@remlaps has also continued to track the impact of Steemit's burnsteem25 campaign encouraging people to set a 25% beneficiary to @null to reduce the amount of STEEM, which potentially will increase its value.

Big power up is Very good news to us...
Good i m new plz support m now
@amarbanglablog Thank you very much and from the bottom of my heart for officially declaring @amarbangaliblog a witness.. #steemit has a status in the Bengali language, proud of being a Bengali. Thanks to founder @rme Dada for establishing my Bengali blog.
regards @steem-for-future
Thank you very much for sharing the updates and thank you for considering the article😊
Greetings and blessings.
The reinforcement made by @hungry-griffin will have a big effect on the value of steem.
The amount of steem strengthened by @hungry-griffin is much greater than the recent blackout issue.
We hope that @hungry-griffin will join a number of existing steem Communities and become a hero for the Community.
Maybe the team behind hungry-griffin will help reinforcing the much needed steem stability. Fingers crossed
This is really new and hot news for a new spirit for us little inflation fighters..
Only power up! :)
Very informative news about steemit sir. @hungry-griffin sir, thank you for a great power up.
