[(
Just like in life, here on Steemit we have certain milestones.
I know that to the whales they might not seem like much but the feeling when you manage to get your first 100 followers is huge. Then 500, 1000 and all the way to the top of the food chain. Similarly we judge accounts by their reputation and steem power.
In life we have first birthdays, 18th, 21st, graduations and weddings. All massively important milestones, at different stages of our lives. And all occasions to be celebrated.
So which is the most important?
I suppose it depends on your perspectives at each stage. At the time I would say that they are all the most important. When you are 17 there is nothing more important than the next birthday and being legal for certain things.
When you have done 5 years of hard work in college, receiving that degree to show what you have accomplished is the biggest goal.
So what is the biggest milestone on Steemit?
Depends on where you are in life. For me the first one was getting my vote up to a cent. Then I was trying to get 100 followers. After that I wanted to hit 500SP and get the vote slider. Those were all massive achievements for myself and ones that I managed after a lot of work and effort. Now that I have made it past the beginner goals it will be 500 followers and 1000SP.
I want to grow as much as possible on the site while reaching out to as many interested people as I can.
With 500 followers on the horizon I think that a little competition is in order to celebrate it. Maybe a little 5 SBD prize for the winner. We will see soon enough.
