I think minnows are as powerfull as whales. They both need each other. It is not always about money, followers, support no matter how small matters.
No, I do not think whales can do without minnows on the steemit platform.
And yes, 100k minnows vote for a witness could earn him a good rank of the witness ranking.
Well said, power and influence, yes. Minnows are the majority on the Steemit platform. If they stop engaging the community by posting and commenting, there won't be increment in steem of the whales by way of curators reward.
They can do without minnows to an extent
You're right
whales has more power and influence than minnows. Whales don't need in minnows and can upvotes himselves for profits
Whales need minnows. First, without minnows, the concept of whales won't even make sense. Plus, it's minnows that do the real job and keep posting. If all minnows leave, Steem price will crash.
But for witness ranking, hmm. Whales and dolphins have more influence
Agree. Everyone has something to offer. Without all the minnows up voting the whales, they won't get their posts in the trending section. But yes, influence of minnows is less as compared to whales and dolphins. I'm not sure if witness votes too are accounted based on the SP of voter.
I think whales are the ones keeping this Community a life, without them many will quit and steemit will be less fun.
Minnows surely have influence on steemit as they not only help whales but also new users on steemit. I think getting news users here is main motive. I don't think whales can do much without minnows as they help thier post to come up on trending. Minnows witness vote doesnt affect.
To my understanding, minnows aren't as powerful as whales but as important as valuing the existence of whales and steem blockchain. Also, minnows' vote are important in witness category - in keeping the platform running smoothly and count in every areas. More reason witnesses campaigns for vote.
Yeah sincerely. Minnows are like the backbone of the steemit community but many don't know it yet. It is the votes of minnows that give contest participants the winning edge and as @i-zappl-only said "minnow votes are important in witness category. Successful whales were once minnows.
Thanks for the information :)
