RE: Steem journey: Reflecting on the path so far
I remember that, from some post a while back, that we started here on the same date. You're far better at writing than I am, though... I'm only at 727 top level posts. But I do remember suffering through that 7-cent Steem and how cool it was to have a couple of posts hit the $50-ish mark, which meant getting 200+ SP for my efforts.
I regret having powered down, last year... but it was pretty much a choiceless choice; we had unexpected bills, no savings and the Steemit account was "available." Now I'm just trying to claw my way back towards that "middle class" we're always talking about... first stop 5000SP, which is not horribly far away.
I was fortunate I didn't realise it wasn't normal and unfortunate I didn't realise it wasn't normal.... :) I never came close to $50 posts but i got curied once for 15 dollars and that was good for me. Just think what those few dollar posts could be worth in the future :)
The powerdown is unfortunate but, if the resource is there and needed, it is what it is. I talk about the shame in powering down and selling what I think is cheap but, it also depends on life circumstance and understanding.
