Let's Grow Together
Don’t forget we are all trying to grow so please do consider supporting the person above you and the person below you in the league by visiting their blog posts or even voting on their comments in this post.
The Minnow Power-up League
Every Thursday we will be using SteemSQL database managed by @arcange to gather details on the Owned SP for each person that has entered the league. The current weekly owned SP will be compared to the SP held last week. The person with the highest SP growth for the current week will be on top of the leader board.
There are 4 levels depending on your SP levels. Once you graduate from one, you will be automatically placed on the next. When you graduate from the 4th you will be placed on the Minnow Wall of Fame. As this post could get rather long with the 4 levels, as we grow, we may consider splitting this into different posts on different days.
Level 1
Congratulations to @happyme being first in the league this week with a massive power up of 2539 SP. its your first week on the league and you have already graduated to level 3. Amazing!
In second is @dalz and third is @shepz1. Nice work. @dalz welcome to the league.
Also in the top ten is @erikklok, @kaerpediem, @scrawly, @cryptoandcoffee, @chekohler, @xabi, @serialfiller. Well done on the Power-ups.
Graduating this week is @happyme, you move to level 3. Also graduating from level 1 with SP of 1629.925 is @scrawly. Nice work both of you.
On the home stretch in level 1 are @jlordc and @serialfiller, you are so close to graduating from level 1, Steem on!
Level 2
There are now 16 participants on level 2, and this weeks winner is @clumsysilverdad with an SP growth of 2269.258 this week. You also just graduated from level 2 to level 4. Amazing.
Congratulations also to @trincowski, managing second place this week, awesome work.
Both @clumsysilverdad and @trincowski graduated. @trincowski we will see you on level 3 next week and @clumsysilverdad level 4.
Level 3

you are most welcome, yepppeeeee keep powering up
Hey, @steemcommunity.
So, the wall of fame, eh? Nice. And look, there's @delishtreats, too! Cool. I don't have to be lonely for a week or two until others get here. :)
And congratulations to all this week's winners—@happyme, @clumsysilverdad, @mcoinz79, and @mountainjewel, @dalz, @shepz1, @erikklok, @trincowski, @riverflows, @veryspider, @bearbear613, @gillianpearce, @niallon11, @cranium, and @mindtrap. Keep going, and if you can invest anything at all, you might consider it (not advice—you decide) at whatever price point you feel most comfortable with.
Onward and upward!
Thanks you two (@abh12345 and @paulag) for having this league and for encourage the minnows to grow on the platform. It is very much needed, especially during the bear market and $0.40 USD STEEM. I know for the veterans, this is old hat, but some of us got there right as the booster rocket ride hit, and so that's where our expectations and STEEM barometers, for good or ill, were set.
I believe, though, that most of us have realized, thanks to you all and others, that those high STEEM prices aren't what they've been for most of STEEM's existence, so that's okay. STEEM price is relative. We just need another wave, that's all.
I mean, it's rather disappointing to buy some STEEM just to see my voting amounts dwindle. :) All in good time. Not anywhere near losing hope here. Just complaining a little. A smidgeon. This much. 🙏 :)
Cheers Glen :)
Yeah re:price, STEEM has been lower than a dollar for probably 75% of it's life - this year has been different, and pretty tough for those joining near the top of the wave. I'm hopeful there will be more waves to surf, and it's good to see folks buying.
10k soon then? :D
The price of STEEM drops to about ten cents USD, and I'm there. :)
Then it can shoot up beyond $10, since we're totally wishing this all into existence. Might as well go for it. $100. Okay, $1,000. :)
I'm waiting for that 10 cents too ;) Congratulations Glen on becoming a dolphin too! ;)
me three, Im thinking 17cent in my buy mark
you are welcome
Congrats on becoming a dolphin. I know that STEEM prices are hitting the floor again but we can all see the opportunity that is there now. 20c is my line to pull the trigger and become a dolphin as well. At the rate the market is going that should only be a few days away. It does look bad from an outside view but we can see ourselves how many people are taking the chance to grow their account so internally the belief is still there in what is being accomplished here.
I wish I knew what the belief about this was anywhere, in or out, @naillon11. It just feels like those with the money are clearing the way for others with even more money to get in at the lowest prices possible. Which could mean they're clearing thousands of little people out, too, but I'm hoping there's more of us with small holdings hanging around.
From the looks of things (yeah, I went and peeked at your wallet), you went ahead and got some STEEM. :) If that amount gets powered up, you're going to be so close you can taste it.
Thank you for the kind words. I wasn't anticipating being here so fast, but that's kind of the way things worked out. I was thinking I would be earning more and investing less. Go figure. :)
I wouldn't be surprised if this was partly the case. Some of the alts have such a small market cap that it wouldn't take much to adjust the price. It's up to the people not to sell at these prices and believe that the markets will come back. I'm just waiting for the time when the big money lands in soon and cleans up on all of the coins. There is a fortune to be made next year for some people.
I did manage to pick up a few extra STEEM this week at different prices but i'm just that little bit short of my target. Don't worry it's all getting powered up but i think I still need to earn 85 before i hit that all important dolphin mark. I'll see you there very soon.
re: don't worry
Hey, not at all. I'm not one who gets all fired up about what people do or don't do with their STEEM. I just was trying to avoid jumping to conclusions, because we've all got needs of some kind. It just made sense that if you were going to bring it in, that's what you were doing with it.
re: 85
Could be. I know it's somewhat short of 5,000, something like 4,960, I think. At any rate, still much closer than you would be without it. That's more or less where I was—500 or so short with what I had wondering if it was going to take three to six months to earn the remainder.
Then the priced dropped. :)
Just a turn of phrase that we use over here. Pretty much anything an Irish man says should not be taken literally. It's the safest bet.
The numbers are changing on here and I'm all in for it. Just waiting to be part of the new wave of dolphins that have formed since the price dropped. I think a lot of people have taken the opportunity to bridge that gap that we were all aiming for and it's great to see.

loads of powering up happening and more dolphins on the way
Great to see it. There should be plenty new ones by the time this bear market is over. The price is far too tempting.
congrats glen! welcome to dolphin hood (again :))
Well, thank you (again :). Didn't want to leave you out on the shout out, so sorry about that one. Just trying to acknowledge all the winners. :)
Thank you so much for the support !!!
I asked to join in at edition 8 of the minnow power up league, but I can't find myself anywhere inside of this or last weeks post.
Can you guys add me to the minnow power up league this week @steemcommunity? 😅
Yes we can, sorry! :D
No worries @abh12345, I am looking forward to taking part in the fun! 😊
my fault, you will be listed tomorrow, really sorry!
IF I'm not in the completely wrong place and I'm not too late, please count me in for the next round! 600 of my delegated SP came to me from me. lol
My best week yet and only 7th. Obviously purchasing Steem is the way to go if you have the funds lol. Will keep at it I suppose but nice to see everyone climbing rapidly.
rock on, happy turkey fest (-:
There are buyers, a good sign hopefully!
I think that this week is the exception. I was looking back at the past results and the total power ups were all about 3k rather than 16k. even though next week should be the same since the price keeps falling.
7th is amazing, OMG you should be really happy. Wish I could purchase more
Ah at least I made it into the top 8 this week, some major gains with these low prices I see :) if we stay at 40 cents for a bit or lower the next couple of weeks are going to get interesting I think a lot of minnows could be joining us soon
Huge gains this week, 15000 SP added by all the members combined - nice!
When you lay it out like that it’s even more epic 3 dolphins worth in a week! Clearly swimming with right crowd here

I think you might be right, the minnows league is hotting up
OK.... this is a nice surprise :)
First week and second place in the level one.
Congrats to all.
Nicely done @dalz, flying up the ranks :D
Well STEEM is on sale ... so I added just a bit :)
yepepepeppepe you rock, amazing powerups. people are growing fast
thanks for the Steem @steemcommunity. How weird to think that a monsters card pack is worth more. That takes a bit of getting your head around. 😂
Well done @delishtreats and @glenabrethsen on becoming dolphins. 🏆
Hey, @gillianpearce. Thank you for the shoutout. I decided to invest some more. :)
Got a nice welcome from some bigger dolphins, too, so that's cool and something worth looking forward to for you and anyone else who passes 5,000-ish SP.
It will be interesting to see if I might it to 5000 SP or not @glenalbrethsen. I just buying a little bit every couple of days so if it starts rising again before I get there I probably won't make it.
Time will tell. 😁
Well, it's been down for quite a while now, so who knows really how long you have. You might buy all you wanted to well before it decides to jump. Glad to hear you're buying, though. You've been quiet of late. How are you? :)
I'm good @glenalbrethsen. Thanks. Just reassessing how I spend my time.
I've been meaning to write a post about what's going on with me but haven't felt like doing so. I might do one tomorrow . . .
$2 a pack, about 5 STEEM at present! :O
Thank you Gillian! :)
I've been buying STEEM like crazy. Eehehehhe!
Not today, though... since each STEEM is valued around 122.5 Million Dollars. 😂😂😂
Thanks for the prize! 3 STEEM is roughly 367.5 Million Dollars. You're so generous!
But... Are you sure Steem Monster Cards are worth more?
hmmm. Well if you use those figures, I guess not! :D
Starting to feel a little always the bridesmaid never the bride, nah only joking, all good fun, well done to all concerned. :-) Cheers asher.
A bit of seconditus for you?
Consistency will hopefully pay in the end :)
Can I say "stop" I no longer want to be in, I am not feeling the whole vibe on this site, it is not what I thought I was buying into, or getting into. You people can keep it.
yes you can stay stop. I'm sorry if we have disappointed you. Not sure what you though you were buying into with this league.
It is not the league, it is watching people with more sp threatening people all the time, not mentioning names, and nothing to do with this league at all, watching all the bickering all the time has made me want to post less, so there is little point in me being in this league.
And there are a lot more things I could add about steemit as a whole, but hey, who am I to complain anyway, everyone only wants to hear the good news, not the honest truth.
thanks so much! you fed my steem monsters addiction a little more this morning ;) thanks for the pack! happy to see 2 graduates of the league!!!! XO
Feeed mee carrrrds!
I've not bought any in a little while, and it looks like no freebies this time :( Still, my water babies are doing pretty wel; :D
water babes for liiiiife! where my girls at with the fire balllz?!
These leagues are awesome, I actually feel as if I'm getting somewhere... LOL. Thanks Ash for putting them together. Damn, if only my account value was what it appeared to be last night - some two hundred million dollars. I wouldn't be powering it up that's for sure - I'd be powering down and part-aying .. x Thanks sooo much for the 2 steem, what a gorgeous suprise! xx
Good to hear that it feels you are getting somewhere, you are, we are just showing you :D
Have the wallets deflated again now? That is a pity!
Nope... still looking really good. Hubby was annoyed with me as I left my electric toothbrush on our (hubby-made) wooden kitchen table and the bloody plastic stained it. I was like, dude, don't stress, we'll just buy a new house.
Glad to be on the list even though I am small Haha

small but getting bigger :-)
I graduated the Lvl 4, holy shit, bust mes out some champagnaaaa !!!!!
congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations, congratulations
Awesome, thanks for the prize/donation @steemcommunity!
Also congratulations to all other winners. It was a tough week, but great to see so many of you powering up big time!
Yep it is good to see. Those with a little cash spare can get to dolphin-hood much quicker right now. Let's hope for a better 2019!
does just buying in and powering up count? Beein doing that the whole year and probably will continue ;-)
Yes that certainly counts. Do you want to be added? :)
sure. Buy orders are in :D
fab I have added your name and you will be included tomorrow
which makes now a good time to power up...
Thank-you so very much.
I never expected to begin playing another game (I spend too much time at it already), but since winning a pack of cards, I guess I'm now IN. Let's see where this game takes me...
Careful, it's rather addicted!
You could get a gold card (or any card) and sell it for STEEM :)
I opened my pack and found a rare summoner. Not sure how good that is, but it looks promising. I really do need to actually TRY playing the game now. I kind of skimmed over the game-play instructions and it looks fairly complicated. I think experience will be the best teacher.
What a pitty! I tried to play the game and after several long waits, I keep getting the message that there are no suitable enemies to practice with. When I tried clicking on the play for leaderboard status, I got a message that I MUST buy a starter pack before I can play. So my cards are kind of useless without that starter pack by the look of it. With the price of Steem so low, I would need to give up more than 20 Steem to start playing. That's more than a month of collecting Steem for me, so it isn't going to happen until the value of Steem goes up enough that I can buy the cards with Steem and not break my bank. It would be nice to get to try the game before putting money into it. If the practice arena would work for me, that would be great. Also, I tried to look at the quest area. The 1st quest needed a water splinter summoner (mine is life), so no go there. I clicked on "start new quest" and was shown another quest that needed earth (I think). Then the "start new quest" link was gone, so no more options to find a quest using the life summoner. If people have to put $40 or more into the game just to be able to play, they may be better off buying a console game for that money (or less if they buy used).
Contact me on discord, I have a code for a starter pack that was in the goodie bag at SteemFest.

I have discord open, but don't know how to find you.
I'm happyme

Oh, really, so it's not about how many cards you own it's "did you buy a starter pack"? That sucks, I thought having won a couple of booster packs I could play, too.
That was my original impression as well, however, you need the starter pack because the booster packs don't give you enough cards to form a decent team in most cases. Teams need to be made up of just 1 splinter type but MAY include cards of no splinter.
The other BIG mistake I made was to click on the link to see more quests. There was a pop-up message saying that I would lose any progress I made, but since I hadn't yet begun, there was nothing to lose... or so I thought! The quest was to use a specified splinter and win 10 battles. I didn't have many cards of that splinter, so I figured I would see what OTHER quests I could do. ONE other quest with another specified splinter was available, but NO MORE LINK, so no more quest options and you CAN'T go BACK to the first option! Lesson learned: DO NOT click that link until you have COMPLETED the quest. It happens automatically when you battle using that splinter, so other than choosing a team of the specified splinter, IGNORE the quest area except to look at the DETAILS link.
Please come to our rescue Steemjet is on fire !!!!!!!! @deandaniel is going crazy and wants to rip @dimimp off so much money he’s finally thrown the sack in !
I asked to join the league I think on episode 8, but I havent found myself in these posts. Am I joined or no?
my error, you name will be included tomorrow
Looks like some have been taking advantage of the low Steem price! Good to see. Even better to see the first new dolphins. Viva the middle class!
via the middle class is right..slowly but surely we will change the distribution
I’d like to join the league! Found out about it via @chekohler thanks!
Ace, I will add your name to the list, you are starting at level 1
Thank you so much for the support of all participants !!!
you are soooooo welcome
Congrats to all the top power-up-ers and graduates! :D
Oh hey Asher! Guess it's time for me to swim over to this league to play with the big fish! Looks like a lively bunch over here!
Thanks so much for doing these leagues. It's really amazing how quickly my account is growing just through intention and tuning into these stats!! Thx man 💗🎶✌🍻
hahah how I love to see my graduates swim over, you name will be on tomorrows post
Woohoo!! Now i better follow @steemcommunity! Thanks so much @paulag ❤
Follow, upvote, resteem, witness vote, and love us very much is all we ask :D
You're hilarious Asher, and so easy to love ❤....thanks for reminding me! I saw a squirrel and forgot to follow 😁
Congratulations to everyone and huge congrats to the newest dolphins @delishtreats and @glenalbrethsen. Well done!
Thank you Melinda :) It feels cool to become a mammal in this Steemit ocean :)
Another good week in the power up league or to be fair a great week. People are obviously taking full advantage of the bear market and 16k is a huge number. With the price falling to 32c now it will be interesting to see if next weeks league is the same. We could see a lot of dolphins very fast.
i wonder will this week be better
I have seen a lot of people still buying and powering up. There were also a handful of new dolphin posts so i wouldn't be surprised. At 30c the value was there to be bought and i for one never though i would see STEEM down that low. It was a great opportunity for anybody committed to the blockchain and willing to take a little risk.
Thank you for the shout out! :) I can't imagine better time to invest for those who have some funds available.
Congratulation everyone! :)
wish I had some funds myself
I m in
