I bought 58 Steem Power yesterday. Just smoked it though. I bought another 100 SP today. Okay, so I skin popped it. Rationalized that the current crypto bloodbath made it *a good idea*. I'd never mainline. Not me.

The first 0.5 is free. Just like the most successful dealers of crack and meth, Steemit knows that the best way to sink the hook in is to make the first hit free. They'll come back for more.

<a href="https://steemit.com/milestone/@preparedwombat/1-000-steem-power">Just three days ago, I said</a>
>About half of the SP that I have is what I've earned here over the last 3+ months, about half has been purchased with Bitcoin. Going forward, I'm hoping to do more earning and less buying. A boy can dream.

Yet here I am, less than 72 hours later, buying more.

Maybe Hard Fork 20 needs an integrated 12-Step Program.
