Congrats for the 70. I think increasing level after 50 is somewhat difficult, because I reached 50 in a month, but now the same people's votes who made me reach here doesn't make much difference in my reputation. It is slow growth acter 50 and maybe it will be slower after 60, you must be knowing it better.
Also good to know about gour mug you paid for in Steem. This builds more confidence among the Steem community.
