What does turning 70 (rep) mean to me?
It has been a long old battle to get myself into the 70s reputation list, an early goal of mine established with the perception that people with a 70 after their name are people worth following. Because there are no accounts in their 80s!
The highest rep number is for @steemsports at 77.7
I cannot say for sure that being a 70 will change anything at all for me, but I can say that I am very happy to have finally achieved this goal.
What have been my most memorable Steemit achievements?
- I created @steemshop (with the assistance of some very awesome people) which is still in development, but week by week it gets closer to a becoming an exciting new Steem driven marketplace.
- I started a new dailyquotes tag and have popularised it by using it every day to share inspirational words & HDR pictures from my travels
I have educated many people about Steemit & cryptocurrency here in Bali with public training days and even private sessions
- Six months ago I started a Facebook group called Aspiring Steemit Whales & Dolphins which has grown into a beautiful supportive community.
- I have posted detailed tutorials on many things including how to make HDR photos, how to grow various fruits, how to change your life through the use of Law of Attraction... the list is long.
- I have posted here always with the intention of helping others live longer, happier and more productive lives.
- I have shared my crypto trading tips with much enthusiasm, with the intention of helping others watch their investments grow as I have done.
- I have shared my visual media freely with anyone who wishes to use it.

- I have shared with you consistently and honestly about my life... and how it came to be that I now live aside a jungle with two amazing children & beautiful partner... after setting out from London four years ago with nothing but a bag on my back.
In truth, the only site currently listing me as a 70 is good old Steem Whales
Still stuck behind @fishingvideos as you can see!
In the end it doesn't matter what the number says.
What matters is the feeling I have in this moment.
And the feeling is good.
It is VERY good.
Thank you all for making this possible for me.
It is my promise to you that I will continue producing awesome content dedicated to truth, beauty and the growth of this platform.
Hey, and I just noticed that my 700th follower joined me moments ago! Great timing :)
Some might say I am a Whale now, but I say I am just like you:
I am a fish who aspires to be bigger :)
Thanks again. My gratitude goes out to you all.
The reputation on steemwhales is accurate, I've already noticed that what's displayed on steemit is a little bit delayed.
Anyway, congrats on entering the "70's club"! Welcome! 👏😬
Thank you sirwinchester. It is an honour to see these words here. You have been a total inspiration all the way :)
I've felt like I've been on 60 for years.
You will get there my friend. Just keep on plugging away. Minimum two posts a day :)
Welcome to the 70+ club that I have recently achieved as well!
Look forward to working with you with #steemshop!
Thanks my friend. Appreciate the comment... and yes.... more Steemshop activity coming soon. If only there were more hours in the day!
Welcome. No hurry. Look forward to it.
70 already?! wow, u getting old! I kind of prefer 69 better myself though! 😱 lol
That's what I said to her last night ;) haha
Well, congratulations @samstonehill! Steemwhales is usually a couple of days ahead of the curve, so my guess it it'll be "Steemit Official" by midweek.
Either way, you're an inspiration to many and definitely an asset to the community!
Very excited about the @steemshop initiative; in fact to the degree that my wife and are setting up a separate Steemit account for our small town art and handmade crafts gallery... part of our own venture into expanding awareness of cryptocurrencies... the "Bitcoin accepted here" sign will soon go up on the door... and maybe we'll make a "Steem accepted here" sign, too! I believe that bringing actual commerce to Steemit will be a key ingredient in making Steem one of the leading alt coins.
Fantastic to see how you are embracing the steemshop concept. It makes perfect sense at a trade coin. We just need to keep building that awareness...
Onward and Upward!
Congratulations! You have worked hard for it.
I appreciate your work and your honesty. The dailyquotes tag helped me get going on daily posts. Keep up the good work!
It is my absolute pleasure and I must thank you as always for being such a great vocal supporter. I really appreciate that :)
Congratulations, I am excited to see how steem shop grows
As am I. More updates coming soon.
That is a truly awesome achievement! In SteemIt, and in life, there is no substitute for a good reputation. I hope you feel a deep sense of accomplishment and satisfaction from reaching a lofty goal which you set for yourself.
Thank you for your uplifting words. I do feel a deep sense of accomplishment though am aware that it is quickly been replaced with the next goal...
...must reach the top 100 users - based on rep!
currently 116...
Congrats. But it is still showing 69 publicly. I think it may 69.+some numbers. I still need to wait for few months to achieve 70 reputation score
Still not quite there....
It gets harder the higher you climb. It feels like it has taken so much work to go from 69 to 70. Far more work than 68-69!
Thanks for the comment and see you on the road to the top ;)
I know. I could feel it while achieving 66 from 65. It took months.
Congratulation Sam ! :)
Thanks very much my friend. Onward and Upward we fly!
