One of my first jobs was in a call center that did debt consolidation. I heard all sorts of stories from people whose lives were basically ruined by debt. I don't have a lot of savings, but, I don't have any debt either, and I own all my own art merch inventory for my biz. Most of my friends would need at least 20K-30K just to be as broke as I am lol
Donate 5% to local food shelters. 5%. to a family I know who could use it. 10% to my cousins. 30% on building a new computer. Let the other 50% sit in my wallet. Power up and keep upvoting.
That's generous of you. What type of computer would you be looking for?
33% SP 33% STEEM 33% cash out
Wouldn't it be better to do 66% SP in that case? Or would you be looking to sell your Steem for profit quickly? - Good ideas. A split between investing and cashing out.
Converted to Steem and powered up and probably bought some additional BTC to trade for alts.
Sounds like a plan! :)
Haha...I will do the same as you have done...will turn it into steem power and take a lease of more SP, for powering it up, so I will get the worthfull upvote power and then i will upvote me as well as the good content authors...:p :)
That's not a bad idea actually. I don't lease my SP though, but I get your point. :)
Thanku for understanding...:)
Buy steem and then power it up.
Definitely a good option. Especially since you'd be able to do many things in the future when the price of Steem goes up.
What a fun bit to ponder! I would invest 500 SP into my account so i could have the infamous sliding barrrr 😊
I would split the remaing half into bitshares and keep half as SBD. Cha-ching!!! Then keep on steeming!!!! 🏮
This was cool to hear, and it's also a long time since I heard anyone talking about the sliding bar. I wish you the best of luck! :)
Thank-you 😁
@hitmeasap, this is a great question.
I would take
