This is it..... The last day of 2021, and what a crazy year its been!! Not just with the C word, but here on #steemit too.

Weve had some amazing growth with the @ssg-community account, and as hoped we passed the 19,000SP barrier just after Christmas. This has allowed me to release a few of our more expensive leases, maintain the fair leases and should see us able to continue to fund the account for the coming year ahead.

The leases continue to be paid, and theres a constant outgoing of steem to pay for them, almost on a weekly basis. So in order to fully "future proof" our little Precious, with the communities backing, ill continue to stopcall powerdowns and rely on monthly donations to pay SP leases.

Which brings me on nicely to January's contributions:

For the umpteenth time, lease rates remain high. So, as always, we will use this as a marker and work it out from there.

2500SP and market rates is 73.7 STEEM

884.5 steem / 12 month

= 73.7 steem. Which is just under current market rates.
