I just powered up some more STEEM to reach 95K Steempower.
One of the reasons, I consider every one of those 95.000 STEEM very precious is because I believe they will be harder and harder to earn in the future.
More users are joining the platform every day (6,795 today according to this post.) and the reward pool is fixed.
Also, different ways of earning Steem are being developed and working (like utopian.io). Attracting a new kind of user.
I don't mind this last part one bit. I think the Utopian.io is a genius project.
But I guess the biggest reason I consider STEEM precious is the amount of time I invested in collecting it with either blogging or investing.
I talk about it more in my vlog.
