Top witness @donekim has posted more about UPVU 2.0...
2. Press4Steem Launched
Press4Steem is a new WordPress plugin for linking WordPress websites with the Steem blockchain.
The plugin is the first product of a new collaborative partnership between @Pennsif and the @SteemWOW witness development team.
This plugin will give site owners and bloggers the opportunity to continue using WordPress to create their content, while connecting to Steem for monetisation.
The Press4Steem plugin is now available to try...
While taking its inspiration from the previous SteemPress plugin, Press4Steem has been built from scratch to work with the new technology of the latest versions of WordPress.
Pennsif the Witness
After almost 2000 days on Steem I decided it was time to take my contribution to the platform to the next level.
I have therefore set up as a Steem witness... @pennsif.witness
If anyone would like to support what I already do, and what I am planning to do, by giving one of their 30 witness votes to @pennsif.witness I would be hugely grateful.

4. Power Ups Take A Dip
The latest stats from @remlaps this week have revealed a small decrease in the amount of STEEM that is powered up.
The past week has seen a 270K SP (0.16%) decrease to 166,598,417 STEEM powered up, equivalent to a value of $29,807,788...
@remlaps continues to track the impact of Steemit's burnsteem25 campaign encouraging people to set a 25% beneficiary to @null to reduce the amount of STEEM, which potentially will increase its value.
In the past week there have been over 900 burnsteem25 posts.
The total burnt since June has now exceeded 183K SP...
@remlaps has spotted that sites like CoinMarketCap.com have updated STEEM's circulating supply.
This has led to Steem's marketcap increasing which in turn has led to Steem moving up a dozen or so places in the rankings...
