Welcome to the 62nd 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.
Considering income from accounts that I own, that my wife owns, and group projects using our funds (currently

Average weekly growth (last 10 weeks): +16.9 Steem (+1.07%)
A great week, thanks mainly to a Curie upvote. We saw our 10-week-moving-average remain above 1% growth!
I graphed my weekly Steem Power:
Wow, we're still on track to hit 2000 this summer. I drew in blue and green lines, showing the old linear trend has been replaced by a steeper one. A logarithmic chart would probably be useful, going forward, to better show the scale of growth.
If we're able to maintain this pace, as respectable as it is, some details are sobering. At the current price 0.39 USD, our entire holdings aren't even worth 700 USD. That has cost us almost 2 years of full time work, and an initial investment of about 5000 USD. If we "cash out" now, we'll be out 2 years work AND 86% of our savings. So we grind on, providing content for the blockchain and giving up years of our lives, in the hopes that we can salvage something from the current wreckage, at some point in the future.
We are... cautiously optimistic.
