I joined Steemit in October 2016 and remained active for almost all of 2017.
Here is what I consider to be the highlights of this year:
- launched steem.supply on May 22nd, now it has an average daily traffic of more than 700 unique daily users and growing. It's becoming the de fact destination for serious Steemians looking to improve their activity. Started as a rewards monitoring tool, it evolved into a more powerful app, with content and social analytics areas that are helping authors to improve their consistency and effectiveness.
- took a Steem break of almost one month in spring, during the "whales experiment". Although this step back was frowned upon by some of the prominent users and backers of the platform, I'm happy I did it. I spoke my mind, stood up for my core values and walked my talk, which is more important for me than the potential rewards I missed during that month or the witness support I lost in this process.
- created 4 "30 days challenges" in which I helped hundreds of authors to create consistent writing habits.
- reached 3600+ followers, thank you!
- after going down to less than 5,000, I recovered back to 9,300 Steem Power, which is the exact amount I had at the beginning of the year. If this trend continues, I will be soon crossing the 10,000 limit, at which I think I may be a dolphin :)
- wrote more than 5500 posts (articles + comments), which equals an average of 15 posts per day!
It was an absolutely amazing year. I joined this project when the total number of active accounts was about 5,000, now I think it's way over 45,000, a fabulous growth rate.
I have a few Steem related projects in the works right now, and hopefully next year they'll be ready to launch. Since some of them are depending on future features of Steem, like the Smart Media Tokens, I refrained from mentioning them publicly, but work has been done consistently in the background.
Which means I am fully committed to this project and confident in its future.
I want to end the year by thanking to all my followers who supported my work, by commenting, encouraging me or voting for my witness node.
May you have a fantabulous 2018!
And Steem on!

Enjoyed many, many of your posts, thanks for that. Have a good party and see (read) you in 2018.
Thank you for all your support, man, really, really appreciate it! See you in 2018 :)
Congrats on 2017 success. Hope it will be even better for 2018.
I personally use steem.supply everyday and its great to gauge how bad or good I am doing on steemit. The days before I receive rewards chart always makes time pass by that much faster in life ;) Can not wait for next payout, oh how long will it be? Oh steem.supply shows me how long. lol. Thanks for creating the tool.
You have had an amazing year! 2018 promises to be even better! Happy New Year!
Your steemit year was amazing, congrats friend @dragosroua!

I think 5000 in dolphin status, but it probably just depends on where you look for this information.
Did you see SBD tried to pump around 5 or 6 cst on Friday but there were too many sellers. I think with the increasing and on the exchanges and being created on steemit the days of 2 - 5x sbd pumps maybe over.
Yes, it feels like bulls strength is diminishing...
Sincere congratulations for your achievements here on Steem. I feel sad because I have joined the platform recently and I was not able to witness all those changes and evolution of yours and of the platform, but I am still happy because I am here now. Keep on going, good luck in the next year and hope you will be able to continue making this a better place. Whish you all the best!
Thank you! Happy new year as well :)
