1000 Steem is a lot. I made a lot of Steem purchases last year. Technically it is still in well in my target buy price and I don't think it's going back down anytime soon. No point in having reward earned Steem sitting idle so I like to power up about 1 time a week. I've gotten tired of making posts just about Steem, so I think a decent series of unrelated pictures is great.
