Ah the sweet smell of progress, I'm loving it, I had one real goal that I set myself on day one of joining Steemit & that was to pay back my vestment shares of 15 Steem, As I understand it they lend that to all new users just so they can integrate with the platform & the sooner we can pay it back then the better it is for the platform overall. I thought it would actually be a lot more difficult than it turned out to be as I never planned to invest any funds into it. All I had was a pound of flesh in hard work to get the job done & I did it without the use of any bots. I just slowly captured the cents & powered up with everything.

All it has cost me is the hours I have spent browsing the internet & that time hasn't increased one bit, I have just found a new site is all & I have already been doing that for more years than I can even care to remember. I haven't made a post every day like many suggest to do sometimes I haven't even posted once a week, I have just tried to use up my votes wisely & pass comments on things that interest me whenever I can & as a bonus forged some new friendships on the way. I haven't commented on as many posts as I would have liked too because as a newbie I kept running out of bandwidth though not through the lack of trying.
The stabilizers are off the bike, Thanks Steemit you can lend them to someone else now.

I couldn't of timed it any better as Steemit itself has passed it's own milestone of having over 750,000 users on board, that's fantastic growth for the platform, to put it in perspective I was close to the 600,000th user to join in mid December so in less than 2 months over 150,000 new users have joined, The same number as a quarter of all the users that were here when I joined.
Watch over your shoulder Reddit we are coming for you!!!
I cant see the growth stopping myself that means by my prediction if you are reading this post & you are already a user then you are going to be a whale on here, It's just a matter of time before it comes. A whole lot of your main incomes will be coming through your keyboard skills which you have already shown yourselves as competent enough with.
Even an old tee total like me might join you in just a little drink to that.

My next milestone is to get to 50 Steem power. It won't take long, Time flies when you're having fun.
