What's a Steemwhale?
A user of high Steem Power ($50k to over a $million). We're talking about the big guys who bestow multiple dollars with each upvote. These are the guys that you need to follow and engage with if you want your content to receive their blessing and therefore rocket into steemit trendom.
I'm coining the phrase Steemwhale by the way (just did an onsite search for it and no one's used that word in that singular form so far... so dibs).
This post will be ongoing as more users add the usernames of Steemwhales that they've found in the comments.
To all Steemwhales who read this post... *tip of the hat... now please upvote this post haha.
Many Steemwhales appear on the 'Witnesses' list but not all. Hence the reason for this list.
Here we go:
@michaelx <-- Also a guy to watch for any marketers out there (one savvy dude)
@stellabelle <-- "She is a wonderful story teller and has quite a story to tell if people look into her." fuzzyvest
@eeks <-- got in because of his coolness factor + very high $$
@gavvet <-- so did he
Should some of these be removed?
Do you have others that should be added?
Let me know in the comments and I'll edit the list.
Happy Steeming!

I'm going to assume these people are predominantly early-adapters, but also some of the most active people on Steemit. In that sense I reckon all you need to do is to produce quality content and eventually you will get noticed accordingly.
I do like the GIF there, though.

Great list! Thank you. Other than following them how would you recommend interacting with them?
One thing I'll be trying is seeing what topics they're tagging and posting relevant content in those topics.
Other thoughts?

Nice... but it will probably make the task a hell of a lot longer lol. If people help me, I'll be able to edit this list into the most active whales.
