are you asking about what the term "whale" means?

there is no joke.. it was brought to my attention the amount of influence and power I now hold on this site... I felt my opinion or advice for others who are trying to grow in the community would be helpful and welcomed. So I posted this.

OK, I looked at your account and became very confused. That's not a whale account, unless you have another...I think your friends might have been pulling your leg, or you have a different definition of whale.

You can check your ranking on the site at steemwhales.com. I think there are 40 whales with over 1 billion vests, the next rung down is 100+ million of which there are about 160, they might also be considered whales... the next rung is 10+ million which I believe is considered dolphin, so at 8 million vests you'd be on your way to dolphin. You can see that info at steemd.com/distribution

I'm not claiming to be one nor am I trying.. I was responding to everyone who kept insisting I was. I don't see why you would come and make me feel any less when I see your profile and your doing pretty good for yourself as well. I decided to share some advice and didn't make any promises to anybody. I'm not some false messiah either... maybe I took your comment the wrong way but jeez.. whats up with your need to call me out like that?

Maybe you took my comment the wrong way, as it was intended just to clarify how the distributions on Steemit relate to the 'whale'/'dolphin' stuff.

It wasn't meant to be about 'calling out' or trying to make you feel less, simply pointing you to the information, and you can draw your own conclusions based on the data not what 'everyone says'.

Not really that important, anyway.
