It happened.
I powered up.
I split my steemit earnings in half, exchanging 50% for litecoin in anticipation for SegWit, and the other 50% right back into steemit as STEEM POWER.
Now, I have 1,000+ STEEM POWER
Am I officially an minnow? I don't know -- still trying to figure things out here.
But, in a way, I like discovering this place as I use it.
No tutorial.
No training wheels.
Things just seem to happen.
It reminds me of the untamed outdoors when I was a kid in the 80s, where you would leave the house at sun up and return at sun down with scrapes, bumps, and memories; or surfing the internet in the 90s when people had personal websites filled with dangerous and deeply personal text and spinning .gifs.
In any case, I thank you for having me, steemit -- you nutty bastards! It's been a real treat so far and I look forward to so much more as the months in this crazy year fly by.
Take care and shadilay.
