We all have big dreams...
When I first joined the blockchain, one of my 'big dreams' was to become a whale on Hive. Just think about it...The glory! The prestige! The curation rewards....lol
But as time went on, I realized that unless I had an extra 500k sitting around in crypto or fiat, my dream of becoming a whale here might take a little bit more time than I thought.
So much for that huh? My hopes and dreams, crashed and burned because...I just didn't have the resources. I had the hustle and I had the entrepreneurial spirit, but the fiat was lacking...
If you have heard any of the Crypto Maniacs podcasts with @taskmaster4450 and yours truly, you'll know we talk about...The tribes on Hive, a lot!
There are a lot to choose from...
Are you into finance and crypto? Check out LEO!
How about #Splinterlands? SPT is right up your alley!
Into entrepreneurship? Heck, I know a tribe that might help ya in CTP!
What about NFTs? Not to worry ONEUP has you covered.
Science, tech and all that super smart stuff? STEM Geeks for the win!
I can go on and on, but you get the idea...No matter what your passion is here on the blockchain, there is a tribe and community TOKEN to support it.
Which brings me to the point of this post....
Maybe, I'm not destined to become a whale on Hive anytime soon!
Perhaps, I'm supposed to have the 41st most staked LEO on chain....
Look at that!
Maybe becoming a top witness on Hive isn't in the cards for @blainjones and I and out little @clicktrackprofit witness server...
Wow, crazy...We're top 10 on the Hive Engine witness list!
And no this post is not meant to be bragging at all, heaven's knows I don't have a thing to brag about. But what I'm hoping to show people is that...
The potential to become a major influencer in a TRIBE on Hive isn't out of reach. A little bit of elbow grease, some patience and investment in yourself can pay BIG!
Heck a few thousand bucks would make you one of the top token holders on CTP right now...Whale status!
I'm currently like 25th on the staked richlist on SPT and I just got started stacking the token a few months ago...
The opportunity is in the tribes!!!
Sure, we love layer 1. Like Hive is on another level of awesomeness...But some of the bigger opportunities for building some serious influence on this blockchain...
Are found on layer 2 in the tribes and passionate communities!

I don't want to brag, but...
I've even got a badge that says I'm a HBIT whale:
...you don't need to look at how much my HBIT holdings are worth ;)
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
lol nice nice!!!
Now I want to know ALL about HBIT.
Take a few months off the blockchain, and you find exponential growth!
CTP you say?
I kid I kid
Love you guys. Slowly building back up.
Nailed it. Listen to this man. I have and look at me. Jon am I a whale on ListNerds yet?

I'm sure everyone that jumped onboard int he early days of the relaunch are :)
@jongolson! You Are Alive so I just staked 0.1 $ALIVE to your account on behalf of @bradleyarrow. (18/30)
The tip has been paid for by the We Are Alive Tribe through the earnings on @alive.chat, feel free to swing by our daily chat any time you want.

Because this is such an awesome post, here is a BBH Tip for you.
. Keep up the fantastic work
It takes time and commitment to become a whale for sure, if you don't have the resources to buy your way up.
I have few layer 2 token which spt & Leo is one of them and I hope to keep adding up, I don't want to be everywhere too, which can be draining sometimes.
Posted using LeoFinance Mobile
That's the trouble with being too spread out!
I love this post and the ideas behind it.
I make a lot of ctp a day right now without even posting. I went big on the miners and delegate to the ctp one up curation trail.
I’m starting down the leo trail now. I hope it grows.
Yeah man, that's the trick right...Not everyone is looking at the tribes all the time, so the opportunity is where most aren't looking!
!CTP
It's true! I wanted to become a CTP whale but look how the price is going up. Well at least I have a few Listnerds.
Now seriously. You have to choose the right tribe, be persistent and the results will come without a doubt.
Oh it'll go down, people are always trying to sell and buy so the markets always fluctuate
This is soo true.. After calculating I decided it'll be easier to grow my Leo power than Hive power. I have now completely switchly to Leo purchase and staking only and already satisfied .. Will add more.. Layer 2 tokens is where its at.
Agreed. LEO is a no brainer on the blockchain!
Awesome, I will love to be part of the whale movement, I have been in leofinance for a while it seems like it is not working, I don't know why why but I know i have potentials there just time. @jongolson maybe you need to teach me some things i need to know so I can be part of the list richlist, great content my friend.
Show up daily, add value...And when things get boring, you keep doing them lol
I'll and also would have loved to ask some questions and guidance. I don't know if that would be possible.
At first I had lot of tokens. Then one time I checked the hive-engine, my balance was $9,000. Earlier it was just $100, a user can input a sell limit for 90x the order. So I thought token just mooned. Of course after when looking at the balance it's back to normal. But just at that moment, I really thought it was genuine !
Oh it'll continue to rise and fall. Especially with such low volume on things like Hive Engine. Slowly but surely, we'll build it up!
lol I think it would be difficult to find someone who does not have a wish to be a whale. HIVE jumping the way towards glory in terms of price it would be quite damn difficult indeed. But either way on layer 2 I might have gotten the taste of it lol. Now I want mooreeeee...
lol you and me both. Just wanna keep stacking all the tokens I am really excited about!
Nice title ;-). I think nobody on the chain would be against a tutorial to reach that lol.
Jokes aside it's true that it's much easier to get influence with tribe tokens and thanks to these tribe tokens it can become possible to get more influence on Hive itself. The problem I see with most of these tribe tokens is that the tokenomics model isn't very sustainable but I believe it's getting better.
Yeah a lot of us had no idea what we were doing when this stuff got started....Specifically me lolol
We all dream of becoming whales eh? But there is some joy in small steps. When I joined Steemit 5 years ago, I was jealous that some people got over a dollar in upvotes. A dollar! Can you imagine? I passed that milestone myself long ago. Many others along the way. We can take some joy from those.
And you're right, gaining influence in certain tribes is a lot easier. Though we do have to be careful because many tribes don't make it. For example, VYB isn't looking too hot right now.
Anyway, great post and a nice perspective.

You must be killin' it out here!
@dbooster just slapped you with 1.000 PIMP, @jongolson.
You earned 1.000 PIMP for the strong hand.
They're getting a workout and slapped 1/2 possible people today.
Read about some PIMP Shit or Look for the PIMP District
oh no doubt, my first year on chain i was lucky if i got a dollar a post lol but you just need to keep showing up and contributing, things always work out.
Indeed, the uniqueness of Hive blockchain is unparalleled in the cryptoverse. There is nothing as sweet as being a whale in your small tribe and still exerting as much influence and profiting as other Hive Whales may be.
Communities hold the future of wealth on Hive.
Thanks for all you do in the CTP community. You inspire ma ny including myself.
Congratulations on your whale status on LEO and ors.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Literally nothing like it. I'm amazed at how it's still vastly ignored.
I see your long term goals is spot on. And who knows those layer two tokens could be the doors to finally becoming a Whale with Hive stakes someday too..... I am positive about this part if you understand.
Congratulations on this feat sir. Keep the fire burning.
Absolutely. So much potential in these layer 2 tribes and tokens...Best time to get involved!
I am so glad you agreed. Let's all get our hands in the game then. Cheers.
Which means you'll be earning some sweet SPS token by the way, compounding, hustling, showing up, building goals is how we tend to grow here. Eventually you might become a way, who knows, maybe in two years time.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh no doubt...My long term 'bet' is on SPT lol I sure hope they develop it more lol
For me I need to write a lot of content and get upvotes so that I could ever become whale. With the curation and commenting alone, at the most I can get close to dolphin lol. But yes it's good to have a goal like this who knows things may change with the content and reaching whale status wont be that hard.
That's why I shared that I did invest into this stuff. The content and curation can help you grow for sure, but once you start building it with your own funds into things...It really takes off. Hive is expensive, something like SPT or CTP is not :)
This post is encouraging in pushing and moving forward with the aim of having the believe to achieve goals fur the Future in the blockchain which I appreciate a lot. Keep up the good work @jongolson
Thanks for the comment, appreciate it!
You mentioned community that can help me locate where to post
I usually hear about Whales on hive, I don't actually know what it mean
Please can you explain?
Basically, anyone with over 550,000 staked Hive would be considered a whale.
That means am not close to fish sef...lol
With time i will get there
Thank you for the explanation
This post is really for me. Thanks for the encouragement. We keep getting better 💯
Glad to hear it :)
Thanks
It's much easier to get a whale status on a Hive Engine token and I kind of agree that Hive is hard to get whale status. I haven't really bothered with investing my earnings to increase my stake but I do grow them as I collect the tokens. It will add up everyday and I hope to be a whale eventually.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Oh no doubt, it might take us all a bit of time but we will get there!
Being a whale is easy but what if the creator of token dump on us?
!1UP
I think that's a risk for any new project. But most of the token creators on the blockchain, do have a track record. Check out who is running things, and get behind the ones with proven leadership.
First of all, your caption really caught my attention. I guess I have learnt from you that good caption draws your audience to your post.
Secondly you went straight to the point and you wrote with a lot of humour imbedded in your post. I just learnt that too.
Thirdly and the most importantly is that hard work, consistency and patience does it all. Setting a goal for yourself and working towards getting that achieved the foundation to success on the blockchain. Becoming a whale is achievable. Just trust the process.
I really enjoyed reading this post.
Thanks for sharing.
Glad you enjoyed it :)
Yeah the main point is that sometimes we focus on things that may be out of our reach at the present moment...So we need to find the places that really can be a place of growth for us on our journey.
I would give away the prestige of being a whale for extra curation rewards anytime. Besides plebs can't have prestige and I'll always be a pleb at heart :P
ha ha ha you and me both. plebs for life!!
Using it for the 3rd time.
!CTP
Bragging is just fine for Red Fish like me. For Dolphins, they should be singing; Orcas should be playing; Whales are just silent and watching.

lol Nice, glad you are using the tipping bot :)
Might i ask how much do you earn being a top witness ? How much did you invest in SPT to become a whale?
Posted using Splintertalk
No idea off hand, but they make a decent about, the top 20 on Hive do. As for SPT, I have dollar coast averaged into it, buying around 1000 SPT a day at around 2 Hive.
Hahaha, the journey requires a lot more than 30 days or less except lots fiat is available.
You've done a lot to get you where you at.
You've got a lot, you've got you, two fingers in the air.

Slow and steady wins the race :)
It really encouraged. Setting up a goal and aiming to achieve it is a good way forward in future. Keep the good work 👍
Setting up goals...In the right places! :)
Perhaps the long focus on becoming a whale on hive can be reduced and focus on the opportunity in other tribes
That's the plan for sure :)
Thanks for the insights, just logged into LeoFinance for the first time today, looks like I might be logging in more often.

Great post and great reminder.
Another thing to remember is that the work keeps stacking.
As time goes on, it gets easier and faster to grow.
I still remember when my goal back in 2018 was to have 60 STEEMPOWER.
That was such a cute goal.
