My goal is to have 1000 SP by the end of the year

I'm talking about 1000 SP that does not include leased SP.

I now have 723 SP in my wallet and 15 SP pending. A lot of it is delegated and I'm earning some small STEEM and SP from that. I also regulary lease SP so my voting power can be decent. I'm not really sure it's a net positive in the end between delegation/leasing but for now I'll keep it that way.

I also have about 19 SBD in my wallet and 35 SBD pending.

I expect Steem to be around 9-10 $ in the last three months of 2018 so author and curation rewards will go significatly up. That's why 1000 SP is a very reasonable and achievable goal.

It will be a nice milestone for me personally. Can't wait.

My hope is that Steem is one day worth 50-100 $ range.

That would mean 1000 STEEMx50$/STEEM = 50.000 $ or 1000STEEMx100$/STEEM = 100.000 $.

Not bad :)

1000 SP here I come.
