Hello again,

I've done a little bit of powering up!

I've powered up **215.593** STEEM today so that you don't have to.

I've done this because I am for sure in the long game. I also want to get as far as possible within the year, and I believe that I may even be able to reach dolphin status by the end of this year. I'm now just over halfway to that point, **2,543.687** SP.

Imagine your local CADolphin swooping by, especially with the new rewards curve, I'd like to make a bigger addition/dent to rewards.

I hope that you'll join me in believing that #newsteem is the way forward! Although many people I know are feeling negative about the whole STEEM thing, I think we will persevere, especially with all the new apps and programs joining the chain daily. With such big innovations, I don't think STEEM will go down the dump.

Anyway, only time will tell, and I'm going to stick around with time too. Let's hope the whales who poured $$$ into this chain are willing to make a change for the better and help clean up STEEM. From my last post, we can see this is beginning to happen with the likes of Traf changing his ways and taking a more active role in the community.
