Hello @waterjoe,

It's great to see that you are actively participating in the Steem education festival contest and also encouraging your friends to join as well. You are also taking advantage of the different ways to increase your Steem Power, which is a great way to have more control over the content you post on Steem.

You explained the concept of Steem Power well, and it's true that continuously Powering Up is like filling a piggy bank. Over time, it will be full and you will have more control over your content on the platform.

It's also great to see that you are utilizing different tools like steemnow.com and steemworld.org to monitor your account's performance and to check for account recovery. And it's clear that your Steem Power has a positive influence on your growth on the platform. By voting on quality content, you are able to receive curation rewards which in turn increases your Steem Power.

You also mentioned the #club5050 campaign and its impact on the growth of Steem Power. It is true that this campaign is very useful in maintaining the growth of the Steem ecosystem. By committing to power up a certain percentage of your rewards, you are helping to maintain the growth of the platform.

Keep up the good work and thank you for sharing your experience and knowledge with the community. Best of luck in the contest.

Regards, @fabiha
