I have finally hit a huge milestone - 1000 followers!
@gmatthe2 was my number 1000 - and as a special thank you, I have sponsored her a share of Steem Basic Income (SBI)!
(Take a look at one of her recent posts which @bengy featured in his PIFC entry - Reversible Origami Shallow Bowl with Secret Compartment - this is a stunning bit of origami.)
Contest!!!
I would like to sponsor one or more additional shares this week from a contest. As such, I want to hear from you!
Please tell me:
What does 1000 mean to you?
Every creative or informative answer will be entered into a draw for a share of SBI! How many shares will I sponsor? It probably depends on the number of entries...
Rules
- Put in a comment something that 1000 says to you... or something it means to you. (It needs to be creative or informative though - so put your thinking caps on!)
- Upvoting/resteeming is optional, but appreciated as it will increase the number of shares I feel like sponsoring.
- If you do a whole post on it, I will upvote you. (My vote is only worth 0.02, but it's something.)
- Deadline - post payout.

Yay @viking-ventures!! What a great achievement!! One which could only have been capable by putting in hatlrd work and consistently producing high quality content. At the same people find your account valuable and rewarding!! Its more than just gaining followers, its about building relationships with like minded individuals!! And i guess that's what 1000 followers means to me!!
Very true! People who come purely for the money don't stay - because Steemit is definitely more about relationships. Great place!
Thank you for your entry.
Thank you lady!! Here's to your next thousand followers!! Ching, ching!
Congratulation @viking-ventures 😉 1000 is a milestone for everyone here on Steemit, harder than to have 5000 friends on facebook.
A thousand followers mean anything to your account to grow because I read somewhere about the total sp of your followers will increase your rshare. I must check it out again 😉 and fyi.. I don't put my comment to win sbi share 😆 it's been sometimes I haven't had time to visit your post.
lol re 5000 friends on Facebook! Actually, I tend to go into a panic when I hit 1000 friends on Facebook and start looking at the list and work out who shouldn't be there anymore, lol. (I've got fewer than 700 right now.) I don't actually have a problem with a larger number - I've lived in enough places that I pick up some everywhere... but when I get around to the birthdays and don't recognize the name, it's usually time for them to go, lol.
I'm not convinced that SP and number of followers have a lot to do with each other, though maybe someone like @bengy or @thedarkhorse can correct me if I'm wrong.
Okay, so you're not entering - but I appreciate your visit all the same!
(And it looks like Gina is way behind again.)
No, nothing to do with each other. SP is your investment in the Steem chain, the amount of tokens that you have locked up and staked. Followers are just people that you will appear in the feed of... Of course, with more followers, you might be getting more votes... which leads to more SP, which leads to more people following a larger account... but it isn't a direct correlation!
Followers have nothing to do with your growth other then hypothetically they will actually look at your content. If you find anything that shows other then this please let me know, but this would lead to MASSIVE manipulation with follow me and I'll follow you BS.
well... it must be me who made a wrong interpretation about the total of steem power of followers that could be influence our reputation, LOL, because it's the upvotes not the followers. I think something happens to ginabot again, you know nadear has a probs to fix the nodes, but somehow.. it worked ok today.
That's why I tagged the others - to help you understand better. :-)
Gina might have more work than she can manage at the moment... I hope they can get her more reliable again. I do appreciate their work though!
Grats!! @viking-ventures. A milestone is a milestone. If it is something you set for yourself AWESOME. I'll be happier when your reach 60 and 500 SP :D Could you imagine what you could do with 1000 SP?? Think of the impact you would have when curating? I love that I got a little bump up to be able to upvote more PIFC participants and members. Sadly it's going away soon. I'll have to win another contest LOL.
Yes, I'll be very happy when I reach 500 SP natively. I've also had a little boost for the week while I'm guest judging. It's been fun so far, but of the six I've looked at thus far, four deserve to win! How do you choose?!
Nope not dreaming of 1000 yet! lol. One step at a time. (Is 1000 then you graduate out of minnowhood?)
Thank you for your entry!
1000 is the number of years I'd need to live, to properly visit all the incredible places of this World! 😉
This is very true - and a great answer. Do you think The Doctor has managed to see all the incredible places?
Thank you for your entry.
If he hasn't... what is he waiting for? By the way, do you know Douglas Adams' Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy? Best book ever!
I've only seen the movies thus far - both the more recent one and the BBC series.
The movies suck. They're not worth watching. But the book is hilarious! 😂
1000 are the chances of me winning this...1 on 1000
That's very pessimistic, lol. So far, your odds are 1 in 5. :-)
Thank you for your entry.
1000 was the number of times I had to read "Green Eggs and Ham" to my sons as a bedtime story. I love Dr. Seuss and all, but come on! One thousand re-tellings of the same story?! SHEESH
Awesome (and very truthful) answer! Never do anything for kids that you're not willing to do at least 1000 times! How many books do you have memorized because of this? My aunt and uncle can still recite How the Grinch Stole Christmas - and their youngest is 32 now!
Thank you for your entry!
hahaha, still being able to recite the book 32 years later! 😁
1000 or one thousand is the natural numberfollowing 999 and preceding 1001. In most English-speaking countries, it is often written with a comma separating the thousands unit: 1,000.
Posted using Partiko Android
In most European countries, they use a decimal for separating the thousands with a comma used after that, hence you might have 1.000,99 to mark a price ending in 0.99 Eurocents.
It's kind of weird and I don't know why they do it opposite us...
Thank you for your entry!
Congratulations! You have come a long way!
Here's what I think of when I think of 1000:
Skip to 1:47 and watch on.
lol - that's just hilarious!!!
Thank you for your entertaining entry!
Thank you @viking-ventures. I followed you because your ongoing novel had me intrigued and I wanted a chance to find it when I had more time to sit down and read. Thankyou for the SBI and congratulations on your milestone.
Essays come to mind when I think of a thousand and breaking each thousand words into manageable parts 100 for the intro 100 for the conclusion 200 for each point being covered so find nine points to discuss for a two thousand word essay.
I do hope you get the chance to catch up. When you are - there are others in the collection that I've already shared... :-)
Yes, 1000 is definitely a good start for an essay - 2000 even better.
I guess for me, 1000 words means I've almost replenished the amount I shared in a fiction post. 2000 makes me feel really good and anything over that is a bonus - for days when I have to work on something else like editing or character indexing as I've been working on the past two days...
Thanks so much for the entry!
I remember my childhood when I was at school.I really like math..
I can calculate without using a Calculator.
because every number that has a zero end is an even number and this number makes me open the memory of my school years to get to know mathematics and how to calculate mathematics.
I like number 1000 because that is the first memory that I learned about math even when I was 12 years old..
I really like your answer.
Thank you for your entry.
1000 is the highest bill here in the Philippines.
Thanks for this contest and Congratulations for reaching a thousand!
Ah, 1000 pesos. I was just looking it up - it's not even $20! Seems a little strange, but I know that cost of living usually adjusts to the local currency. It would sure feel good to the American spending there!!!
Thank you for your entry.
That's what my cousin said when he came from America. Everything seems to be so cheap haha.
You're welcome!
A very big congratulation to you for this. This is reall a milestone in its own.
The number 1000 to me its just a number, a stage in an achievement in life, remember when you were in primary school while you can count up to that, there is this eagerness to know whats next and thats what i want you to keep in mind.
What is next?.
Yes, that's a good way of looking at it.
What's next? My next goal (and worthy of celebration) is my graduation from "redfish" to "minnow" in about 150 SP (only counting my native SP, not my delegations.)
Thank you for your entry.
Congratulations on reaching 1000. 1000 is the amount of SP I set out to accumulate this year, even though I may not get there. Well that's what came to mind...lol
Thank you. My immediate goal is getting to 500 SP (natively) so I can keep this shiny slider...
Good answer.
Thanks for your entry.
You just planted 0.05 tree(s)!
Thanks to @viking-ventures
We have planted already 3424.47 trees
out of 1,000,000
Let's save and restore Abongphen Highland Forest
in Cameroonian village Kedjom-Keku!
Plant trees with @treeplanter and get paid for it!
My Steem Power = 30458.82
Thanks a lot!

Congratulations! 1000 is an incredibly special number, it is the last natural number before 1001...which is in itself very special, being the last natural counting number before 1002..which is...
I think the tick of the odometer ending in all zeros is more interesting, but you made me laugh, so I will count it. Thanks for your entry.
Don't count me for an entry, I have enough shares! I just couldn't resist though...
As you wish. :) How many is enough shares though? I need to work on sponsoring more myself - I have around 25 I think now - enough for an 0.05 upvote on my posts, anyway.
I'm not sure, I have no idea how many I have, but I am sure there are others that need one more. I sponsor people each week, so I get mine that way. There are others that don't have the spare liquid Steem to do that, so they should try to win them!
Absolutely! By far, most of my shares have been won/earned. I've only sponsored five or six now. Right now, I get Steem more than I get SBD! (I really need to win/earn some more of that too now.)

I should have remembered that tag, but I couldn't at the time!
When you study History there is a great disadvantage: you see every single number as a date.
1000 BCE: a century full of changes for the ancient world.
1000 CE: a century almost in the middle of Dark Ages.
Yes, it certainly is... Of course, changes in the world can occasionally reset the calendar - I wonder what the next #1000 will bring us!
Thank you for your entry!
1000 is the number of kilometers I drove this week!
That's quite a bit of driving. Of course, that would be a typical drive here in Wyoming! (Okay, not quite, but it sure feels like it!)
Thank you for your entry!
