Hi there my Steemit friends and followers!
Although the crypto world has been giving us a very little reason to be excited for the past couple of weeks and months, today is actually a very exciting day for me here on Steemit and I happy to share my delight with you :)
Today, almost 10 months after I decided to join this amazing platform, I finally reached the long awaited milestone of 5,000 Steem Power. According to local hierarchy, it also means that I just left my minnow rank and became a dolphin :)

I must admit I really value this achievement, especially because I have not invested anything from my own funds into my Steemit career - I have earned every single Steem here on this very platform by writing, curating, co-working with some other Steemians and - most importantly - by having fun here! :)
Curiously enough, my followers base reached the 1,500 mark just two days ago I think, which is another milestone that I am really grateful for but the truth is I would never ever be able to achieve neither of them without your help and support, my dear Steemit friends and followers. So thank you so much guys, I am just so thankful for having all of you around! :)
I think this is also a great opportunity for some little giveaway so the first five people who will comment on this post will get 1 SBI share each from me. But no bots and no spammers please. You know what I mean - "nice post bro" type of comments does not count ;)
Now let me wrap this post up with a bit of education too. Dolphins are actually among my very favorite animals and some time ago, I was privileged to write a post about them. It was for a website called List25, not here on Steemit, but if you want to check out that article, you can find it here.
Congrats! I hope you will be a whale one day!
Thanks man! :)
💙💙💙
.. zachvilku Keporkáček :-*
Uvidíme :) Nějakou dobu budu určitě rád delfínem :) Posílám ti 1 SBI share :-*
Congratz! :).. Well deserved! My goal is to reach 5000 sp soon! Then I will also be dolphin! :D
Thanks buddy :) You are almost there too ;) Btw paying 1 SBI share for you now ;)
Wow. That's amazing to achieve that in 10 months @phortun. I've been here 9 and have only earned about 1000 SP from writing despite working my socks off.
Congratulations on becoming a dolphin. I'm gobsmacked! 😁
Thank you so much Gillian. I know you have been steeming really hard here - those over 17 thousand posts and comments of yours speak for themselves. I am sure you will reach this milestone too one day :) Happy to pay 1 SBI share for you!
Thank you @phortun. Every bit helps> I appreciate it.
But I honestly don't think I could post and comment my way to 5000. It took me 8 months to get to a 1000 and, as more time passes, the harder and harder it will get to earn SP from blogging from what I've heard.
Without an account with a lot of clout upvoting my posts I no longer believe it is possible.
Either that or I'm missing a trick somewhere. 😂
Thanks again for the SBI share and congratulations again on your dophinhood! 😊
I hear you Gillian. I guess I was a bit lucky too that I got to cooperating with some big guys here, which makes a huge difference of course but I really think you can still make it to the "dolphinhood" (nice term btw :D) at least too. However, everyone should still enjoy being here in the first place. Without that, it would be really hard I think...
yes. I agree. This is key @phortun. Thanks for the encouragement! 😊
You are welcome! Btw I can see you are almost at halfway to the dolphin (with 2,355 SP) - which is still a very impressive feat too. I have also invested most of the Steem I have earned into my SP with just a few minor cash-outs. So hang in there Gillian, you have been doing great ;)
Your balance is below $0.3. Your account is running low and should be replenished. You have roughly 10 more @dustsweeper votes. Check out the Dustsweeper FAQ here: https://steemit.com/dustsweeper/@dustsweeper/dustsweeper-faq
Congrats!! I like dolphins and humpbacks as well
Díky díky, už se těším na tvůj post o potápění s keporkaky na Tonze :)) Jenže to bych tě k tomu musel nejdřív dokopat, co? :D Btw posílám ti jeden SBI share, pak ti v Koktáči vysvětlím co to je a k čemu je to dobré ;)
Congratulations, that is a huge milestone! Keep going like this and in a few months you will be a whale :D
Thanks Julian! A whale? Haha, maybe in ten years :D I like dolphins, they are amazing creatures :) Btw paying 1 SBI share for you now ;)
Dolphins are awesome :) Thanks a lot Petr!
Huge congratulations Peter! Some great achievements all at once. I am sure it will all pay off well enough at some point in the future. Keep up the great work and Steem on!
Thank you so much Tomas! :) You know I wouldnt´be where I am now without your support ;) And let´s hope you are right about the future :))
whoa amazing!!!!!! good job!!!!
Thank you :) I can see you have been doing amazing on Steemit too :) Keep up the great work!
They grow up so quickly
sniff
Next step 10k SP? :D LETS GOOO!
You are at 8k after your recent investments but ok, let´s have a little competition :) See you at 10k :D
It was merely a good trade between cryptos that allowed me to do it! haha:) hopefully more to come o

Great work!!!
Thanks Martijn! :)
Gratulace k tolika milníkům najednou :-)
Díky moc! :)
Gratuluju chlape!
A vzhůru mezi kytovce! ;)
Dík! :D
You attained this feat without investing your own money in 10 months? This is hard to believe! Congrats first. But please, how did you do it?
Thank you :) Well, a LOT of steeming, networking and cooperating with other members ;)
Please you can give me some clues of your networking tactics if you wouldn't mind. I steem alot and also connect but it hasn't been paying off. You're the first that I've seen here recently that achieved a dolphin status without investing personal cash. I used to think that it's not possible because that's what everyone at the top seem to be saying to those of us at the base.
I am afraid there is no particular recipe. I can just tell you I have been steeming long hours every single day, working on my blog, working with/for other people, interacting with the community here on the platform as well as in private chats, discords etc. If you dont want to invest your funds in it, it takes a lot of hard work, dedication and probably also luck to succeed here. Good luck and Steem on! :)
Thanks for the response. I appreciate
Blahopřeji Ti k povýšení, jen tak dál ;-)
Děkuji :)
Congratulations,not only for you are a dolphin now but also for being kind and humble person:):)
Thank you for these nice words :)
Tak delfín. Hmm. Ať se ti v tom moři kolem Steemit u dobře plave :-D
Díky moc :D
Congratulations!!! I am really glad for you!!! You are a really sweet guy and I like a lot your travel pictures and your post about animals!!! Keep steeming haha!!!
Thank you so much Anna for these kind words :) I really appreciate it!
You are welcome!
Woo hoo... excellent... I can’t wait to get there too...
