Minnow Initiave and ChallengesteemCreated with Sketch.

With all talk on Discord and various other channels that are used to complain regarding the Circle Jerks and unfairness towards minnows by the whales, I thought it about time to lay down some truths.

Firstly, just shut the hell up. Complaining isn't doing anything, and it certainly isn't gaining you followers or voters. While you're there complaining, I'm here hustling and working and trying to get out from the hole that I'm in.

Secondly, Life sucks, deal with it. You reap what you sow. If you want to be a whale, or a Dolphin get out there are be one. Make progress everyday. Those elite positions won't just fall in your lap, they have to be earned. To earn it, you need to write, and SOCIALISE to gain meaningful followers.

Lastly, we ALL circle jerk. The problem is that our minnow jerks just dont reap the same rewards as the whales do. But this is good, it shows that a community is being built. You work toegether with your community to build the rewards, to share the stories and build a bigger community. After a while your minnow jerking, may turn into Dolphin jerking, then eventually if your lucky YOU AND YOUR COMMUNITY will be the people that the new minnows are complaining about.

So on to my initiative and challenge. The best way to improve your status is to INVEST IN YOURSELF. So for 1 week, set that Rewards box to Power Up 100%. This will boost that SP, fast tracking you onto the road to Dolphinhood.

Now before people complain that there are better ways to get a better return, I hear you. But I want to break the cycle of spending, and build a sense of investment in the platform. Once you understand why you need that POWER, you can then look at ways to get MORE POWER!!!!!

So join with me, and for 1 week, every post you do choose Power Up 100% and lets see how far you come after that week.

Exactly what I've been thinking the whole time.

And yes much more productive to hustle than lament the situation :)

I love it when someone just says it how it is! 😂 Can't say I've ever come across this sort complaining myself, but then if probably run a mile if I did.

Well said!

Having been a wee minnow not so long ago, I do what I can to help others... learned pretty quickly that I could either put my energy into creating content and engaging the community... or I could put it into bellyaching.

So... good for you!

Thank you sir. Its all about snapping the mindset of some people I believe. Nothing just happens, so why sook about it.

Great post mate! Hubby and I were talking about the circle jerk thing on the weekend and said exactly that.. we all do it.. we just aint worth as much right now lol.

If you think about it, its what we do in real life.. we help out and give a hand up to our circle of friends and family.. and we grow that circle by establishing relationships with new people. nothing at all wrong with it and why would it be different online?

As you know I invest anything I can spare back into SP so I can delegate it out and up my voting power and always happy to look for more ways to help this community. We each grow by growing together - we can't help the whole world but why shouldn't we help those we connect with and form a relationship with. If everyone did that with their circle..I think we'd be in a better place - on and offline

I'm going to power up 100% (Not sure why I don't actually as it all goes to SP in the end anyway lol)

Again.. great post.. I love this!

Thanks Shelly. Great summary. :)

Great post, and even better initiative. Count me in!
