RE: My First 1,000 In STEEM POWER!

in #blog8 years ago

Congrats

Yeah you are a "minnow" when you sign up for Steemit. You become a "dolphin" when you acquire 5,000 SP Power or more.

To be a "whale" you need like 50,000 SP I believe. Could be more, IDK it'll be a long long time before I am a whale.

Sort:  

What's really the benefit of being a whale anyway? People trying to get your attention all day to upvote their shit? lol, I don't know, being a dolphin or an orca seem like good places to sit.

The benefit is that, for someone like myself who posts very controversial topics, I can use the SP power to ensure my posts are not flagged out of existence and more importantly, and if I was a whale I could push posts that I feel are important to the top of the trending feeds so more people see the information.

Good points. I wonder how truly whale-driven steemit really is. hmm...
