Starving in the belly of a Whale - Tom Waits. Via: Youtube

Today may be Thanksgiving but tomorrow is BernieblackFriday and some people will do anything for a buck.

Yes Steemit is great. It is better than Facebook and Instagram that take all your ideas and words and post with Ads and line the pockets of the filthy stinking rich while the rest of us poor minnows are starving in the belly of a whale. We have much to be Thankfull this year... especially Steemit. Have a great day everyone and thanks to @berniesanders for helping us little minnows with a few scraps of food from the Belly of a Whale.

LYRICS
Life is whittled
Life's a riddle;
Man's a fiddle
That life plays on
When the day breaks
And the earth quakes;
Life's a mistake
All day long
You tell me:
Who gives a good goddamn
You'll never get out alive
Don't go dreaming; don't go scheming
A man must test his mettle
In a crooked old world
Starving in the Belly
Starving in the Belly
Starving in the Belly of a Whale
Oh, you're starving in the Belly
Starving in the Belly
Starving in the Belly of a Whale
Don't take my word
Just look skyward
They that dance must pay the fiddler
Sky is darkening
Dogs are barking
But the caravan moves on
You tell me:
Who gives a good goddamn
You'll never get out alive
Don't go dreaming; don't go scheming
A man must test his mettle
In a crooked old world
Starving in the Belly
Starving in the Belly of a Whale …

Tom Waits is awesome though

Of course :) I was thinking in context of bernieblackfriday :)

Well it says that many of us minnows are starving for any morsel of Steem and every now and then a Whale throws us a few scraps.... anything for a buck

You're nearly a whale :)

Not even close... most of my Steem came from @randowhale

I meant, @60 .... :) past midnight....what am I doing aimlessly wasting my time on here? I get to enjoy some nice art. Have you read any of @johngeddes' poems?? Happy thanksgiving...

On another note, I made 10x on POWR, the PowerLedger token. It has an interesting concept. I was going to sell out at 10x (10 x AU$1000 = $10,000 - not a fortune, by any means), and invest into some new ICOs, but someone gave me the hot tip it might reach $100 each (hmm - unlikely), so I resisted....is this the start of something big? I really need to learn how to release my wallets from the clutches of the anti-virus program on my computer......

Wow that is great... when you are a millionaire maybe you can buy some of my paintings

Check out this site, and see what I mean about buying in populous countries in relation to uptake. Also, be aware that this is indicative of current popularity, no relation to future trends or possibilities. Also, I just bought into CanYa ICO, the future block chain airbnb/uber/airtasker all rolled into one :) https://walletinvestor.com/forecast/rupee-prediction
you can use this site, i.e. https://walletinvestor.com/forecast - to check on the potential future value of any crypto they monitor and list - happy steeming :)

Thanks - I will check it out.

Also, check out how much the same site rates Ethos (used to be Bitquence) to be worth in five years. What drugs do you think they are taking? Or if this is real, well.....

The valuations all seem so unbelievable .... They say Bitcoin will hit $1 Million. After seeing it rise from $500 to almost $9,000 in one year it may be true.

I know. I guess it reflects current activity only
