RE: Crossing the 10K Steem Power Barrier
Congratulations! What a mile marker!!! I actually just turned over Dolphin not long ago, and let me tell you, it was a painful journey. Okay, not painful, but, I did it the old fashioned way.
I didn't do bid bots or buy in frankly because I felt like I wouldn't care if it all went away because all I had was time invested. Well, the first thing I did after I became a dolphin was to buy a couple of hundred steem! May I just say that I should have done that sooner???
Ugh!
Well, long story short, I had no idea I would love this place so much. It has changed, but, I am not unhappy with the changes. Just things like commenting two days later on a post. Is it worth it? Probably not, but, I did want to congratulate you as it is going to be a hard journey earning it now. But, hey!! You can't buy this kind of fun, am I right? :)

Dolphin level without buying is very tough. I remember reading you mentioning this.
Glad to hear you did buy some. I feel that is the best way to show support since it definitely creates a demand for Steem. Other activities creates indirect value.
I feel I can also reward people's posts more now as the value was getting quite low and the amount of content I like quite a lot.
You see! I agree with that philosophy! I just couldn't justify it before. Now, I love to tip and upvote, although, to be honest, my upvote is still small, despite my SP. I guess everyone's is.
But, I am waiting to see if it will go down a little more and buy more. I do believe it Steem and I definitely will be trying to grow in it.
Thank you! Have a great night!
I actually really like your tipping idea as it preserves vp while decently rewarding your following. Tipu is a good one too as they don't send a massive advertisement and it's value isn't 0.0000001 steem or something.
