Congratulations on the achievement of a new milestone!
The ultimate lesson I've learnt on the Steem blockchain is that to succeed one must be consistent in not only blogging and interacting with others but in accumulating SP to become influential, worth following, and reward others.
Today, I have reasons to smile at my relative success on Steem and I am quite optimistic that the future holds great promises for STEEM.
I have to thank you for sharing the lessons you've learned from your experience, in particular, I think I fully share what you mention in this part.
