As I was checking my Steemit wallet this morning (an activity which tends to happen on autopilot, lately), I noticed this very interesting pattern:
Now, for many people, 7 is a lucky number. It's also quite popular in pop culture or foklore: Snow White had seven dwarf friends, the week has seven days and so on.
7777.777 is also the highest number you can write with 7 digits in octal, if you don't take into account the separator (now I'm getting geeky, I know, can't help it). If you convert 7777777 from octal to decimal you get 4095, which is kinda boring, but not if you add 1 to it, and get 4096, which, converted to binary, gives us 0001000000000000. Now that's interesting. I could play with that all day, you know...
Also, according to numerology.com:
The number 7 is the seeker, the thinker, the searcher of Truth (notice the capital "T"). The 7 doesn't take anything at face value -- it is always trying to understand the underlying, hidden truths. The 7 knows that nothing is exactly as it seems and that reality is often hidden behind illusions.
Now, I wonder what's hidden under that wall of sevens in my wallet. I'll let you know when I'll find out.
P.S. I cheated a bit: I only had 7771 when I checked my wallet, so I did a quick power up, just to be able to take that wonderful screenshot.

Congrats on achieving that lucky amount. Even with a little bit of slight cheating, it's hard to get figures like that.

@dragoroua - It has been a while since someone mentioned Octal numbers. (and Hex for that matter). The world is all about decimal system now. What an amazing coincidence (helped by a little power up cheat) that you got that perfect max octal number as your steem power Very interesting, Thanks for sharing. Upvoted
Update at my end is that I have posted a blog with Original GIFs of 💕𝓐 𝓓𝓪𝓽𝓮 𝔀𝓲𝓽𝓱 𝓛𝓲o𝓷𝓮𝓼𝓼𝓮𝓼 that you may find interesting. I would be honored if you visit my blogs and take a look. Your valuable comments will be eagerly awaited. Thanks

I like cool numbers, but I don't believe they have special meaning. 7 does crop up a lot in culture. I think in China they like 8, but then 4 is bad for them, like 13 for some people. There was no 13th floor in a building I worked in.
Anyway, congratulations on having more S than you did before!

Yes, I know about cultural differences regarding auspicious numbers, especially the popularity of 8 in Asia. I was interested in numerology for a while and did quite a lot of reading (also astrology, which t the date still proves to be a valuable context descriptor). Funny that you didn't have a 13th floor :)

I didn't realise there is so much behind such a menial number like 7,777.777
I don't know why but I find it a little bit daunting and intimidating for some weird reason but that may be my dislike for everything being the same

Even if you had to help a bit with a tiny bit of Steem, it's still a pretty awesome milestone! I like non-round milestones than base ten ones. For instance, your next milestone can be 77783 which is the next prime number. Unfortunately, that's too close. But I think prime numbers are better milestones than base 10s.
