HEY STEEMIT WHALE,

Did I challenge your Whaleness with my shocking title and apparent call out? Got your attention didn't it? That was its job. 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.

12/6/2017 The Market View and Trading Outlook

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.

Ha! This is amazing!
You're absolutely right though... for Steemit to successfully find mass adoption something has to be done about the weird huge divide of early-adopters and everyone else. Steemit could literally become the biggest and best resource on the internet over the next decade... but only if the system works as it was intended.

Also, who wants to get in the way of an ex-ordnance guy?

Lol True...

The funny thing is, all the people who joined around last August were saying the same thing. I bet you that all the people who join next year will also be saying the same thing; however by then, they'll be calling you an early adopter :-)

There is a divide, no doubt about it; however you should view it that soon you will be called an early adopter, seeing as Steemit isn't even 2 years old yet.

Good luck in your quest @pawdog, you have a supporter here! :-D

This is true, I bought my first Bitcoin at $230.00, so some call me an early adopter whereas I consider those that bought at .008 cents to be the early adopters. I imagine it is simply a matter of context and perspective. That said the greater the competition, the more diluted the pool becomes; especially in light of the fact that so many posts and articles are pure fluff or a testament to human laziness over drive to succeed. I thank you for your support @cryptogee; I look forward to debating cryptocurrencies and market analysis with you. It will be exceptionally entertaining when we find something we do not agree on and put forth our views.

Yup, just like people in 10 years time will look back at btc buyers in 2017 and say, wow, I wish I got back into it then before they were $1 million each!

You're right, the pool gets more diluted and the feed more cluttered, for the first early adopters (like myself), it took maybe 1-2 months of grinding away and churning out good content to get established.

Perhaps now that time has extended to 6 months now that there are more people here, soon it'll be even longer. Although I am optimistic about the long-awaited Steem groups, I'm pretty sure that feature will increase visibility.

It will be exceptionally entertaining when we find something we do not agree on and put forth our views.

It will indeed! Though I have a feeling we'll have to really probe around to find that issue :-)
