# <center>We All STEEM For Ice Cream</center>
---

**My theory is - people get excited about STEEM and Steemit when they see what it** ***can do.*** A couple of nights ago, I treated family and friends to an "ice cream night" entirely paid for using STEEM! (10 ice cream cones in total.) In doing so, I explained the process of blogging for rewards and then using those rewards to purchase in-real-life things. While the economy of Steemit may still be new to folks, the act of *using* rewards to purchase real stuff is an exciting thing to watch.

**I encourage you all to try the same thing.** Folding people into this community will help it grow. **A few ice cream cones can go a long way...**
