Hello there it's @Josediccus, so it's milestones upon milestones, today I decided to unlock a special milestone and that's powering up to get up to unlock 8000SP and also reaching 72 as a milestone. You might have noticed a behavioral change on the blockchain and more people are powering up in other to have a fair share of the curation rewards making the round. Stating the obvious I love steem and why is this? Steem changed my life and basically some people always ask me to do the math before I power up, but I'll like to agree that most of us who are into buying Steem are doing so sentimentally it's always boring having to check charts, the reason why steem may not moon yet or why we can't afford to put in more than we can, truth is I've been hearing about why the inflation of the SBD might be an Achilles heel for Steem and a whole lot of other stuff but I believe something, we might not be thriving in some certain area but one can't doubt that the massive development in many areas are blistering.
So I believe development results into growth and the only difference would be that the growth might take time but what doesn't really take time? I'll likely be sharing this post to Facebook to tell Bitcoin maximalists telling them that Steem isn't just about the red and green of the market but the fun of sharing a blockchain where we're building, Crypto, brands business as well as projects that'll last for a long period of time, yeah not withstanding the rocky ride and bumpy moments really. Without a doubt there'll be a gradual process and that's why 
This year I've powered up over 1500 steem plus the 660 steem I'm powering up must say it's been productive year and unlocking two milestones when it comes to reputation already is amazing, this year u unlocked 71 and unlocked 72 as well and I'm hoping to also get to 73 before december, yeah what's the fuss about milestone? Yeah it's organic and as a result of this it signals growth, it's signals wantability and believe of the Steem community on what you're contributing to the blockchain and that's why in a few cases, reputation is being looked upon because it also signals originality. So it's 72 for me and when I started I didn't think I'd even get to reach 72 but I'm currently here and I'll like to thank the people who's placed faith on me on this amazing journey so far because it's been splendid and I have no words to describe my happiness, it's been huge coming this far and it might not have been the biggest of milestones but I'll surely take 72 and 8k SP as we continue to grow in the Steem journey.
**So do I have any other target? ** Yeah at most I'll be hoping to hit 9000k SP better December 31st, without a doubt the moon is coming soon but it might take a little time, could be a year, it could be two or three, but make no mistake it's coming and we have to get as many listings as soon as possible, we're part of the growth and our every action will speed up this process that's why I'm lauding you to play the Steem game and believe in what we're building because it's going to be revolutionary.
Without a doubt I currently have 35 steem authors on my autovote list and I plan to add more with time as soon as I hit 9k SP and why is this? Curation reward is the new big thing on steem and currently I earn an average of 2 steem in a day through Curation rewards so I'm considering making it 3 steem on an average with my 700 steem power up and this is going to be my plan going forward. Some people don't know that following trails increases curation reward as well and for people who are into manual voting I laud your hardwork. That said I'm hoping to be a partaker in the steem chunk and also build a base for myself and increase better Contenting. What can I say? I'm elated to be here 8k SP and 72, see you guys when I achieve more.
