Hi all !! So my first month of Steemit membership comes to an end ! I joined on the 7 of August powering up 10 Bicoins to buy 2853 In steem power for having curation power. I have recently powered up a further 1331 steem power as the price was too good an oppurtunity to miss I felt ! A good decision as it seems my abilities as an author seem to be lacking. But then i have only myself to blame for this I know. Will be trying harder now to write more my personal story and adventures of a pirate on the ocean of life on the recommendation of 
But to come back to my original point i wish to make for you now, that powering up big in Steempower is a good idea if you are like me and believe in this project and the social media on the blockchain !!
If you look to my wallet you will see that my personal investment totaling 4184 Steem power in all, is after just one month now 5000 plus and counting !! So i am very pleased to announce to you all that i have managed to bump up my investment by exactly 20 percent or one fifth in one month by curating and commenting !! Pretty cool no ? Sure its surely alot less than many authors here, that have clearly hit success here by writing great posts which are upvoted strongly. I hope this will be the same for me too once i get my teeth into my own true writing, only my work and investment to this end can change this I know.
I am just waiting now for the price to rise up once more to a point where i may power down a little, maybe a while longer for sure. But then it is to be expected as when you invest like i have in Steem Power, its for the long run and the greater benefit of the community here.
I am now i believe a true Dolphin of Steem and will always do my best to help good hearted and well meaning minnows i see around me to get going here !!
So keep on Steeming to your dreams and believe in this Blockchain that 
KEEP CALM AND STEEM ON ! ; - )
