Splinterlands Lunch VOUCHERS
I just took my wife out to a new restaurant which opened up down our street.
It was yummy Syrian style food - Asuto beef and vegetables baked into a pastry.
I am not a food blogger or a Millennial so I haven't got didn't originally get a photo of it - but it is yummy in my tummy!
[UPDATE] I went back for lunch today and remembered to take a photo.
It looked a bit lot like this, but better, with pulled Asuto rather than mince chicken.
What was particularly special about the lunch is that I paid for it using two Chaos Legion VOUCHERS.
Earlier today I had decided to sell a very small proportion of the largesse that God has bestowed upon me via the good graces of Splinterlands.
I sold some Chaos Legion Vouchers on Hive-Engine for about $19 each then bought SWAP-LTC with the proceeds.
I then withdrew the SWAP-LTC to my Crypto.com account, topped up my Visa card in SGP with the LTC and paid 122 NIS ($38) for lunch.
That's 2 VOUCHERS for a tasty lunch for two!
I chose LTC because it has good volume on Hive-Engine, has relatively low fees for on-chain transfers and I can top up my Crypto.com card with it directly.
I think this is an important demonstration that Splinterlands assets are not funny or fantasy money (even if they have fantasy names).
With just a few clicks I turned a fairly esoteric token that I have a hard time even explaining to normies into succulent food.
Despite the conversion of VOUCHERS to food involving intermediate swaps to 5 other currencies (HIVE, SWAP-LTC, LTC, SGP, NIS) I did a quick calculation and I seem to have only lost a few percent on all these conversions combined.
So Thank You Splinterlands, Hive-Engine and especially @aggroed, @yabapmatt and the team: May God bless you and you continue to go from strength to strength.
Please vote for my Hive witness. (KeyChain or HiveSigner)
Impressive :) Though I would probably hodl in case it became as expensive as the btc pizzas 😂
I'm HODLing the vast majority of it.
Good, that would be some expensive lunches 😂
It's sooo good to pay for something 'IRL' from crypto money!
I've had a huge hunger for Syrian food as well lately, never used to have Syrian restaurants in my city but they start to pop up here and there. Always grateful for new cuisines to try out, Ethiopian and Afghan are two other favourites of mine :-)
Yes, the Vouchers and Splintershards (SPS) are incredible … I can feed a family of 4 every day with my SPS airdrops.
So who's photo is it?
Thanks for reminding me to expressly source the photo. Its linked not copied, so the source is evident by right clicking on the photo itself.
Smaller accounts can get into a lot of trouble for these things.

Great to see such a delicious use case for the Vouchers! :)))
Getting crypto and using in real life gives us great pleasure and while I am a HODLer I have my targets set to grab some profits and enjoy them.
