It's been a long time coming and finally I've unlocked rep 70 here on steem and to do that it has exactly taken me one year and six months on the blockchain. Well some people feels that reputation should be one of the less celebrated milestone or achievements probably because of the fact that it can be bought or probably because it has no direct influence or ability to influence the regular activities on the platform but I definitely do not care 70 is very iconic and also very familiar although reputation isn't 77 but definitely I will take 70, the truth is that the evolution of the Steem block chain makes this platform a rather difficult to cut your teeth and we could see that as a result of this so many people get confused because of the insects and changes that is happening and because they are left behind they find it very difficult to constantly place their foothold produce quality and earn for it and that is why I think these days reputation should be celebrated because they are not much of any more freebies on the platform to be given away cheaply unless you can definitely stand-your-ground and produce quality constantly and that is why I am celebrating my own reputation because I have worked hard constantly for the past 3.5 months to go from 69 to 70.
It's been a magnificent journey so far and just 1 month ago I celebrated hitting 4000 Steem power, not much of a footstool but I see myself also reaching dolphinhood in 2 months time so I will definitely say that reputation is everything because sometimes it defines how hard you have worked, it gives people a vote of confidence when doing steem business with you on the blockchain and whether it's bought or not, organic or artificial there's this sense of responsibility and authentication it shows in you
Just like a step in one's carrier or like a Feather to one's cap or being awarded for presenting or showcasing good behaviour all these are constant example of reputation which we build in our society Which affords us respect and I can't say that much too for Steem. It's even worth celebrating seeing that it's even harder because seeing that your reputation is 95% awarded, Based on merits, based on quality and not automatically on automation or friendly favours or getting extended favours as a result of friends in high place. Sometimes people think it's only bots that makes your reputation artificial but that's not only true like I said, when you attain reputation through automation, favours irrespective of your output or friends in high places then your reputation was smoothly fastened and not completely 100% achieved but definitely don't we all need help once in a while? Not to ramble on though, I'm glad once again for reaching rep 70 and looking forward to hitting 5000 sp in a months time, thanks guys for all the support and I'll do the proper spamming with names when I hit 5000 sp.
