Some good news! 2 STEEMIT Milestones + THANKS

It was about 7 days ago now that I reached 1500 followers, (June 14th) and 70 Rep. Score on May 2nd, 2017. (50 days)

I hit 1500 Followers, 13,000 posts & 15,000 Steem Power all in the same week, (June 5-12th) and today is June 21st, so 9-16 days ago for those milestones. I joined in August of 2016 so around 10 mths ago now.

That is +600 followers & 1745 posts in the last ~20 days.

It took me 50 days to move from 70 to 71 Rep. score.

I would have gotten here a few days sooner, but I was flagged by a huge whale on here, with 7 accounts at their full vote power when I did a post to welcome Hive account@itsmee.bosslady to Steemit -- and that killed the post rewards I was largely going to donate to her and it dinged my rep score quite a bit, when things like that happen.

It is very true, the higher your rep score climbs, the longer and harder it is to move up to the next one. You really start to notice this once you hit the 50 rep score range.

Part of why I do these is to give newer Steemians exact ideas and numbers for my milestones so they have an idea for their own markers here - and also because I think it is nice for the future to show my milestones and preserve them as I like to look back on things like this myself.

Many of us more senior Steemians in terms of some numbers often get asked how long these things take or how to do them, so it will give some direction to newer members here. I was helped a lot along the way so I try to help when I can back as well.

If Steemit becomes THE social media and Crypto blockchain, we are a huge piece of history here folks. That is part of it too.

I just continue to Minnow along here. I've taken 5 weeks total off. As you know, I like to report good news and encouraging things when I can for others, sometimes that includes my side of things too.

I wanted to thank all of you who have voted for me, chatted with me, helped me, and become a friend.

These are days and figures on here, I never figured I would see on here!

I have been very active on Steemit trying to help others, spread good info, build community and stand up for what is right when I need to for the greater good.

I am in the Top 1% in most stats categories now on Steemit today showing just over ~ 210,765 accounts as per SteemD.com today...... (or use https://steemdata.com/stats) --- The SteemD.com stats side had been been down for a long time now.

Thanks for the friendship and support along the way everyone.

I say that again, because it is very true. And I am glad for the knowledge I have gained and helped spread here and for the support and the friends!!

Keep on the Rockets to the Moon with your goals and Crypto as we are all early adopters here and always try and keep that in mind, it can be easy to get discouraged if you do not.
