STEEMIT - the Wild West of the future internet - We need more Whales (featuring @jacor as author)
If we look at the evolution of the internet:
Internet 1.0 - First Generation of the Web
Web 2.0 - Introduction of Social Media, Sharing of User Generated Content
And now we are building to Web 3.0 The Third Generation of the web - The Internet of Value
Many attempts were made to get Crypto Currency into the mainstream and as many as possible users of the currency. Steemit is according to me the first killer app to make this possible… I have never had the urge to buy bitcoin :) I am however more and more interested in all Crypto Currencies…
STEEMIT has in my books put Crypto Currency on the map and many people will start to Buy and Sell various Crypto's as a result.
A very important note for all of us trying our utter best to be noticed and build a reputation is that like anything new, the creators and developers of the STEEMIT platform, requires all our inputs into the future of STEEMIT.
I have been in the IT industry for many years, developed many software applications and products. One thing I can promise you is that in my experience end-users of the systems and platforms have a massive impact of the direction.
I suspect that the steemit development team, are looking at the trends that are developing amoungst the end-users of the platform to see how they can improve the future platform.
- How do people vote?
- What do people vote for?
- What time of the day are people posting?
- Why do certain posts trend?
- What don't people like?
- Why are people commenting on specific posts?
I am sure we can expand the list into eternity as there are just too many questions to ask.
May users of Steemit are posting that they are frustrated about their posts not being up voted. I fully agree and it is frustrating for me as well. If we look at the user stats we can see that there are categories of users, and the smallest user bases are the Superhero's and the legends - a Total of 220 whales and dolphins:
Now 220 users will really struggle to read each and every post made, hence they cannot upvote all the posts.
What we need is more Whales in the community.
This can only come through time and the evolution of the users.
More and more users will earn more and more steem power and therefor, More Whales WILL be created through time.
If we have more whales we have more people that can upvote valued posts into the trending area...
As per my earlier post, https://steemit.com/steemit/@jacor/account-freeze-build-a-reputation-while-you-can
All we can do is ensure to build a good reputation , and community and we WILL be rewarded through time.
I believe that the steem white paper is a very good read for each and every one of us, as the "Testers" of this exciting new platform. The White Paper outlines the vision of the platform.

well spotted
Shame
Totally agree with you , we need more whales, i registered 3 days ago, near the top 220 club now. I can easilly vote my own post to the top of the comments, i feel powerful, it's the first time i feel powerful, because in China, i don't have any voting power.
You man deserve a Up Vote! Also do read this:

My goal is to become a whale and give as many people wealth as I possibly can!

Holy shit i cannot agree more, i'm not even phased if i become a whale, we just need more!
There's so few at the moment that there is only a few times of the day where you have a chance of actually getting up voted by a whale. Which in fact is quite deterring as a poster, and even if you post at the right time you still have a big chance of them missing your post.
good post
young whales will show up from steemit member that loyal and active build steemit but they need time to proof that they are worthed. Its also old whales duty to guide that young whales to the surface.
On a common forum old whales = super moderator, and young whales = young moderatot. Old whales can choose a young whales bassically from the tag that he know, example someone expert on travelling tag he can be young whales on travel tag etc..
I am not expert on managing community , its just my idea for better steemit.
Cheers
Thanks @gavvet
