7,777.777 Is My New Lucky Number (Also The Amount Of Steem Power I Got - So Far)
As I was checking my Steemit wallet this morning (an activity which tends to happen on autopilot, lately), I noticed this very interesting pattern:
Now, for many people, 7 is a lucky number. It's also quite popular in pop culture or foklore: Snow White had seven dwarf friends, the week has seven days and so on.
7777.777 is also the highest number you can write with 7 digits in octal, if you don't take into account the separator (now I'm getting geeky, I know, can't help it). If you convert 7777777 from octal to decimal you get 4095, which is kinda boring, but not if you add 1 to it, and get 4096, which, converted to binary, gives us 0001000000000000. Now that's interesting. I could play with that all day, you know...
Also, according to numerology.com:
The number 7 is the seeker, the thinker, the searcher of Truth (notice the capital "T"). The 7 doesn't take anything at face value -- it is always trying to understand the underlying, hidden truths. The 7 knows that nothing is exactly as it seems and that reality is often hidden behind illusions.
Now, I wonder what's hidden under that wall of sevens in my wallet. I'll let you know when I'll find out.
P.S. I cheated a bit: I only had 7771 when I checked my wallet, so I did a quick power up, just to be able to take that wonderful screenshot.

Nice number, best of luck to you
I want you to always cheat and power up steem... If that is cheating then everybody should learn how to cheat...hahaha!
Haha i knew you cheat :) my finest numbers are 8 and 7 because i was born 8.7. 1987 :) i want to have 8787 steem :)
Congrats on achieving that lucky amount. Even with a little bit of slight cheating, it's hard to get figures like that.
@dragoroua - It has been a while since someone mentioned Octal numbers. (and Hex for that matter). The world is all about decimal system now. What an amazing coincidence (helped by a little power up cheat) that you got that perfect max octal number as your steem power Very interesting, Thanks for sharing. Upvoted

I like cool numbers, but I don't believe they have special meaning. 7 does crop up a lot in culture. I think in China they like 8, but then 4 is bad for them, like 13 for some people. There was no 13th floor in a building I worked in.
Anyway, congratulations on having more S than you did before!
Yes, I know about cultural differences regarding auspicious numbers, especially the popularity of 8 in Asia. I was interested in numerology for a while and did quite a lot of reading (also astrology, which t the date still proves to be a valuable context descriptor). Funny that you didn't have a 13th floor :)
I'm more interested in numbers like Pi and e. They help define the universe. People will believe anything :)
That's a huge amount but one that all minnows should aspire too
7 is definitely your lucky number :)
Everybody was a minnow at some point...
too true :)
777 - many dream for that to happen :))
You know what is even more lucky? 77,777.777 !
I like how you think :)
haaha super awesome perfect timing.
