RE: I’m a Bittrex Hostage, What It Means For You
Hey Your Whaleness,
Now, having gotten your attention, do engage your eyeballs with the content that follows.
I’m calling on you for votes and follows based on my ability to consistently deliver engaging original content. No need to beat around the bush here, I’m telling you to steer your mouse button over to my my blog @pawsdog and start spreading a bit of that whale manna around by upvoting my articles. It will only take a second to step down from Whale mountain and use your GOD POWERS to curate a few of articles. I’m not the typical minnow here that recycles garbage and creates posts consisting of regurgitated links. I deliver detailed technical analysis of cryptocurrencies, as well as blunt but insightful commentary to my existing followers; but I need more.
So I am coming to the source, to the well from which all things spring eternal, I am at the base of “Whale Mountain” screaming; “Hey you, don’t act like you don’t see me, get your ass down here and curate some solid content”. Sure you may have differing opinions on where an asset is headed and that’s great. If you think you have the chops to intelligently substantiate alternative opinions with evidence to the contrary then bring it on. Regardless, it’s solid, detailed, lengthy and well thought out content that engages the reader; the type of content STEEMIT needs if we are to keep gaining users at a rate sufficient to satisfy your large mammalian appetites.
While I am as of yet, not a STEEMIT whale I have achieved WHALE status in other professions and areas of interest during my life. Two lessons learned thus far in having found those successes are; to have dogged tenacity towards a goal, and don’t take “No” for an answer. Go straight to the source, find those that can benefit you most and make yourself known and keep making yourself known. Through sheer will, determination and a positive attitude motivate them to find the enthusiasm to support you and your goal. Make your goal their goal and one by which you can both benefit.
So here I am, and I will keep being here; I will be on your pages and posts like a Hobo on a muffin, like sausage gravy on biscuits, and like BBQ sauce on ribs. I’m going to keep banging your comment sections like a screen door in a hurricane. So we can do it the easy way or the hard way. I say we be friends, get to know each other, share some ideas; we can take it slow. I won’t ask you to give it all up on the first date. Let’s start by holding hands or maybe hug; a cursory review of my content and an upvote/resteem or two when you find an article worthy of your whale manna.
This is self promotion at its finest, and you can certainly down vote me for my audacity, for daring to leave the safe boundaries of my minnow pond for the open seas so as to hunt the whales within them. Regardless your take on my refusal to peacefully submit to the confining borders of my current STEEMIT socioeconomic class; I will keep creating solid original content. I will stay on your ass and eventually you will notice and appreciate the effort that in the end will benefit us all.

Is Bitcoin really decentralized, or are we being led like lambs to the slaughter?
In conclusion I think there may be a disconnect between us minnows and you whales. Perhaps the tiny sound waves we produce here at the surface just can’t pierce to the depths at which you live. So I have taken the liberty of having my above proclamation translated into whale speak just for you.
@kingmotan, @wizarty while I appreciate your hard work towards the goal of keeping the site clean so to speak, you failed to read the post you flagged for what it was. A comical introduction, gateway towards further communication and opportunity to network with a new author. It is this ban happy, vote down happy mentality and overzealous wielding of the "Ban Hammer" of old that many authors or new users can find discouraging. If you would of not been so short sighted and read through the comments that followed; you would have noticed that myself and the OP actually made nice, created a mutually beneficial networking opportunity, now follow each other and comment back and forth on each others content. Learn to read between the lines and follow the entirety of the conversation.. That said, nice to meet you and wish you the best of luck in regards to your more recent posting about Polinex.. it sucks when exchanges overlook the millions of people that actually feed their machine.
What a w*nker
Wow, what a well thought out and in depth reply. I like your haste to jump in the boat of a member that has higher rep and punch yourself a ticket on the hate train.
In fact let me do you the service you failed to provide me. I will check your page real quick and give your writing and unbiased review. Lets see what goodies we find there..

A cut and paste from cryptocoins news (falls into the aforementioned non creative bullshit articles I spoke of before, check any of mine for tips on writing engaging content)..

Fluff article of stats I can pretty much find anywhere, nothing engaging there, no original thoughts, no real demonstrable writing ability or vote worthy content here.

Regurgitated links, see comments about your second article.
Now not being a dick, I would say if you want success put in the work and stop calling names.
Want to be successful put in the work.
This emotional blackmail reply doesn't help your cause either.
Then read my content and you be the judge of my work. It's not emotional black mail, unless there is some deep seeded truth to it that disturbs you. It's self marketing and an opportunity for you to view and judge the quality of my writing. Which consists of more than regurgitated links, or any of the other cookie cutter non engaging bullshit that you find here.
You underestimate how annoying it is seeing a reply like this. I'm telling you it's not going to have the effect you want. The way to get your work out there is be consistent, stay on topic, and engage with the community. Check out minnowbooster too.
Unfortunately I have to do it organically without the aid of minnowbooster, whalepower and the like.
As I am running a study on viability of STEEMIT as a wealth building platform. Basically finding out if it works, if the market is over saturated and if up and coming authors or new users actually stand a chance of success. Your welcome to look at my page @pawsdog and look for the million dollar challenge. I'll ad no more links here out of courtesy. I do thank you for your input, that is appreciated.
I empathize with your Bittrex story as well, and that is good content that grabbed my attention. I likewise followed you as I can appreciate the pain that comes with exchanges being dicks. This is likely due to the fact that they are largely unregulated and can essentially do as they please when they please with little consequence. I have .8 BTC trapped in that shit hole myself as I try and navigate the stupidity that is their advanced Id process.. If you trade crypto as I would assume you do. Then I will be more than happy to provide insightful comment to your article and if your feeling the love, pay it forward..
Fair enough and much appreciated.
I'll check out your work. I'm a fan of Steem and will be interested to see the results of your study.
Cheers and best of luck!
Be careful whos page you post this on. It will not be taken kindly by many people. Some of them may even flag your account into oblivion. Just so you know.
Its somewhat of an assumed risk; hate me or love me at least you will know me. It's actually quite odd really; a mixed bag. I've gotten vote ups from a few with 70 plus rep along with positive comments and a few votes down from those with rep in the 50's.
I think that it will really come down to whether or not the reader has the aptitude to take it for what it is; a well written, yet comical reach out and introduction or whether they will feel oddly threatened and angered by bits of data in cyberspace.
I can see it as such, if you are a whale with a good heart, that can see past yourself, is interested in the meanderings of us lesser creatures then you will take it at face value and either ignore it, comment on it or reach out to me about it; end result being a mature exchange of ideas and and an introduction.
If they are of the type to get offended, then likely they have not had very much control in their lives and take shit way to seriously. Instead of being benevolent they will get vengeful.
I had one such dick go around and just random flag my comments unrelated to the issue above; comments that the actual OP's enjoyed and we were actively having a conversation about. It was just a way for someone whom I would beat the shit out of in real life to act out their fantasy power in the cyber world. Congrats Mr. Dick.. I'm crushed.. lol..
Failure for me is not really an option.. I seem to collect as many downs as ups and the followers goes up, rep loss can be the cost of doing business I suppose. .build it, do something a bit outrageous, shed some, gain followers, build it, shed some, etc.. not everyone is going to like what I'm selling and I'm ok with that.. I wish them well regardless..
Thank you for the heads up though, I appreciate the dialogue
