Last week I made a post to give props to the Superheroes of Steem. These are the people who believe in this relatively new network and its first proof-of-concept, Steemit, so much that they're willing to commit a lot of their own money to power up and become a bigger part of this beautiful community.
I scoured the blockchain for more this morning, and to my surprise found so many that I have a hard time getting to them all! I've managed to look at 10 accounts for today's Superheroes post. I know there's more, so if you know someone or are someone who's powered up, leave a comment!
For those curious about why you might want to power up, or what it even means, see the above link where I wrote a couple paragraphs answering those questions :)
The Superheroes
@w4lterwyte
Lego, mountain biking, and music enthusiast w4lterwyte has taken the plunge and powered up his account by over 1,400 STEEM since he made his account just one week ago! He has pledged admirable goals for his contributions on Steemit too, so check him out :)
@chhaylin
This awesome poster has personally powered up 3,600 STEEM and has also rocketed past 5,000 Steem Power thanks to their awesome original posts. Check out their blog!
@bobbylee
Is this the Bobby Lee? Who knows, but he's got deep pockets and seems to believe in Steem like Bobby Lee believes in Litecoin err.. Bitcoin (I got the Lee brothers mixed up). Over 10,000 STEEM Powered Up! Awesome!
@leon-fu
They made their account 43 days ago but Steem really caught their attention attention when it rocketed to #3 on Coinmarketcap.com. leon-fu has since powered up to over 3,000 Steem Power this week!
@baronofbitcoin
This account immediately powered up about 6,700 STEEM and then immediately made their introduction post. Wow, no time wasted for this motivated person! Awesome to have you here.
@archai
archai created their account less than a week ago and has already powered up to over 1000 Steem Power! They definitely believe in Steem.
@norbu
This Himalayan is an excellent writer and has been powering up their account consistently with over 1,600 STEEM since joining two weeks ago. Check out their posts!
@steemydino
Wow, in less than a week this Steemit user has powered up to over 10,000 Steem Power!! Thank you for believing in the power of Steem, steemydino.
@stephencurry
Yet another account less than a week old, stephencurry has powered up about 4,000 STEEM and has earned a bit more with their very prolific voting! Stephencurry if you read this, read up on vote power and view yours on https://steemd.com/@stephencurry. Your voting is great but by being so generous you're spreading yourself thin!
@gabbans
Holy smokes, about 7,000 Steem Powered Up in a week!. And he's just found the courage to start posting. I love this guy.
@ilovesteemit
This account was created just one week ago and has since powered up to over 21,000 SP!! Wow am I reading that right? Did I add an extra zero? Nope they really did! And they've been commenting and voting on good posts since joining, enjoying it along the way. This person is beyond a model Steemian!
For all of these accounts I looked at their account on steemd.com and their Steemit post pages to see what they're about. There are more Superheroes out there than I thought! Too many to go through without spending an entire day, so if I didn't find you I'm sorry. Leave a comment if you've powered up, small or large.
You can be a Superhero in other ways, make great posts and gain a following and you can be a Steemit Superhero!
