It's been a long time coming but 10,000SP is about to happen on my account. I'm not quite sure what it means in a real-world scenario however it's the culmination of a lot of effort since June 13th 2017. A lot of blogging and a very small amount of fiat investment. [I don't have much to spare for this sort of thing so it's small through necessity.]
I'm not sure how much steem has been purchased with fiat however at a guess I'd say around 1000. It has helped that the steem price has been low...But it can rise anytime from now. Quite probably I need to wait until get to around 11,000 before I start getting excited about my small SP achievement however I think just reaching the five figure mark is a reasonable effort all things considered. I've had to blog a lot, certainly over once a day in every single day since my account went live. It's taken effort and considering my blogs are rarely less that 500 words...Well, it's been time consuming.
I've read a few reasonably negative blogs from a few users mainly in respect of the toxicity that seems to plague steem, quite possibly sparked by HF21 and ill-feeling harboured from situations from the past and I sort of get it. I agree in the main. Having said that I'd like to see things come together, to coalesce into something great, which I'm sure it can. If only we could find some consensus rather than bicker, bitch and moan about things, argue and complain like a bunch of asshole politicians in the real world. You know, all the things that we hate about the real world, the bullshit that brought us here to this decentralised arena in the first place. Funny that many just perpetuate the idiocy they claim to repudiate in the real world...
It's quiet here at the moment however maybe that's a great time for some of the smaller accounts to get noticed, for some of the larger ones to take a look around and see what's out there, who they can comment on and engage with. Take it from me, large accounts, a little engagement from you, a comment and some encouragement, for us small people can mean a lot.
Anyway, 10,000 will happen soon and I feel pretty satisfied with my effort to gain that number after just over two years of work. I look forward to the future picking up and for steem to provide options for all of us here who have worked hard to gather some together.
Design and create your ideal life, don't live it by default

Massive congratulations - 10K is a nice place to be.
Especially since you earned it mainly blogging!
It is quiet around here recently you're right.

Thanks mate, I've applied myself. My bloody brother has been slave-driving me. He's a hard task master. 😂
I'm optimistic that my effort will not go unrequited however there's a chance it may. Still, I write as well, and as interestingly, as I can and hope that I pick up a few decent votes here and there and some good followers. I struggle to make sense of why sometimes and yet I power on with another blog and keep pushing.
We'll see where it goes.
Thanks for your message, means a lot.

Goals are important, as are the plans laid to reach the goal. It's a plan that got me to (almost) 10,000SP and whilst the best-laid plans rarely roll out perfectly just in having the mindset to lay the plan initially often means the right mindset to work around unexpected roadblocks, you know, have contingencies.
All the best with your goal. Keep me in the loop, I'm interested to see how you go.
Thanks for your comment. 🙂

I'm just oming up on 500 organically. I'm just astounded by the effort and energy you've put in to get to where you're at. I'm tempted to go buy a beer to virtual cheers all the steemians like yourself that stick it out and keep their contributions coming through thick and thin. Bravo!

Thanks though, yes it has taken a lot of work. It's hard now though, I get it. Hard for new accounts hence my small initiatives to try and support a few here and there. I engaged a lot with others when I started out, but steem was different back then. Still, just keep pushing huh? I can guarantee what happens if you do nothing. Nothing. So doing something is the only way to make something happen.
I know it's demoralising at times though. Stick it out though. Find a reason to.

Yea, I'm finding like minded people I'd definitely hang out with IRL, so even if it gets a bit frustrating at times with the echo (is there anybody out there vibes) I appreciate the community and enjoy the opportunity to chat up cool people and play catch up on technology and crytpto.
Now, to "take out the trash" sneak a 🍻 and tell the wife I was attacked by a monitor lizard that took my money and my dignity.

Sounds good! I haven't tried the Vegemite on toast yet but I bet I can tune into F1 as its pretty popular here.
I can't stay up for copa america so some racing could check out. Enjoy your evening!

Yes indeed though I hoped by now I would be making something like $100 AUD a week on the steem ecosystem. If things don't get moving here soon I will have to get more work to pay my way.

Man that has come up quick. You have bought a bit more? :D
I kind of feel sorry for you because you came on and followed me down the content creator path which means, a lot of work. 10K is a huge achievement though so congrats!!

Nah, just want you know I purchased. Smashed out a few posts here and there and managed to collect a decent vote now and then somehow.
Yep, content creation seems a fool's errand here and yet it's what I enjoy. We'll see, maybe my hard work will pay off. I hope so.
If only some huge account came across me and started voting every post no matter what. I could start posting fucked up memes and make a fortune. Alas, that doesn't seem to be my path.
I appreciate your help in all of this. Wouldn't be here at all if it wasn't for you, and certainly wouldn't still be here after all this time.
Maybe it'll come good and I can retire before I'm 147 years old.

Congratulations on the pending 10,000 !!! I don't know much about what it means in the real world scenario but I think, for me, it means a milestone of commitment and contributions that you have built in Steemit (and with Steem), so that's pretty awesome :D
Well done, @galenkp \o/ !!!

Thanks @veryspider I appreciate your comment.
Hopefully the steem price rises and my 10,000 actually have some tangible value out in the real world.
