In life, there are no equals but each of us have the capacity to stand out uniquely in any choice area. When I joined Steem about 20 months ago, I know the joys I had each time a user with 100k + stakeof Steem curates my blog.
Many times, I did use to imagine how they were able to secure such massive value of Steem. At some points I understood that these were users that believed that Steem will someday grow, as such, they braved to buy thousands of Steem and staked same for the future.
Certainly, today, steem has grown and whoever invested in Steem way back early 2017 must have recovered all his investments.
There is this one worry I had at some point whether I will ever hold a 100k Steem power and how long would such take. It seemed like a great fortune or somewhat impossible in the present.
However, the story changed when the Steem-engine tribes came onboard. Thanks to @Aggroed and his team for maing this real. I got interested particularly with four out of the numerous tribes - @marlians @Steem.leo @palnet and @sportstalksocial.
At this point, it occurred to me that I could become a whale in any of the four tribes if I started investing especially when the prices are several decimals below $1. It was a step of faith and I actually took that step. Today, I am glad to hold a Stake of thousands of stakes of #marlians and #sports.
More interestingly is that I am already an Orca in SPORTS and soon will hit the whaleship bar with about 400k SPORTS already staked
Today , I deposited as much as 75+ Steem in my STeem-engine wallet and purchased some MARLIANS, LEO, and SPORTS.
Let's keep believing that SPORTS, MARLIANS, LEO and PAL will someday reach $1. I hope those who are risking the investment and holding great stakes will be glad they did.
Below are some screenshots of the transactions.
In the coming weeks (certainly before the launch of SMTs), I see myself becoming an influential curator on the #Marlians and #Sportstalk tags on Steem. It gives me so much joy when I am able to contribute value to people. I have been so challenged since I join steem seeing people investing so much to encourage others to engage their blogging skills.
My next target will be to becoming a #LEO whale. Thanks to @khaleelkazi and the entire @Steem.leo team for the awesome investment mindset they brought to the Steem-engine.
You may need to know some other awesome Communities I identify with on Steem
@Steemchurch has been a home here with a special trait of sharing love and freedom. This is a vision of @Sirknight who has sacrificed so much to ensure that 100+ users enjoy love curation (at Zero cost) from @Sniffnscurry. The community in the present is administered by a woman with a brave heart @Darlenys01 and we've had several blessings and prosperity being a part of our community. Joining #Steemchurch is FREE.
I'm have an order for 500 Steem Leo and in the process of powering down 500 Steem Leo on my main account to transfer it to here.
It's awesome getting a jump start in these communities and I completely agree that it's nice to be able to get in early and on the ground floor in these communities and help shape them.
Congrats in hitting whale status in sports talk and best of luck getting there on this platform as well. Any idea how much LEO it takes to hit "whale" status on here?
Thank you for those kind words.
Surely.
At current rate, you need about 65,500 Steem to become a LEO whale.
Yeah I have a ways to go then haha.
At current price of LEO at 0.15 Steem, 888.957 Steem is required to be a LEO whale.
