Please consider voting for me as witness!

Sort:  
  1. Yes, easy and expensive (buying from Naira to Dollar)
  1. No, But have used a lil portion of my crypto to buy some steem before.

  2. No, because shipping down here takes too long and more expensive than the price of the product.

  3. Yes, from a local bank.

  4. Yes, a MasterCard but always getting rejected due to gateway or third-party technical issues from local banks.

  5. Not so meaningful but better than nothing.

  6. Yes, and yes again.

Thanks @oluwoleolaide, just let me wait out the 15 minute timer and I'll give you my vote.

Alrite good noble friend.

On 6 - What if shipping is still just as expensive as with Amazon?

Well it won't seem that expensive once its not in fiat, the conversion rate kills!

  1. Yes, I have and it was easy. It wasn't exactly expensive as I bought it at about the normal exchange rate for the USD.
  2. Yes, I have bought Steem with Bitcoin and Ethereum on various exchanges. However, it isn't always so easy when you intend to make your purchase with Naira, especially when you require large amounts.
  3. No, I haven't. I have some sort of phobia for purchasing goods, other than crypto online. Almost like I'm scared of being duped.
  4. Yes, I have a debit card.
  5. No, I don't.
  6. Well, I made a meaningful amount during the bull run. Those were the good old days.
  7. Yes, I do. I have been exchanging Steem for products with my friends.

Lol, this survey is somehow, buh yeah, ill give it an go..

  1. Yes and it was quite easy, we have got a lot of escrows, OTC desks, crypto 2fiat and crypto to crypto exchanges, some currently processing about $1m monthly now.

  2. Yes, bought some steem on binance around September last year, though used it for trading.

  3. Yes, buh unsuccessfully, to order from amazon, some extra steps have to be followed, I keep messing up and my orders canceled or not delivered. We have our own african shopping sites tho, jumai, konga, payporte, shopnow, etc

  4. Yeah, from my bank.

  5. Nah, most of us wont have that, the debt is monstrous.

  6. Somewhat meaningful, its helped a lot, I prefer the engagement and the fact that I've made a lot of connections and friends, learned a lot about crypto through steem.

  7. Yes! Mehn, if an easy way to buy goods with steem was available and the goods needed were available, that market would boom in nigeria at top speed.

Thank you 🤗

  1. Yes, I have bought bitcoin. It was easy, and it was also expensive.

  2. Yes, I have bought Steem. It was easy for me, and not as expensive as when I was buying bitcoin.

  3. Personally, I haven't bought any products from Amazon. It takes quite a long time for it to be shipped here, so I prefer local e-commerce sites.

  4. Yes, I have a debit card.

  5. No, I don't have a credit card.

  6. Currently, not so much. But I made good (great in fact) money when I first joined late last year.

  7. Yes. I would love to

1, Yes I have bought bitcoin

  • (a) I would say it was quite easy, because I bought from a friend.

2, Yes I've bought steem.

  • (a) it was easy. I bought from bittrex with bitcoin.

3, No I've not bought yet from amazon. But I've bought from Jumia and the likes

  • (b) I've not really had a need to buy in Amazon

4, Yes I do have a debit card (my ATM card)

5, No I don't have a credit card.

6, Relatively, any earnings is "meaningful". I'm actually on steemit for the community. So I feel satisfied with any earnings that come my way.

7, I think the future of e-commerce hinges on cryptocurrency. And I strongly believe that steem is a major player in this. I've actually used my steem earnings to buy goods (though not on an online e-commerce platform), but I'm in for that. I'll use my steem earnings to trade on online e-commerce platforms, and buy goods. And I think it is welcomed

1.No.I could buy it easily by market.
2.No.I could buy it easily by market.

4.No.i have no debit card.
5.No.I have no cradit card.I puchase things with money.
6.Yes of course.
7.No.I dont like online shopping.

  1. Yes,the first time was extremely hard and expensive with high risk of even getting scammed.I am not a fan of btc anyway so I don't buy it anymore except if am to exchange another crypto for it

  2. Yes,twas easy because I already had bitcoin/eth...So I used it to buy steem easily on exchanges or within friends for fiat.

  3. Yes... My only problem with amazon is the over 3 weeks it takes for the package to get delivered.

  4. I had... Misplaced it 2 months ago but haven't gotten a new one.... I use my close friend @gprince debit card

  5. NO

  6. No...i use bots most of the time

  7. No....even if it's an easy payment option...I won't!

  1. Yes. I buy on a regular basis from localbitcoin. It is easy buying from there and you can find the cheapest rate there.
  2. Yes. I bought from a fellow steemian. It was easy.
  3. No, because of the shipping rate.
  4. Yes, I have debit cards from 4 banks in Nigeria.
  5. No.
  6. Yes, I make some meaningful amount on steemit.
  7. Yes

• Yes. There are hosts of third-party services available. But as usual, the cuts for commission is a bit off, but they work.

• Never bought Steem. Earned.

• Amazon? Nope, never bought a thing on Amazon. Really do not trust services asking for my debit card details. Or maybe I'm just not patient enough to understand the process.

• Yes I have a debit card.

• I do not own a credit card.

• Meaningful is rather subjective. I'd say "very meaningful" if we were back in December 2017. Now, I still earned a pretty decent amount of Steem with a lot less value. But it's just enough to get by. I'm good.

• It's a lot better than revealing my debit card details. So yes, I would buy stuff on Steem!
