I am very glad that I did keep on engaging when the price of Steem did drop. Lots of people did not put enough effort anymore in being active. But due to this I could tripple my SP holdings. They forgot that the reward pool was still the same and because lot less people were active it was easier to get a share of the reward pool and it was a lot easier to get noticed!
I will probably never become a whale, orca or dolphin but I do enjoy myself here. Hopefully I will reach minnow status before the end of the year. Still 356 SP needed!
