Help, I'm a dolphin and I can't swim!
This image is a super model dolphin. It most certainly can swim. I however, can not. Last evening, I pressed a few buttons in the Steemit wallet page, and surpassed an arbitrary number, 5,000SP.
That means I'm now a dolphin. I still can't swim.
I guess that explains the recent, global endemic of dolphins beaching themselves uponthe sand that surrounds the ocean.
But what to do with my newly found dolphin-ness? I of course, want to use it for the one true purpose dolphins exist - to take over the world.
If you're fairly new to Steem and don't understand what I'm talking about, you're probably not alone. People keep talking about the fact that we're approaching one million users. The real fact of the matter is that over 800,000 of these accounts are inactive.
The 60,000 accounts on average that are active daily definitely comprise of bots, duplicate accounts for many individuals on the chain, and in my opinion, are not yet a cause for celebration. It's almost a cause for commiseration, and I have very seriously considered powering down my Steem to take profits and continue doing what I do. But I didn't.
So why power up if you're not super bullish?
I want to reward the content creators that produce content that I genuinely enjoy consuming. So far, I've purcahsed two real life pieces of art from people on the Steemit blockchain, a tshirt from @saywha (root bear, pictured below, with me modelling terribly!)
(Artwork on tshirt by @saywha)
I've also purcahsed a piece by @lucydyer, which is currently at the picture framers (still!) I'll make a post when I get that back and its on my wall.
In addition, I've probably done the most bullish thing that I could for steemit, in contrast to the above remarks... buy a steemit number plate for my car.
This blog, this site has also helped me build stronger relationships with people I've not ever known, and known for years.
I have many favourite steemians, and will no doubt have many. I have enjoyed meeting people, which fate has smashed together because of a blockchain.
A blockchain where I'm a dolphin. I don't know how many other dolphins that there are, but I'm out of the minnowpool now, which I guess means my name is closer to the top when I vote for something now.
Congratulations on morphing into a dolphin! I guess learning how to swim will take a bit as you did go from having verticl flukes to horizontal ones so you'd have to get used to the different propulsion motions XD But you'll be fine and you'll be an awesome dolphin :)
Congrats! 😊 ... I was looking for a GIF of that dolphin that body slammed the surfer a month or so ago. Turns out I’m not cool / GIF savvy enough and was spending way too much time looking for it. The moral of the story is - if I became a dolphin, I think I would body slam a paddle boarder 😉
A freeze frame will just have to do!
I did find this though.
Haha! Funny what you find when you start searching "dolphin body slams surfer" 😂
congrats on the upgrade. Do you feel any different? Do you guys get extra flag buttons? Do they send you a little money tree to plant in your back yard?
:)
have a good day and congrats.
I'm not sure if I feel remorse, but I certainly know there's no additional, fancy buttons. It may be wrong to say this, but the label feels like a liability, to be very honest!
Perhaps one day in the future, I'll powerdown quietly into the night, but keep posting content on a regular basis as I tend to do. My mind gets awfully crowded when I don't express myself somehow!
Thanks for dropping by!
No problem. If you like comedy then you could drop an entry in over at @comedyopenmic or just stop through and check some of it out if you are just looking for a laugh. Have a good day and once again congratulations.
your very beautiful post
Congrats!! I can’t swim either!! Maybe by the time I become a dolphin I’ll be able to...anyway I was gonna ask how the Pilates is going? Probably see you guys soon anyway at the next meetup :)
I haven't started yet! Recovery via Physio is taking longer than expected.
