First of all I wanted to thank you all for your continuous support and your kind comments!

All your sincere encouraging words are much appreciated. Every each day I'm trying to do my best and give something back, if not a cheerful comment, then at least upvoting all your great posts, guys and girls :D

If you follow me, you might have noticed that all my posts the last two months were 100% power up posts.
Actually I've started to power up all my posts on March 14, when steem/btc rate was at almost at it's all-time low as well as steem/usd rate ($0.07-0.08). Definitely I viewed this situation as an opportunity to accumulate more steem power. Needless to say, I've stopped powering down long time before and had approximately 11,000 steem power by that time. Ironically that 100% power up post was downvoted by steemit "experimenters" as well as many posts after.

Soon after I've stumbled upon this great post: "The One Month Steemit Power Up Challenge! and thought that it's a great idea. So, I've posted about the challenge to my followers. You can find reports on my participation in the challenge in my blog.

By now, I've published almost two dozens of 100% posts and my personal stats are the following:

• 70.3 Reputation;
• 709 Followers;
• 2159 Posts (including comments);
• 17,552.359 Steem Power.
  (and just for the record: Estimated Account Value for today - $15,344.04)

For now after almost two months I consider my participation in the "The One Month Steemit Power Up Challenge! finished. Just to be clear I'm not going to power down my account at the moment. Given the current exchange rate of sbd/usd it might be a good idea to power up through trade/conversion of sbd->steem, and I'm definitely going to use this opportunity to power up.
