Pulling in serious STEEM now, thanks to my documentaries for 3Speak, the anti-censorship video platform!

Welcome to the 71^st weekly installment of my series on Steem income and growth!

Income on the Steem blockchain is generated by "investment" (the more currency you have, the more you earn) and by "work" (earning currency by contributing content that adds value). All my crypto holdings are in the Steem currency. Now I'm working to earn more, by uploading unique valuable content to the blockchain.

Calculating weekly income

Considering income from accounts that I own, that my wife owns, and group projects using our funds (currently @drutter, @medikatie, @greatesteem, @hempy, @girlsofgreen, @sativazeee, & @vantocan), here's the running tally:

Average weekly growth (last 10 weeks): +43.3 Steem (+2.40%)

It was our second best week ever, thanks to our return to more active content-creation, and my exclusive video uploads on 3Speak. If you haven't checked out 3Speak yet, please do - soon they'll open upload capability to all members.

Over 2000 Steem now, and gaining rapidly. We've already hit our summer target, but plan to continue delivering top-notch content to the Steem blockchain. Our 10 week running average is the highest yet, at 2.4% weekly growth!

If my team's funds were in a single account, it would be the 4700^th richest. We broke into the top 5000 last week, and moved up another 200 positions this week. I have another big 3Speak video paying out this week - click here if you haven't seen it yet!

A new team paradigm has been achieved:

But..

STEEM looks ready to test the 0.22 USD level again, and if that breaks, we'll fall to lows only seen once - late 2016/early 2017. I hear that insiders are continuing to sell off their large stake, putting constant downward pressure on the market. I may have clawed my way up to 2000 STEEM, but that doesn't mean it's worth anything at the moment.
