WOW!!!

It finally happened, and I just can't say thank you enough.

It was only four months ago that I hit the 1000 followers mark. It's amazing how much has happened in four short months. In that time, I have

• Finished the third draft of a book.
• Begun the publication process.
• Seen the cryptocurrency world go through some growing pains (but also show great promise).
• Amped up my Steemit rewards and made new friends on the platform.

And I just want to take this moment to thank all of you for being my 2000+ followers.

What Now?

I still haven't achieved my goal of a 70+ reputation score. But with my posts bringing in more money, that is now within reach. The Steemit community is still growing, and I'm still building my platform here.

As more people discover Steemit, I hope to spread my influence even further. I still upvote commenters who upvote my posts first. I still enjoy interfacing with all the other creative people here.

And I still intend to chronicle my journey to publication here on Steemit. Hopefully, the effort will culminate into a physical product that I can advertise on the platform, while showing people here all the things I did to make it happen.

What I Wish For

I wish for the price of Bitcoin to rise to $5,000,000 per coin. And I wish that that Bitcoin Moon will pull all other legitimate cryptos up with it, in a gravitational tide that will sweep the whole world. Imagine a world where Steem is worth $50 a piece, where even the smallest minnows can supplement the income from their day jobs, and the more established players can quit their day jobs altogether. Imagine a world that gets all its news from Steem, where the big newspapers and newschannels all have their own Steem pages (or simply use SMTs for their own websites).

Maybe that world will never come, but just imagine what it could do for all of us if we achieved even 10% of that dream.

Thanks Again!

Some of you have been with me from the beginning. Others are just discovering me. But all of you deserve my thanks. You've given me so much and made me happy just to have a web presence. I wouldn't have made it this far without you.

Please keep an eye on my blog in the coming weeks. I don't know what's going to happen next, and I'm trying to keep my hopes grounded, for now, but I believe that the most amazing things can happen at the drop of a hat.

I wish you all as much success as I have had, and thank you for your continued support.

Here's to us.
