Your click bait worked! That is really cool to get the found money and really smart to use it to help build your account. You just took months off of your growth curve and you will now see even faster growth then you had been having before.
Wish more people would see the potential of doing this. Even a newbie that has 0.10 sp to start with if they could just add 20sp they would save themselves weeks if not months as the first 100sp are the hardest. If they could then add 10sp a week they would be speeding up their growth at a huge rate compared to trying to just earn it all. With current prices it's the perfect time to add some power to your account and then reap the benefits once steem is back to $3-4.
Ha ha, glad it worked on someone! I've been avoiding using my own money on Steemit, just because I'm not relying on the income and I'm not a blogger/writer as a profession. However, I have dripped in some from various crypto (like Cindicator prizes). This time, seeing as the money was unexpected, I figured it wouldn't be missed!
