It has been a while since I last participated in STEEM Power Up Day (SPUD in short). The main reason why I didn't power up in the past few months was because they were filled with uncertainties and unknowns.
The effect of EIP was not clear and doing a hardfork for any blockchain is always risky. However, all that are in the rear mirror now. The HF was successful, albeit a little bumpy. Even though the long-term effect of the EIP still remains to be seen, I can now sense a positive vibe overall. In addition, there also seem to be more manual curation. I have been observing and I noticed that I am getting votes from larger accounts that have never voted for me before.
Overall, I am now bullish about STEEM in the mid to long term and hence, I bought some from Binance and am now powering them up!
And with that, I am now a proud owner of over 6000 STEEM! My next target will be 10,000 STEEM with my long-term target to become an "Orca". I understand I need a little over 50,000 STEEM to achieve that. Still a long way to go, but it is one step at a time isn't it? :)
