Soon I discovered that there were alternatives with a vote slider to interact with the blockchain withouth needing the 500 SP, although steem price continued its jorney downwards, making it necessary a lot more voting power to be able to have some influence; nevertheless, reaching that SP mark was one of my objectives before reaching 1 year on the blockchain.
And this week, a great steemian called @melinda010100 nominated me to this amazing initiative: #tenkminnows, and a push to make 250 new minnows this month! It still amazes me the amount of stuff and great projects that happens in the blockchain that I am unaware (as this one), and seeing persons and projects that go out of their way to selfishly help the smaller accounts just deserves my respect and gratitude!
To be honest, I still don't know if the messages I've received mean that I'm one of the lucky ones to be helped, or if I entered some kind of shortlist...or even if I qualify, because powering up all my liquid steem, together witn my current SP and the 50 Sp that I have delegated to 3 projects that deserve all my support, I cross that sweet threshold. But since removing the delegations to power myself up would be plain selfish, and unfair to those projects, I will leave them forgotten.
Either way... #tenkminnows challenge accepted! I will stop from trying to improve my steemmonsters deck for now, will power up all my liquid steem, and power up all gains until I reach that 500 SP mark! And that will be the minimum SP this account will hold. Once a minnow, forever a minnow! :)
UPDATE: And as of now, after powering up, I'm only 12 SP short of achieving that goal!
@paulag, @steemcommunity, thank you again for this amazing project! And if I can help fellow minnows in this challenge as well, please let me know! @steemcommunity, you got another witness vote, and one more than deserved.
Why the animal photography? Well, photography is one of my main focus when posting, especially wildlife. And I didn't had photos of my current rank, a small fish... so this cute lizard will do!
