Since I have been feeling a bit amused (and maybe jealous) of the Cryptokitties, I've decided I also have an emptiness that can't be filled by human interaction, hence I need a pet. Cryptokitties just aren't enough to fill the void that I feel, so..
I've decided to adopt a Minnow. Not just adopt, but live vicariously through you co-dependently.
Not just adopt though, to take an unnatural, over-involved interest in a minnow's life
- If you are adopted, I will live for your success or failure.
- I will over-estimate your successes and become over-involved in your failures
- I will brag about you even when you don't deserve it. I will post about how fabulous you are even if you are barely average.
- I will nag you and give you unsolicited advice
- I will upvote you just to keep you happy, I will demand that others acknowledge your talents and shame them for upvoting others over you.
- I will quickly tire of you when you become self sufficient and can no longer meet my need to be needed
Since my own success is moderate at best, I hope to catapult you past my own level and remind you for the rest of our lives, how I am responsible for all of your victories.
If you are interested in becoming my online project giving me illusions of making a difference and a smug sense of personal importance, please apply below. I will focus on you until I lose interest. Likely about a month, after which I will forever remind you that I launched your career.
Please let me know how you can fulfill my need to be needed below..
Must be a small account with less than 1k SteemPower, a history of PoweringUp, and some reasonable content.
For the rest of you feeling unloved, you should adopt a minnow also, everyone needs an indentured servant.
(it is all in fun, but I really will adopt a minnow for a bit)
I knew it! I knew those cryptokitties were going to result in unforeseen collateral damage. But I wish you all manners of success with your new project... I shall follow it with interest, and hope you end up with many groupies who will collectively help launch the wee minnow directly to whalehood... or something like that.
To totally misappropriate an overused political quote: "Make Steemit Interesting Again!"

Seriously though. If you keep this adopt a minnow up for long term, maybe I can 'apply' again when I'm more reliable ;-)
I'll watch you and your new protege very closely...very critically...;-)

Beings this platform is based on all of our our mutual success your boosting my future will also in turn boost your own. The mere fact that you even came up with such a proposal is inspiring and I think we may find ourselves working towards the success of others as a team. #minnowadoption is a great way to pass on the torch... you help me, I am likely to inherit your generous nature to find myself all grown up and following in your footsteps. I am a student of crypto and have lots to learn. I plan to share what I learn in a simplified way in order to make it more approachable for those who may not be a tech savy as someone like yourself or the other big fish in these digital waters. My gratitude will literally be announced in the form of posts, comments and genuine appreciation until our goals are met or become bored. All of this being said, I am likely to bore you quickly with my dry humor and kind nature. I will be the biggest fish I can be and I know that will never happen without the communities support, putting myself up for adoption is admitting that I am nothing without it. Finally you will have to live out your days knowing that you chose a qualified and hard working candidate. That's the hard part. Warning.... this could also result in some giant misunderstanding and the outcome could be steem kitties and since kitties eat fish, this could get ugly!

lol, had I adopted a crypto kitty, I would have been able to breed it and sell the offspring, but in this case...
You will have to sell your own off-spring.

This is a great initiative as there are too many minnows and planktons who are unloved and unrecognized.
They post great content but is sadly just getting cents or even no votes at all. I remember my own journey of my own introduceyourself post barely hitting 10 cents but you continue and post on.
Sometimes I get good exposure and votes, more often not but you continue on hoping that you'll get curated or be witty enough or funny enough or hit on a piece that resonates well with folks.
The introduceyourself is the obvious choice to look for a new minnow or plankton to help out but those freewrite and fiction tags could also be a good place as there are a lot of good content out there that get undervalued.
I would like to nominate fellow writers @rdj and @felt.buzz though as they have great content.

Now a days it is very hard to find a honest and hard working people in real world activities and finding a trustworthy Steemit candidate for adaptation is not and easy task,
I wish you all the best.

Excellent, i like your thoughts you are planning to adopt a minnow in steemit and then support him or her so that they able to continue their journey on steemit effectively, well according to my opinion we all have to give in such a way that even our left hand remains unaware of it and another thing is that if we give and then expect a return for it then we are just following the proverb do good & cast in to the river, so in my opinion just pick a minnow silently which you think is a most deserving one and then continue to give him or her your support, i hope this act will surely bring in great results for you, Stay blessed and thanks for sharing

Hi @whatsup, I've met very loving humans here at Steemit and congratulations you are new on the list. I've seen some whales who are not generous at all. They're not giving. But the tribe of people that I'm talking about is blessed with generosity - they believe in getting success they sharing. I think this is important even from market economy stand-point. Just like honesty has a market value the generosity has its fruits too regardless of whether you think of it or not.
I joined Steemit back in July 2017. I've been writing whatever I learnt here. Due to some personal affairs, this journey has not been smooth. I had to stop my Steemit activities twice but I resumed again because Steemit for me is just like love at first sight. Finding this platform was just like finding a pond of water in the desert. Since my joining, I've been watching a lots of videos on Steemit and wrote blogs/guides for the minnows based on whatever I knew. I don't fully understand what you wrote above but I believe in your services for the platform so in a way, I believe in you.
Stay awesome and generous.
Steem On!
