RE: Put it away: Why to Power Up a little continually
Thank you for the kind words. They mean a lot to me coming from you.
my Steem seems to grow slower than a glacier moves. Why is that? Am I missing something?
I peeked at your account and while it may seem slow to you, you are actually doing really well. According to another comment you made here in this post, you have earned every bit of your SP. You have double mine and I have invested a little. From another post that @tarakp made that has a breakdown on how many members fall in what level of SP holdings.

Based on the numbers, your account is in the top 19224, and without better numbers to work with I would hazard a guess that you are actually within the top 17000 or so. According to the figures on the chart he provides, only 1% of Steemit has 500 or more SP.
As I am discovering more daily, the more skin you have in this, the quicker your rewards will accumulate. I would say you are missing nothing, and you might just be the best example I have seen of one who has done as well as you have off the back of the sweat put in here in contributing and networking. Others are drawn to your energy and views. You don't see it, but you are a perfect example of how this can work if others value your contributions.
Of course, this was a given since I follow you and interact on so many of your posts. I only write books in the comment sections of quality posts. 😁
Well Dang! Guess I might even pat myself on the back then. You seem to be well balanced in posting and commenting, and in your tech savy. That's my biggest weakness: tech. It seems to me that most, if not all, of the folks who get past Minnow level all have pretty good tech savy and are invested in all sorts of apps, and crypto's, and services to Steemit, etc. Like @davemccoy. He has his hand in several ...I don't even know what to call them... apps? Oh, well I'm one kick ass poet! Blessings.
This gave me a chuckle. I am far from tech savvy, shying away from all apps. I don't trust them, and the only reason I finally gave crypto a chance at all was because of this platform here. This place naturally began with tech savvy people, but over time this dynamic is changing. As you see communities grow, accounts set up to help people in their normal everyday lives as we see taking hold here the tech knowledge grows to be less of a qualifier.
I don't use Discord, I don't use Steemconnect, I don't use Ginabot or any of the other things pushed out as necessary. And without any of them, here we are conversing and building a foundation together. Using people savvy to do so. 😃
Well crap. Somehow I got the impression you were a tech whiz. I bet you are and just don't tell people you are a super geek. That must be it.
Every week I tell myself that this week I'll take on one tech app and try and understand it completely. So far it's been 14 weeks and ... well, things just keep getting in the way somehow!
