I converted my latest Steem power down into Hive (via @ionomy) and powered up here:

This gets me past 40 million vests, to be a Dolphin II. I don’t use Chrome plug-ins but someone (@slobberchops?) mentioned that there’s a plug-in that displays people’s rankings (minnow, dolphin, etc.) broken into three levels. So for example 10 million vests to become a dolphin with levelings up at 40 and 70 million vests, before passing 100 million vests to become an orca.

So if I continue to convert my Steem power downs to Hive, powering it up, within a few months, I’d probably make it to Dolphin III. Orca would take a while though. Now that I’m retired, spare fiat that could be converted to crypto is hard to find. But perhaps if I allocate all of my curation and delegation earnings to Hive Power, I might make Orca sometime in 2021, something I might never have attained with Steem Power.

@tarazkp has mentioned more than once the benefits of having skin in the game. This is particularly important to those (like me) who are, at best, lackluster bloggers. Going forward, it’s going to get harder and harder to earn via blogging, but curation and delegations could form the basis of a decent income stream at some point down the road.
