RE: The Curation and Engagement Leagues 🏆 - STEEM prizes & steem-bounty available! 🎁
I've bought about 120 Steem @genalbrethsen, back in March.
I was going to buy some more when it went below $1 which of course it didn't do.
I guess it depends on what you're expectations are and whether you're fulfilling them, getting closer to fulfilling them, or you see yourself able to fulfill them in the future. Do you?
I'm at a point of reassessing this because I've realised this last week or so that my expectations were unrealistic as to the time it would take to build Steem Power.
And on that note I really must go to bed. I'm late again! 😁
Back in March. Okay. Still, that leaves a pretty good accumulation of SP from posting, commenting and curating, which I find amazing. Well done. :)
I haven't done exhaustive research, but it only stands to reason that no one here has made whale status (500,000 SP) simply by posting and curating on Steemit. The payouts would need to be extraordinary to get there in two years. Let's say someone pumped out 25 posts a week. They would need more than $192 SBD/SP netted each post to get there by now. To be an orca you factor down by ten to $19.20, which is still rather ambitious, but possible. Maybe there are a few of the Steemit made orcas floating around.
In reality, though, the vast majority of those who have been working for the last two years here aren't going to be much more than mid-sized dolphins. And because retention is lousy, the number of those still hanging around are going to be dwarfed by the potential dolphins there could be now if they'd found their community, hung around and worked away.
So, in my case, I've been doing reassessments on a regular basis, and it's been helpful. Step by step and little by little, we get there. If we stop though, we don't. It might not be quite that simple, but it's not that far off.
