Welcome to the 70th weekly installment of my series on Steem income and growth!
Income on the Steem blockchain is generated by "investment" (the more currency you have, the more you earn) and by "work" (earning currency by contributing content that adds value). All my crypto holdings are in the Steem currency. Now I'm working to earn more, by uploading unique valuable content to the blockchain.
Calculating weekly income
Considering income from accounts that I own, that my wife owns, and group projects using our funds (currently @drutter, @medikatie, @greatesteem, @hempy, @girlsofgreen, @sativazeee, & @vantocan), here's the running tally:

Average weekly growth (last 10 weeks): +30.6 Steem (+1.76%)
As expected, we had our best week of growth on record (over 8%), which boosted the 10-week moving average to a respectable 1.76% weekly. We've been spending more time putting out quality content since our disruptive long-distance move last month.
It has been a while since I graphed the growth data, so here's a week 70 update:
Not that rep means anything, but I've reached a new level each of the past 3 weeks. I'm not sure I'll be able to manage 64 by next weekend, but we'll see! :p
Our reputations are now 63, 55, 53, 48, 48, 48, and 47.
If my team's funds were in a single account, it would be the 4900th richest. We just broke into the top 5000. I have another big 3Speak video paying out this week - click here if you haven't seen it yet!
A sobering reality is that STEEM has hit a new USD low this week, under 25 cents, an all-time low against Bitcoin. We are making more of it than ever before, but it has never been worth less. We'll see how this plays out.

Reputation is an interesting part of Steem. Overall, I like it. The number isn't the be-all-end-all of information about the user, but it does tell you something. Maybe some of the rules around it could be tweaked to make it optimal, but for the most part I think it's useful and fun. It gives us something to strive for when the Steem price is so low that our posts/comments pay us essentially nothing.

All we know, is this is definitely not a get rich quick scheme.
It's probably not a get rich scheme at all, we'll see.
