How can it be that I passed the 1,000 mark only two months ago? I spent a full year getting to 1,000 but then only two months to add another 500? Holy moly.
I would like to think it's because of the quality of my content, but I put most of that down to Steemit's accelerating growth. So many new people with new perspectives can only be a good thing for this platform.
In case you noticed I've been upvoting less generously as of late, it's to let my voting power regenerate:
Once it's at 100% I'll resume my usual voting patterns albeit perhaps not 100% voting power every time. This will ultimately maximize the amount of STEEM I'm able to distribute to the widest set of people by voting.
Also I am indeed powering down to buy that electric motorcycle, and I hate dipping below 20,000 STEEM but it has to be done. I absolutely must have that bike. However after that I won't power down again probably for many years. I want to keep a minimum of 15,000 STEEM and ideally more like 20,000 in my account at all times so I will benefit from STEEM's continued growth.
I also hope to one day buy a used Tesla Model 3 with Steemit earnings. >:D
