Nice guy.. Sounds like a really nice idea!
I wish everyone good luck!
ooo i qualify
@htooms you can be of assistance to my STEEMIT DOMINATE TWITTER marketing initiative by delegating your Steem Power to my account so I can help more authors get attention while I also bring more people to support the initiative.
Everyday I scan the daily posts published on Steemit manually and look for quality content creators to give more boost to their work.
click here!This post received a 40% upvote from @randowhale thanks to @lucashunter! For more information,
Disclaimer: I am just a bot trying to be helpful.
Made a post on how my biological father passed 4 years ago, and Just yesterday His family attorney called me and let me know There was a life insurance policy.
I am too receive $500,000 or so for my self and the other $500,000 shared to my three half sisters. Crazy how life is! Well that wont be till August and I will be buying up lots of steem with it! Please check out my post!
It would be gnarly to see how it is to own such power I might not be up for it but seeing as you are a great man and a helper of community it would be an honor to try out the whale harness before I become one my self to see if I sit on it good:)
Great talk thanks!
Hi @htooms,
Are you up for a quick and fun interview? For an unpopular opinion puffin interview? I was planning on doing something similar to this https://steemit.com/story/@puffin/unpopular-opinion-puffin-interview-with-steemit-s-ned-and-dan
β but this time a real and not a fictional interview.
I will come up with a funny introduction of how I noticed you on Steemit. Here is the rough scetch, which might change a little: As a whale you were too big to eat for a bird. So I decided to watch how you overrun and crash other fish, so I was able eat them. But instead of crashing them into little pieces, you protected them, they swam in your mouth and with your help they were able to break through boundaries, reach deep waters etc.
Q1)
On Steemit you a considered a hero. Would you consider yourself as the Robin Hood of Steemit?
Q2)
How did you come up with the idea of your βI'm not going to upvote you π Do it yourself!β series? Did you watch Avatar and got excited when you saw the avatar robot suit?
Q3)
Is the following image correct? You basically offer a powerful whale suit for a couple of hours?
Q4)
Sounds fascinating! What made you invest a bunch of bitcoins in Steemit? Are you glad you did?
Q5)
What do you think are the biggest obstacles for Steemit going onwards?
Q6)
Are you here to stay? Have you made your mind up yet in regards to that question?
Short answers would certainly do, so I hope, you are up for it and find the time to answer these. It would be very cool if you would participate.
It has only been (not even) two weeks since I have been free to positively impact Steemit again. I really do like your format, Following you now.
Sure.
Actually, my kids picked the images. I know, boring answer, right?
@htooms, I am so glad you took the time to respond. These are definitely answers I am able to work with. Might take a bit, but I will update you once it is done.
Just published our chat

Hope you enjoy reading it.
Thanks again. It was a lot of fun to create this article!
I don't think I could handle all that voting power. But if I did I would probably start drinking, pass out and miss my opportunity.
Hopefully I can continue to maintain relationships with one another.
Good job and have a nice day ...I chose to vote for you @htooms though it looks very small, does not even matter. But I do all that just for good friendship, I do not mean to force you to vote for me, the most important thing is that I can learn from the way you make a post that is all good and useful, I salute you !!
I'm so glad to see your reputation climbing again!
Great!
Maybe some inter-galactic for out-of-this-world experience! :D
Hey @mendezand, don't forget to have a beer while having fun upvoting!
You make me laugh a lot with your comments, my friend. Greetings.
Participate in the contest.
This is just like passing torches to everybody to lighten up steem!
The one by the computer screen.I didn't use any mobile device when view this post.

Great like every time. Happy steeming !
This is an amazing post and so encouraging to everyone who is just starting or wants to win! Did you come up with this game yourself? haha really good way of getting steemians involved:)
Yes I did. And I had to fight to the death (see flag war below) to keep doing it! I have had no problems since the peace talks - glad to still be here.
yeah crazy!! well at least its still here!!
But I will always follow and upvote you, even though it is not valuable to you, nice post @htooms, resteem permission
By all means! Thank you.
With pleasure....! you are welcome @htooms
It would be nice to have a bit of SP so I can help my colleagues, and many posts that are undervalued as well as the cuminadad of speaking spanish.
Greetings good initiative.
Soon I will have 50 SP and I will be able to participate in the "I'm not going to upvote you π Do it yourself! # 6" .. do not just participate .. I will win!
I wonder what it would be like, to be a minnow that thinks it's a whale?
A girl explaining Steemit to a friend
Girl: Okay, so, i identify myself as Steemian
Friend: And that means that you may have steem dollars
Girl: Yup
Friend: Or Steem
Girl: Yup
Friend: And that means that you are actually a Steemian
Girl: Yup
Friend: So... that actually means that if you don't have Steem dollars or Steem right now then you're Steeaming?
Girl: ...
Girl: ...
Girl: ...
Girl: Did u just....?
im on 32 sp, once i get to 50. You will be shocked by my comments. =)
Actually I would prefer the APU in the Matrix Revolutions, not the one in Avatar. Meeeh.
Ok I'll accept it anyway. :)
My name of Corey DeFrancesco of @abn, The Armageddon Broadcast Network.
You have a new follower for this AWESOME contest opportunity, and this is my vote.
You are "Dropping the Mic" with this epic post.
Will take a while to get 50 SP but once i get it your upvote is mine :D
I wish to have 50 SP, any way you get my 0.01$ upvote and one follower.
I'm really glad you're back with your whale vote lending to others! Really nice project you are running there. Keep up the good work.
BTW: I hope you start getting renewed interest in Steemit after some of the more negative experience you had quickly after coming to Steemit.
What was the negative experience?
Better a question for @htooms to answer, something with downvoting of his posts and comments.
Ah fair enough. Never quite understood the hostility on the internet. Isn't everyone here for essentially the same reason?
A good question, I think their is some unfairness going on, that causes some fights. When money gets involved people change. Even misunderstanding can become wars much easier. Anyway, for details on what htooms had to experience, please ask him. He knows best. I'm just happy he returned with his generous whalevote project.
I think I would use your voting power to remove your vote from this plagiarized post https://steemit.com/steemit/@alexmejia/steemit-explained-in-1-minute
A noble cause indeed :)
do I have a chance, you vote for me :D :D
congratulations @mendezand , have a blast and would be great if you could visit my blog :) @htooms, you are awesome and I'm following you for all your awesomeness. keep spreading the love!
I thought a big header would grab your attention.
If it didn't, you probably need glasses π
Give me the Steem Power - Mr. Steemit gonna make it rain on all ya'll!!!
Wow, this is very cool! That's alot of voting power!
I would love to have that voting power. I have recently joined Steem and am simply loving it. I have never seen such sense of community on any online platform. It is people like you @htooms who make this platform worthwhile. :)
everyone is not @mendezand to have such MAGENETIC LUCK POWER to catch the WHALE VOTING POWER
LOL. Participate in the contest.
Already did that by commenting, i think
I don't meet requirements, but this is pretty cool! Now back to pondering the mysteries of life.
I am a newbie here on steemit and I like that people like you don't just think about their greed but also for the development of community and sharing.Appreciate this effort and idea @htooms, resteemed π« ,
I thought I would try a poem this time about steemit.... here goes:
Roses are red, β
Violets are blue,
Steemit is awesome,
@htooms is too!!!!
Well done @mendezand. Enjoy your new found power. Xxxx
Thanks dude.
Participate in the contest.
I'm waiting for a whale to come along and school us minnows on steemit.
