1. Because we got flooded with content :) and only whales can stay afloat
2. Because elephants can't spray as much water and they can't splash their tails (upvotes and flags :D )
3. To pinko the panther everything is pink especially coins and ladies
4. They are eating plankton(curation rewards)
5. Bit coins because bit pixels won't sell :D and neither will databits :D It gets better tho, we have steem not steem coins :) steems count.

Would you like a 3D print of a Steem token to get your hands on one, I'd trade it at current price :) or at least it sounds reasonable, I need to see how much the material and printing time will sum up to.
