Two days ago, on February 2nd, 2023, it was half a year since we opened this account and started building our project. Time flys! *(At least, from our perspective!)* 

Today, on February 4th, it's exactly half a year since our first power-up. Our initial investment in curation power was **711 HIVE.** In those past six months, with the big help of our token buyers/holders, we managed to quadruple that initial power-up investment, so **today, our active curation power is** slightly above **2,862 HIVE.**

<br>

At that same time, past half a year, while trying to keep our voting power at or above 80%, we still have curated numerous articles on various topics and from different publishers. All in all, *(till the moment we are typing this)* **we gave 1975 upvotes.** 

By now, we also left **1238 comments,** mainly tipping the authors of upvoted articles with different tipping tokens we had at our disposal. 

As our efforts are primarily directed toward curation, we have posted **only 10 posts** *(not counting in this one),* mainly as information about shared rewards and some other project-related happenings or activities. 

Therefore, if quadrupling our curation power, we may call it a success; it happened primarily because of **you - our token holders,** and combined with our curation efforts and some additional our own investments, brought us all together to the current point.
