Hello friends and people who haven't met me yet!
I'm feeling pretty good in the Steemit department today. I have just attained a rep of 56 and pushed over 5,000 sp which, if i am correct, makes me a dolphin --
Wheeeeeeeeeeee!!!
I have continued to power up like a fiend, and i have invested in Steemit by buying up sp to get me to where i am today. It feels pretty good to be able to drop fat votes on good content and on the peeps that support me, and i like the bigger curration rewards too. There are especially great posts coming from:
And from:
Presently i am at about 92% voting strength. I've been clawing my way back up after going apeshit about a week and a half ago -- i really like all the info, stories, pictures and philosophy, so i find it hard not to upvote the good. Also, the Canadian content is getting better and better too -- make sure you tell all your literate friends!
But i'm putting the lid on it until i hit 100% -- and i've already cast a vote for botty today. I'm expecting it to be in about 8-10 hrs. And at this time i should have about a $0.45 - $0.48 hammer!!!
Sooooooo..............it's about fucking time i tried the thrill of hosting a contest i'd say.
This will be just a small bit of fun, but i am already hatching more plans to do something else, which includes delegating some of my SP to "Stax" on the next lease round. Is it you little vixen?

So, here it is: it's a Limerick contest that has to pay homage to or make fun of/with: ssg, silver stackers in general, fiat, gold, silver, platinum, the federal reserve, the Dow, etc, etc, i'm sure you get the picture...
There was a sly banker from New York
Who tried pulling bitcoin off of its cork
He gave it nine tries, now his shareholders despise
That his whistles of dismissal were forked
I will judge them, with support from the comments, and award the best author with 3 consecutive 100% votes. C'mon people, i'm sure you can best that ad hoc piece of junk above :)
Remember, i just got new powers and i'm here to have a good time!
Cheers! from @thedamus
🌴🌴🍔🌴🌴
Only 1 limerick so far? C'mon peeps, gimme your best lark!
There once was a man from Nantucket
Who had such a big stack he said "fuck it!"
He sold off some loot, and bought a bitcoin chute
And told Mr. Dimon to Suck-it!!!
Wow! Thanks @gentlebot!
There's a Pirate Stuntman called Thedamus,
Who nails you with Upvotes like Hammers,
Afloat in a Boat, full of Gold and a Goat,
A Patron to the BlockChain Programmers!
Please comment back so i can hit you twice for that one!!! (I'm sub 70% right now...)
BEST ONE YET IMO!!! Lol
✨⚡️✨👊😎✨⚡️✨
Always remember the double tap to finish them off! I came up with it on the bus earlier :-)
...just hilarious!
I actually thought of a few there was one about bitcoin and bloody ceasers but this was my favourite! It was perfect to pass the time :-)
Congrats on your dolphin achievement! Next stop, Whaleville!
Thanks Champ!!!
There once stood a man in defiance
he was scared of those stacking giants
then came the steemit round
and he thought, "how profound"
and became a stacker within #thealliance
Now This is the Von shizzle!!!⚡️⚡️⚡️
Another Winner!!! although i've shit-kicked my vp today...
Ha ha, glad you like :)
Congrats on the milestone! I've also read that 5000SP makes you a dolphin. That's quite an accomplishment, and I think we're still in early days.
Thanks kp! I'm hoping we see some lift in Steem on the markets -- 'cause all boats rise with the tide :)
There was a Steemian from Wight,
Who could travel much faster than light,
He set off one day,
In a relative way,
And returned home the previous night.
Note, full disclosure: I only slightly modified something I saw on a sauna wall as a teenager. :)
Great post libertyteeth -- it's all YOU so far for the win 😜
@libertyteeth FOR THE WIN!!!
Looks like $0.47 😁👍
X 3
Paid out 1.41+ ---> Completed
⚡️
Congratulations mr. dolphin, @thedamus. I must admit that I've followed your lead a little bit. Not quite as quickly, I hope to get there to dolphin status sometime. First step is to get to 500. Congratulations.
Hey thanks goldkey! We're all in different parts of the river, but we're all flowing towards the sea!
well said :)
What!!! what a second, hell yeah another dolphin, great job my silver stacker brother. I just hitcha with some dolphine love.
Shamu! Shamu! Bro
😁👍
congratulations.
Cheers coldsteem!
Due to this post, I had to create a post. here is the refrain to . . .
(The DEATH of the DOLLAR - BYE BYE MISS AMERICAN BUCK)
So Bye Bye Miss American Buck
No one cares
that you're bare
so you're sh!+ out of luck
Banking Elitist do not give a fu@k
Saying this will be the Death of the Buck !
This will be the Death of the Buck !
.
And do you recall what was the deal,
The day, the petro-dollar died?
I think that happened last week with Russia buying oil with rubles and China said no more paying for imports with the dollar, china will use their own currency for payments at their own ports.
Also, it's schedged for two months out, but Shang-hai and Hong Kong will have Oil for Yuan -- convertible to Gold -- on their open markets! Total game changer...
That's right! Total Game Changer! The value of GOLD is rising, just not the manipulated price.
There once was a minnow on steemit
who wanted to be a dolphin, but could only dream it.
So he knuckled down and grew real fast
now being a minnow is a thing of the past.
Cheers and congrats my friend.
Yeah! Cheers silverbug!!!
There once was a poor man from sunny Las Vegas,
He won a million dollars and thew it all into binary cases,
He laughed with joy at all his new toys,
Rich man from sunny Las Vegas
Like it! Thanks for playing :)
Gratz on Dolphin status ;)Why thank you! @thedamus
There once was a wise Canuck
Who thought his currency was a suck
He Steemed by the hour
To increase his power
And now can't believe his good luck.
Woo Hoo @healthbasics!!!
Great post 😜👍
Congrats !!
heres my limirick
Evolution is a funny old game,
from small fish to large whale is the game,
we by-pass the amphibians and the reptiles aswell
to become Cetacians with steempower and fame
Not bad geordiesilver! A little clunky on the tongue, but a damn fine effort in incorporating the parameters.
Cheers!
Aye it dosnt quite flow ,i'll have another go
Bring it on!
😆
Young Geordie was a stacker by trade
He'd buy more everytime he got paid
Pretty soon his stack soared
And all his friends were floored
'Cause they'd spent all their money getting laid.
Makes me smile everytime!!!
Congrats on dolphin status! Man the first pic he must be 6 feet out of the air, impressive! I'll see if I can't put something together for the contest..
You missed the window GA, but come up with a good one and i'll show you my dolphin hammer! ...just not in the garage when we're doing Karate lol
Ode to @raybrockman ...
There once was a famous stacker name Ray,
Who posted on Steemit about silver every day
For him silver is life, just ask his very patient wife,
So he'll keep stackin' until all his fiat goes away.
Love it! Good job
😆
Congrats on becoming a whale!! That is quite the accomplishment! It is certainly well deserved!
Thanks Sevin! But i have a ways yet to swim with the fishes before bcoming a whale -- think i'm about 8:30 on the Steem-coin clock face ;)
You will be a whale before too long!
I was going to say between 8-9 on the clock face of the Steem Coin!
Congrats @thedamus it's great to see the good guys moving up in the world :)
Thanks brother-man!
sweet - nice work bro!
Thanks NZ-Daddy! Lotsa good times coming!
I heard that thedamus had struck it,
got too big to be in a bucket.
he's become a dolphin.
it's his vote for the win,
if he likes this limerical nugget.
that was the warm up band...
here's the thing.
"There'll be tanks in the streets by the 'morrow"
said Ben to finesse the banks' farrow.
So we gave them the cash;
then we wrote crypto hash
knowing full damn well they don't know rho.
Upvote approved 😆👍
just thought i'd give my two cents... 😆
I love the way you drop the F word lolCongrats sir! @thedamus
UPVOTED.
Hallie
Thanks Hallie, they seem to slip the-fuck in all by themselves...
😜
Congrats on the milestone!! I was trying to invest weekly but have recently taken a break to diversify a bit. The curation rewards really are crazy how much they increase as you move up. I've found that with the platform still so young. Once you get a few hundred Steem Power and you vote is worth more than a penny you are ahead of the majority of users. It's cool to be able to progress in a community rather quickly and grow with.
Hey there six,
It's true, all the rewards go up with more power! All of this is still early days so who knows? But i like what i'm reading, and there is some seriously solid people here! My home tag #steemsilvergold is populated with salt-of-the-earth people doing amazing things.
Thanks edx! That's what this whole community is about. I'm pretty happy that our tag has its own kick-ass graphic designer! And can't wait to see the design competition for the 2018 Steem coin.
😁👍
Good for you, on your way to whaledom!
Thanks elvis!
Hey Dolphin nice to meet you. Hoping someday to be the same.
Post great content and provide and you'll
get there quick!
Congrats @thedamus you're evolve to the next level of excitement
it is much more fun, yes, it is true!
😁
Congrats on becmoing a dolphin and it won't be long until we're all whales here on steemit!
Viva Steemit! And may your prediction come true :)
Congratulations :)
Thanks fbslo!
Good times on Steemit
Thanks fbslo!
Good times on Steemit
Go Canada Go! Nice @theadmus! Guess it’s a better investment than the looooonie
I spend all my loonies on silver coins ;)
Congratulations!
Hey thanks Dr. H!
Now following another dad-dude 👍
Congrats! Following, looking forward to more great posts.
There are several thousand on the way!
Congrats! good jump!)))
It feels like it looks!
Woooow...super. ...
WelcomeThanks for your kind efforts @thedamus.
Congratulations on becoming whale, good luck
Ohh cool. Congrats Dolphin. Appreciate more members investing in the platform.
...and then i saw her face -- now i'm a believer!
Am happy for you. Getting enough steem power is what i care about than the reputation. The reputation tells everyone how you have create positive influence you have created to the steemit community,but sp will help one do more and help others
Keep on swimming!
Wow! Very nice work
