Wow ... talking about a long breath ...
Ok, it took me a lot longer than I initially thought. 9 months to be exact. See my last post about when I had reached 3000 Steem
But I made it! 5000 STEEM !!! That was my second goal.
Power Up
And just like last time, I keep all my collected STEEM in Steem POWER. Because even though some of them leave the Steem Blockchain, I still believe in it. There are a lot of exciting and nice things planned for the Steem blockchain in the short term!
So, I am here to stay!
My next goal.
I still make goals in manageable steps. If the step is too big, I have trouble seeing the big picture. So my next goal is to collect 7500 STEEM. Slowly to the 10000 STEEM. I just do not hope that I have to grind again for 9 months. But if that is necessary, so be it!
If you believe in STEEM, Power Up!
My personal opinion, based on what I've read here and there, is that if you believe in STEEM and the greater success than it already is, you SHOULD NOT PAY OUT. There is of course nothing wrong with the occasional profit. But I believe that you should get as much STEEM in SP as possible. This increases your reputation and voting rights.
Fellow Steemians, have the best day!
