Whales, Dolphins and Minnows / For New Steemains
Thank You For Your Support and For Honoring Me With Your Up Vote...
Few Days ago, I was asked about this 3 categories !
The reason why I want to share this info for new steemains..
Whales, Dolphins and Minnows:
Since Steem is a meritocratic system and not a democratic one,
some users have more voting power than others when curating content.
This power comes from the user’s Steem Power holdings.
Whales:
Users with huge amounts of Steem Power are called whales.
A single vote on your content by a whale can add hundreds of dollars to your payout. Whales can calibrate the power of their votes now, so not all whale votes confer huge rewards anymore.
Dolphins:
Users with a medium amount of Steem Power are called dolphins.
One of their votes can add a few cents or a dollar to your payout.
Minnows:
Users with a small amount of Steem Power are called minnows.
These users’ votes may add less than a cent to your payout.
You will start out as a minnow unless you invest significant
amounts of bitcoin into Steem Power.
Don’t worry about these categories.
Being a minnow doesn’t mean you’re doomed to fail.
It just means you need to put something of value into the system,
be that content curation, content creation, investment or something else.
Over time, the successful content creators will rise to the top and become the whales whereas any whales who don’t succeed at content creation will see their relative share of Steem Power decline.

Thanks. Very helpful.
This want eat Minnows..
He's not quite a whale, not quite a dolphin... but he sure looks hungry
haha
the whales should lead for a good content curation and must support the minnor for post and shareing good content so all the steemit community get a gain and fill the purpose.
Well Said
Thanks for comment
Steem on
I found here the best support to new users I have seen in social media. Everyone has the opportunity to grow. And the fact that theres only upvotes makes for a much friendlier atmosphere. I know theres the flag but its still different, Reddit´s downvotes provoke a lot of trolling and bad energy.
Thanks for the clear explanation!
That's true about Reddit, some subreddits have massive downvote trolling almost every day and it tends to discourage newcomers from posting.
Thanks for support
Have a great sunday
Steem on

Thanks for reminding again that we are still minnows here. LOL
We must try to become Dolphins
Thanks for support

thanx a lot dear.
Thank you for this post.
Love your work and the whales.
Thank you very much for your work @lordoftruth, I am a newborn minnow so I find your blog very useful to understand better Steemit. Following your advice I can think of a question.
If you upvoted something, would you spend steem power?
Sorry if my English is bad, Im from Spain and Im lerning (So corrections are appreciated)
