This morning I saw I reach Reputation 78!

Only 18 other Steemians have this number in front of their name!

And yes, I know the number can be easily increased by buying votes but considering I never bought a single vote I feel like I did it organically from the start (July 2016).

It wasn't easy.

I had to show up every day, make content, make connections, invest in the platform, take the risk and grind.

And in doing so, I have built a foundation.

I'm now a 101 weekly author!

Yes! 101 weeks, 7 days a week, every day on Steem, not missed a post.

I remember almost failing this streak when the blockchain stopped last year but it got online just in time for me to continue my streak.

I also kept posting when everyone's voting Mana went to zero.

I didn't give a shit, I'm a Steemian now. I put in the work.

My blog is a big part of my life, I worked hard on it. It's my business. I want to grow it even today.

My biggest advice for anyone that wants to be a permanent Steemian is to build a foundation first.

When it comes to content it doesn't have to be on Steemit btw, some choose other projects to make their homes like Steemhunt or even Steem Monsters.

And these projects in themselves are amazing foundations build by noncontent creators, but programmers and other hard work people that saw an opportunity and took it on this blockchain.

Nobody told them to do it. They just did.

I choose the road of content but you can do and offer whatever you can to try to earn STEEM.

Look for opportunities, offer your skills to others. Do translate work. You name it. Hussle.

Steem for me is the blockchain of opportunity and not the blockchain of content.

But if you are one of those people that makes a post, collect your money after 7 days and take it out, you will always have to rely on others to sustain your blog.

You will never be independent.

Foundation in SP first, then think about sustainability.

Takes a bit of vision mind you.

With STEEM at 40 cents, you need a truckload of SP to be sustainable where I live.

Could be different for you. Calculate it.

If you know how much STEEMPOWER you need when STEEM is 40 cents then you only need half when STEEM is 80 cents or a quarter when STEEM is $1,60.

If you like me believe that STEEM will be $10 one day then you need to make sure you have at least enough STEEMPOWER today or work your way towards it TODAY so that when STEEM hits $10 you can generate the STEEM that you need from your STEEMPOWER to be sustainable when the price hits $10.

Don't wait until hits $10 first, then you are too late.

By then you will also have to compete with all the "Hey guys, I'm back...people"

Put in the work today. Earn, grind, invest in your STEEMPOWER today.

It's that simple.

Good luck building! Steem on!

I do love a steem progress post!

Congratulations.

Thoroughly deserved rep too, you're one of steem's anchor's if you ask me! As in someone whose long-term, heavily invested, obviously committed and also (importantly for me) completely nonymous (i.e. not anonymous).

I also notice from steemworld that around 1/3rd of yr SP or 75K is earned too, which is a mightily impressive total! But earnings aside, I agree that it's a great time for anyone to buy.... there's a number of us 'Dolphins' who attended SF3 who have been doing so and doubled our investment since - it's encouraging... I occasionally look at other people's SP and think 'oh hello, you've powered up again' - then two days later I'm on Coinbase again myself- when you can get a couple of hundred steem for around £70 (pretty much the same as Euros) it just seems rude not too.

And what with all the developments on steem and delegation possibilities I just feel that every penny I invest in steem has more utility than if I left it in the bank or put it in shares... I can do more with it, and it does more for me.

Anyway, 80 rep by the end of the year maybe?

Awesome comment man and thank you for your nice words. Always nice to read more dolphins or coming in existence.

Rep 80 by the end of the year will be impossible I'm afraid. It took me 4 months to go from 77 to 78 and every step is harder.

I didn't give a shit, I'm a Steemian now.

I need a T-shirt that has that on it.

If you like me believe that STEEM will be $10 one day then you need to make sure you have at least enough STEEMPOWER today or work your way towards it TODAY so that when STEEM hits $10 you can generate the STEEM that you need from your STEEMPOWER to be sustainable when the price hits $10.

Even now, a 15-18% ROI is realistic and that’s even before SMT’s. If (when!) Steem stays above $10, those with a decent-sized stake will have a nice income stream.

Yes! 100%. This is the time to build and grow!

Haha, I should get a t-shirt printed really.

Congratulations! That's an awesome achievement.

"Don't wait until hits $10 first, then you are too late."

This is so true. I quickly realized that it's easier to earn the more you have, but I've never really been in the position so I can power up everything I earn. Even though the situation haven't changed much, my mindset has. I am aware and I do things differently nowdays compared to in the earlier days. I don't power down to cash out, I power down to re-invest and in an attempt to establish some form of passive incomes through dApps.

I don't want to "start from scratch" when the price increase, I'm aiming for having liquid & enough stake to take advantage of it, and become more powerful.

Very solid words and also very solid work. I got my wife into Steem and we are slowly trying to build that foundation.
Good to see that consistent effort works...

Only 18 -78ers , that’s the number for all the work out in when others said sayonara ! So 78 is a PROUD TO BE moment so I say take a beer and celebrate throw that window of fasting out and bring in what window of opportunity right now, and celebrate. I am following somewhere behind in the steemisfere !

Woohoo!! A worthy goal attained. You deserve all of your success as you have kept your nose to the grindstone! Well done and well noted :)

Thanks!

Congrats, I hope to eventually reach the 70s myself, I made it to 64 so far and that wasn't easy either.

I use steem daily yes the rewards are nice but I like hanging out here, if eventually, it helps me pay some bills or do some cool stuff with the resources I accumulate all the better, im just here for the ride

Congratulations friend, it’ll take a miracle for me to taste what it feels like in Rep 78.

Whoah! Top stuff!

Congrats, I'm jealous of your ability to post consistently :-)

Thank you! If you consider some shorter content sometimes it's a little easier :)

I'm a victim of the image / brand I've tried to build for the "@sorin.cristescu" handle, it can only post long (and boring) posts if I don't want to "dilute it" :)
I do indulge in shorter posts as "@sorin.lite" but even there, I have trouble posting consistently ... Need to work on it ! :)

Ballin’ Status! 😎

It's wonderful to celebrate your achievement with Mark! What an accomplishment. I don't think i have made one week of consistent blog posts! Nevermind 101 weeks in a row! Damn! That's a real grind! It will pay in spades. All the best to you! Here's to hoping you can climb to 80 by year end 😉

Thank Jill!

Congrats on rep 78, wow! I also posted that day we had bupkis mana - it's the only week I made it onto Asher's curation rewards list! LOL.
I just hit 1000 SP, without any money to invest or buy votes, I'm grinding along to rep 63. I agree ...the blockchain of opportunity! :)

78 is a milestone for me.

Congrats on the milestone and thanks for being a great example of what is needed to be done for success. You are one of the few that not only proves it by its content but by buying in ad I continue doing (despite many saying I am crazy). I think your words come at a great time for me as I have been reflecting more about my journey so far...

Thank you so much!

!!! Bravo for this new achivement @exyle !!!


Congrats!

Nice achievement Exile! And very interesting thought that only 18 other ppl have such a rep...

How long has it been from 77 to 78? Would be interesting to plot your rep-growth against time. Could somehow be extracted from the blockchain, but I'm not smart enough to do that :)

I got to 57 recently, which I thought was nice already.

On 16-12-2018, I reached 77. 4 months ago.

Congrats on 57!

Congratulation to you my friend. As i am checking your all old post detail you have worked so hard to achieved it . Good luck to you for your further growth on STEEM platform.

The blockchain of opportunity
@exyle
That’s well said.

Yes. With many DApps coming online people can monetize their talents on the Steem blockchain. It’s a thought that one should explore new DApps as they go live to find out which ones they are comfortable with.

My biggest advice for anyone that wants to be a permanent Steemian is to build a foundation first.
When it comes to content it doesn't have to be on Steemit btw, some choose other projects to make their homes like Steemhunt or even Steem Monsters.
And these projects in themselves are amazing foundations build by noncontent creators, but programmers and other hard work people that saw an opportunity and took it on this blockchain.

@exyle

That’s great advice, sir.
That’s a fantastic continuous posting streak.

I try get 67 soon :))

Very nice one brother.
I admire your dedication to the work.
I hope I'll be this much dedicated too

This is some great advice and congrats on the milestone. That is really awesome. It appears I passed 65 at some point this past week. I don't think I ever would have dreamed my rep would be that high. Especially when I first started out.

Oh common, that is a milestone. I celebrate with you on that

Congratulations! 78 is superb.

Thank you so much for participating in the Partiko Delegation Plan Round 1! We really appreciate your support! As part of the delegation benefits, we just gave you a 3.00% upvote! Together, let’s change the world!

"Don't wait until hits $10 first, then you are too late."

Many people will be too late, that is for sure.
So we all should buy a little extra so we can give it away to friends, at higher levels. That's my vision.

Huge congrats on your achievement bro! the continuous hard work and effort definitely shows. Keep it up 🙌

Muy buenos tus consejos.
I am a content creator. I am working on my blog. Steem at 10... that would be great.

I have 45 I hope I reach soon
