Some weeks ago I discovered that there is a place that lets me
Make something real out of STEEM:
homesteaders coop/ @homesteaderscoop.
I wanted those chickpeas from @bghandmade, so I started to save up 8 STEEM. After mentioning the idea in a post support came in:
Biggest thanks go to @akipponn who didn't hesitate to transfer 4 STEEM in support of the project.
Also thanks to generous votes from @c0ff33a, @prinzvalium, @vander, @streetstyle, @irreverent-dan, @nikokafka, @tonyz, @fcdvpds, @silverbug, @rossfletcher, just to mention a few (and thanks also for the continous votes!).
So, I had the 8 STEEM and headed over to homesteaders
coop's shop, just to discover that I still can't afford postage...
And that's when it really turned beautiful:
I received this message from @bghandmade:
I went over and ordered! Next I read this post on their blog. The whole family worked together sorting, counting and packaging! I felt that I had become part of something special, and something indeed special did arrive today:
Aren't they absolutely beautiful?!
Thanks to @sagescrub and @bobydimitrov for making this possibe!
So now they are going into the soil, and if everything goes well I will have
earned food by posting my pictures, making STEEM and spending it.
This is so real!
And who knows, maybe the crypto-chickpeas will make history? I hope not like the 1 BTC Pizza, but rather as:
THE PROOF-OF-CHICKPEAS!
I'll keep you updated on the progress of the #cryptopeas!
Thank you for that post! I'm glad that you got the package intact. Our boy would be sooo stoked to see his note travel to "a far away place" :) Keep us posted on the progress with the seeds!

Hello! Hope you are well!
How are your chickpeas?! I also like chickpeas very much but it is not grown in my country!!
Any way, you need some new post as I could not upvote your old posts of more than 7 days.
Your kindness is much appreciated!
Please let us see your chickpea plants. I might just be very tempted to grow some myself. I like chickpeas curry very much!
Keep well and healthy!

Dear @kaminchan, thanks for your lovely comment; the crypto-peas are slowly in the making, and I'll post an update soon.
Been gone for some days....
All the Best!
Klaus
Glad to hear that you are fine and your project is progressing!
I still have a small bag of dried chickpeas left! I’ll cook some chickpeas curry thus weekend for old time sake! This will remind me of my days in college!
See your new posts soon.
Best of luck.
Cheers.

So now the question is:
In 20 years, will we use crypto for payments, or chickpeas?!
Chickpeas, probably 🤔

Cryptochickpeas that’s amazing, I can’t wait to see what they grow into! Trade in Steem has such massive potential - it just needs a simple system for pricing and of course the dreaded shipping costs which are often the biggest stumbling block.
Anyway it’s good to see the Steem Blockchain bringing people together and providing goods - I hope @homesteaderscoop get many more orders for their produce.
