I have finally hit a huge milestone - 1000 followers!
Hive account@gmatthe2 was my number 1000 - and as a special thank you, I have sponsored her a share of Steem Basic Income (SBI)!
(Take a look at one of her recent posts which Hive account@bengy featured in his PIFC entry - Reversible Origami Shallow Bowl with Secret Compartment - this is a stunning bit of origami.)

Contest!!!

I would like to sponsor one or more additional shares this week from a contest. As such, I want to hear from you!
Please tell me:

What does 1000 mean to you?

Every creative or informative answer will be entered into a draw for a share of SBI! How many shares will I sponsor? It probably depends on the number of entries...

Rules

• Put in a comment something that 1000 says to you... or something it means to you. (It needs to be creative or informative though - so put your thinking caps on!)
• Upvoting/resteeming is optional, but appreciated as it will increase the number of shares I feel like sponsoring.
• If you do a whole post on it, I will upvote you. (My vote is only worth 0.02, but it's something.)
• Deadline - post payout.
