Challenge - Surviving (& travel) only off Steemit rewards! #0

I'm sure at least similar idea crossed mind of each and every one of active Steemians. What if....

What if I could just travel the world, post awesome pictures, withdraw rewards, buy gas in my van, some food and fresh coconuts and onto the next destination!..

Well, if it didn't cross your mind, at least mine did. To do a trip like that is my lifelong childish dream...Obviosly, some income is needed. Be it passive or active, it needs to be done from a laptop from the Van. There are hundreds of YT tutorials for freelancing and digital nomadism. But I wonder, couldn't Steemit be also a help here? So why not just test it in friendly environment?

From this Friday morning(31st May) till Sunday evening (2nd June), I'll try tu survive just on the rewards I got from Steemit previous days!

Experiment rules & details

Days mapping

Since it takes some time to get the upvotes, there obviously needs to be some lag to make this work. I've decided that 2 days should be enough. What that means? Rewards will get "unlocked" for me 48 hours after publishing a post. It means that:

  • Rewards for Wednesday posts -> can be used on Friday and later
  • Rewards for Thursday posts -> can be used on Saturday and later
  • Rewards for Friday posts -> can be used on Sunday

Rewards formula

Well, thinking I could live of my current rewards would be strictly naive. My average reward with curators 25% still in fluctuates slightly below 1 dollar. That's why I decided that multiplying rewards by three would make it slightly more doable. That leaves me with this final amount of Euros to use:

Hypothesis - Steemit "Moon"

My plan is to test, whether it's possible to survive strictly on money made on Steemit. Accomodation is not taken into account since living in the van is relatively free of cost.

Starting from Friday, I'll document how much money I got for my posts and comments and how I've spent them. Should be fun! :)

So have in mind..

That with every partial upvote instead of 100% one, you're basically taking food off my plate!! :D Haha kidding, I'm obviously very grateful for every upvote I'll get and let's see if this symbolical "moon" of Steemit is possible. Let's see if I'll make it alive till Sunday or will die of hunger. My life is in your hands now :D

Thanks for reading!
