Money where my mouth is - Celebrating 7k SP
img src
Well, I don't want those words to be just words. If I only said those things but doubted buying some STEEM at these prices I would be just playing a silly game so I here I am, showing my fellow Steemians, my community, I'm not going anywhere. Truth is that STEEM could drop to 70 cents and I would be scraping at least one benjamin to buy some more.
I said on this very blog I was going to reach 7k SP before the end of the month, but it's just the middle and my self set goal has been achieved. To be honest with you, I remember thinking back in February that I would probably never get "up there". I would see dolphin accounts like the unreachable elite class of STEEM, silly me.
I'm about to turn one year old on this platform, today marks day 349 but It seems like I've been "in the trenches" for a lot longer than that.
I wanted to write this short post to celebrate this tiny milestone. Even though it may not mean much to some, it means a lot to me, and hopefully if you are feeling like you could never pull it off, the fact that a regular joe has done so, will make you get pumped up and keep on grinding along.
I don't have a beer tonight, just a weird cup of coffee that is cold and nasty.. but I'm still celebrating with it.
All the love and respect to those who haven't lost their passion..

memo i am with you, i just received my first social security check last month, kind of hard to believe. So today i just made a deposit to pick up more Steem. Don't get me wrong I am not selling the farm, but this is much bigger than us. I think whales are working this market, and the metals. I get to spend this extra retirement on what ever i want, so i will put more into Steem/SP. When this market circles around I will be there with you!!!

hey Silvertop congratulations on taking those first steps!! :) it may not look like it now, but we are super early adopters, we will reap the fruits of these choices in the future.
I beleave you are correct, we are in the baby steps stage. If you think about it like that it is very exciting! To avoid transaction fees I deposit to Coin Base Pro to Bittrex,Binance ect. Sad that my ACH is SEVEN days out to pick up Steem 🙃
yeah, I'm there too with some buys I put in... nothing we can do but wait.

congratz @meno keep the path lit. :)
Hitting 7000sp in under a year is super impressive! Not something I think I’ll manage to do, so I’m so envious!

the trick is that there is no trick my friend... consistency, posting 2-3 times a day every day for a year... there is no trick there. ;)
Congratz! I’m half your ‘size’, but I have some SP on an exchange that I bought this week now the markets are low and hope to grow a little through trading so I can power up a bigger amount in a few months :-)
These markets are a blessing for people like you and I who are here for the long term! Feels like we are given a chance to get ‘up there’ a little faster than we would just by posting.
Enjoy your awesome milestone!

Mi querido amigo @meno.
No te imaginas cuánto bien me hace leer tus palabras...
A veces creemos que nuestras metas a corto plazo parecen tontas para otros, pero siempre habrá alguien como uno que las valora muchísimo.
Mi caso es el siguiente: Inicié en steemit en marzo 2018, pero para ser sincero publique 3 cosas y la abandoné todo un mes o mas.. Luego entendí como debía hacerse para ir subiendo en sp mientras haces publicaciones de calidad, cada ve mas gente me fue conociendo y en la actualidad tengo 155 días y 52.5 de reputación y 43 de SP, (como tu dices) para muchos no significará nada, pero para otros, esto es el inicio de un inmenso camino en este mar de conocimientos.
Gracias por compartir tus palabras cono nosotros,
Saludos desde Venezuela.
You can't imagine how much good it does me to read your words...
Sometimes we think our short-term goals seem silly to others, but there will always be someone like one who values them very much.
My case is this: I started in steemit in March 2018, but to be honest I published 3 things and abandoned it for a month or more... Then I understood how it should be done to go up in sp as you make quality publications, each time more people were getting to know me and now I have 155 days and 52.5 of reputación y 43 SP, (as you say) for many will mean nothing, but for others, this is the beginning of a huge journey in this sea of knowledge. Thank you for sharing your words with us,

Hey what is the code of this type alignment
@erode Estos son los comandos:
Don't slow down Kantos.. life is a little battle and consistency is key!
Cheers mate
That's right, but I feel that the battle is not with the world, it is with oneself to overcome oneself day by day @meno
Here's to long-term commitment and weird-tasting coffee :D
Congrats dude!
weird tasting coffee for the win!!!
Congratulations, @meno!
Well deserved. Next target: 10k!
We live in such exciting times! It will be exciting to see what your 7k SP turns into.
Oh ethan, some might call me crazy... but I see Steem at 10 bucks before december comes to a close. Lets see if im cray cray
That is a great job! Whoot... We should all celebrate success.
