Yesterday I added my 25 SP delegation to the @steem-ua project. I like the idea of it, and am interested to see the size of my weekly up-vote. My UA at the moment is 1.708 and ranking is 30,797. A long way to go, but I haven't been here as long as most, so we shall see. First target is to get over 2.000 and under 20,000 ranking. The @steem-ua team are certainly moving fast, and it seems that the steem community is quickly mobilising behind them. The progress since going live only 10 days ago is a sign of what can be achieved quickly on steem and the power of the community here. Click here for the most recent post from their team

STEEM, and most other Crypto's have gone back on sale. Prices have turned again and the steady (by crypto standards anyway) gains made over the last week or two have been mostly erased. That's OK, it is just giving another entry point if you have the money to buy, average down your stake or increase if you can. The key to crypto's is becoming clearer all the time, the successful projects will be those that have a real use case, the projects that are a solution to a problem, or that are better than the status-quo will thrive.

The way I see it, STEEM has one of the best use cases in the market. There are already many users, consumers and producers of all sorts of content. The developers have a sturdy platform and many ways to monetise their efforts, The variety of projects is growing day by day it seems, and improvements to come make this the place to be. Already, much better front ends are in place, and so much work is being done on so many different platforms. The future seems very bright. Its up to us, as early adopters in this project, to work together to bring it to the rest of the world.

• Edit - Ok red is now an understatement - we are plunging significantly. Many coins 20% down. Very, very red. STEEM at $0.76 - wow.

A quick reminder, My raffle to raise money for @teamaustralia's hayrunners fundraiser is currently underway. Click this link for the raffle post. The liquid payout from that post will be added to the funds raised (currently standing at 6 STEEM).

I would like to note an up-vote on that post that came in from @sndbox. Many thanks for supporting the cause

It is not too late, tickets are still on sale for just 0.20 STEEM each, buy as many as you like. If you can't buy a ticket, a vote or even re-steem of that post will help the cause.

Just want to also mention another raffle being run by @cryptoeater to raise funds for @crypto.charity. Click this link to support another worthy cause.

Something else to for me to look forward to is 4 weeks holidays!!!! Can't wait, my time off from the real world job starts on September 22. I am planning to work on some more in-depth posts here on various topics, as well as a few short trips and real world adventures. Not doing anything big during the holidays, just a bunch of day trips, getting out and about and enjoying a month off.
