Here's the mini steemit world shown in video:

I've been working for 3 days on a miniature Steemit world on the dash in my car.

My mind operates on a symbolic system whose foundation is largely unconscious. The Steemit world, as I will describe to you illustrates this kind of semi-conscious approach. Of course dolphins and whales don't have eggs, and don't hatch, but in my mini Steemit world, they do. What I describe below is from my fantasy idea of Steemit, based only on personal whim. I used Air Dry Clay to create the eggs and I painted them with acrylics. I bought all these art supplies with Steem Dollars (thank you Steemit).

This is a whale egg.

There are many whale eggs in Steemit right now and they are actually small fish, but inside of them exists this whale egg.

When they will hatch into whales, no one knows. The future whales are characterized by an intense desire to power up instantly. They have studied the Steemit ecosystem, the whitepaper (and maybe translated it into a foreign language) and have read Dan Larimer's blog. These whale eggs have come to the natural conclusion that Steem and Steemit are worthwhile, revolutionary endeavors. @laonie is a perfect example of this whale egg. Actually, he became a dolphin really fast. He also has quite a bit of black swan in him because he invested a large amount of his own money and has been a leader in many ways.

These four eggs are: 3 dolphin eggs and one black swan egg.

Let me explain a bit more:

Dolphin eggs also can exist within minnows.

Like the whale eggs, no one knows when they will hatch. Future dolphins are characterized by their passion, persistence and originality. They may not have a lot of their own money to invest, but they invest a lot of their time because they also believe in the positive and revolutionary qualities of Steemit. They do not power up immediately, but play it a bit safer, and power up later once their immediate financial needs have been met. As they learn more and more, they begin to power up, gaining more and more rewards.

Black swan eggs are rare.

They are the rarest of all. A black swan might be among us, but perhaps no one will notice them for a long time. But when you finally notice them, they have already built a castle and are inviting you for a sharkfin dinner. A minnow who contains a black swan egg inside, may soon realize that blogging is saturated with too much competition. A black swan will begin to study https://bytemaster.github.io/ in depth. A black swan will understand that the whales would rather spend their SBD, and not convert any of their funds to fiat. A black swan will start to see the emerging marketplace in Steem, and will also understand that Steemit.com is only one branch of a giant Steem tree. A black swan will see that building another webtree, with Steem as the foundation could be way more lucrative and game-changing than sending Stellabelle another recently written blog post via Rocket Chat. But as I mentioned, black swans are super rare. It takes a rare vision to see what is barely visible, or perhaps entirely invisible to the minnows.

Idea Medusa

The Idea Medusa is where fun, creative, unexpected, profitable ideas reside.

The snakes on her head represent all the possible ideas one has for either a blog post or a business idea within Steemit. The Idea Medusa never lets you down, except when she's full of fear. When she becomes afraid, all of her ideas wither away, and go back inside. Once the fear has lifted, all the idea snakes reemerge and then you can choose one. All the little creatures at the feet of Idea Medusa are the result of the fruition of the ideas. They have turned into little dolphins, jellyfish, sting rays, seals, carp and sea grass.

unicorn and pegasus

The unicorn and pegaus lead the whale carriage.

They are the shepherds of fantastical and revolutionary ideas. They protect and assist the main whale, which is Dan Larimer, with all the necessary work. They also provide their navigation services to ensure that the whale carriage gets to the proper destinations. They are excellent navigators and the leading unicorn can interface with all types of sea creatures, even sharks, giant squid, clams and the dreaded Killer Whales. @cass is of the highly artistic variety, containing both pegasus and unicorn characteristics.

Whale carriage holds Dan Larimer

The whale carriage is the central hub of energy and logical structure that keeps Steemit together.

Many creatures are dependent upon the whale carriage for their sustenance, security, shelter and survival. There is also usually at least one whale egg nest that resides directly under the whale carriage. It's a future whale being incubated. Many creatures such as lobsters, krill, minnows, seals and rays live on or inside the whale carriage. Crabs and clams attach themselves to the top of the carriage. Killer sharks chase the carriage.

Many whale carriages like those of @smooth and @ned have not yet been built......in days to come I'll build more whale carriages. Their carriages will be large and also will have whale eggs incubating below their carriages.

You probably can't see it, but there are also three creatures trailing the carriage: one dragon, one shark and one snake. These three creatures despise the honest strength of the carriage and don't fully understand the mechanisms by which the carriage functions.

3 friends: fully grown walrus, dolphin and sea lion

These 3 sea friends have some of the best seats in the Steemit house.

They are fully grown, which means that they can easily fight off the sharks, eat decent meals and have protection in their respective groups. Some of these can even be whales. They have existed since the early stages of Steemit and are reaping the rewards of being early adopters. They are a very social, friendly bunch, and humble too. They can be silly, of course, as well, and they are usually in good spirits. They are more curious than afraid, more grateful than greedy. Some examples of these fully grown creatures are @teamsteem, @dana-edwards, @roedandp, @fyrstikken, @tuck-fhemen, @klye, @mummyimperfect, @rok-sivante, @infovore, @heiditravels and many many more.

whales swimming around jewel-studded rock

Some whales prefer to stay together, swimming around their rocks. Some of these more remote whales are cyber whales, with their insides constructed of artificial hearts. Some of these are programmed to detect spam and plagairism, while others are just programmed to suck up upvote particulates from the water. They are a part of the ecosystem, but they don't have much to do with the social aspect of Steemit life. The bigger sea creatures sometime revile them, and reduce their reputation. The Steemit krill, minnows and fully growns wish all of the cyber whales could be programmed with smarter, more useful programs. The cyber whales are trying various programs, experimenting at this stage.

sea lions

These are sea lions who are happy to be circling around one jewel. This pair arrived in Steemit together, as a couple. They are content to coexist and they do not long to become dolphins or whales. They are helpers and they keep the abuse to a minimum inside of Steemit. They are fact-checkers, and they have high ideals for society. They look out for the smaller creatures, the krill and the other micro fish, the plankton. They make sure that no one is imprisoning these tiny creatures. These sea lions are the future walruses.

There are of course some creatures that have yet to be identified. They seem to be of an ethereal, genius vapor that exists in an invisible, yet highly essential form. @theoretical is one such genius vapor, seldom seen in physical identity form, but whose deeds exist in physical reality. @dana-edwards is another one of these ethereal creatures. She exists in multiple forms, however, as does @complexring who inhabits many different shapes and identities. And of course, there are the black void viruses who make their presence known too often, and they infect others.

BONUS BUSINESS IDEAS FOR MINNOWS AND KRILL

Blogging is getting oversaturated and there are many people in Steemit who are not passionate writers. But everyone can have a place in Steemit and everyone can make money and earn rewards. For minnows who are not into writing, there are many opportunities which only need to be exploited.

Here are a list of ideas that you can start on TODAY to make money TODAY in Steemit:

1. Become a Steemit expert by studying the Whitepaper and Steemit Help.

Then, everyday, go on Steemit not to post content, but to answer newbie's questions. Challenge yourself: "How many people can I help today?"
Here's your counter question: "But how can I make money?"
Here's my answer: By helping Luke of WeAreChange with his question yesterday, I made about $130 on only a comment. A COMMENT, NOT A POST. See example here.

2. Create a Micro Magazine that focuses on one topic like Anarchism, Art, Business Ideas, etc.

Each week, compile all the best blog posts into your Weekly Best of Anarchism Magazine. Do interviews that go deeper into your chosen subject. We need micro magazines for all kinds of topics. @infovore is successfully doing this with his SteemMag. Just study what he's doing, and do your own micro magazine in your area of passion.

3. The whales want to spend SBD instead of converting them into fiat. DOH! Money to be made here......

Everyone of us has certain expenses that require fiat money: groceries, toiletries, etc. I would much rather get my basic needs met by using SBD instead of converting them. I also hate shopping. If I could get toilet paper delivered to my house using SBD instead of dollars, I'd sign up for that. I'm not a great example though because I only buy necessities and art supplies. I don't spend much money. I'm curious about what services the whales need but currently don't have via SBD. ATTENTION WHALES: What Things Can Minnows Provide To You As A Steemit Service? So, an idea to get more information about this is to create a questionnaire that pinpoints what types of businesses would be needed right now. Do interviews with the whales to narrow down a few options.

4. Commenting in order to encourage others.

Commenting is one of the most obvious things in Steemit that few pay attention to. Right now there is a massive amount of people writing, and getting zero dollars and zero responses. Challege yourself one day and say, "How many quality comments can I make on others' posts?" After you do this, make notes about the fascinating things you learned in one day. Then write up a blog post about how many lives you touched and what you learned. That's an instant success blog post waiting to happen. I have plans to do this myself, but go ahead, steal my idea. I actually stole this idea from @roelandp. He's an idea machine, but people have long forgotten about his post anyway. Commenting your ass off will result in your reputation score going up, which will then in turn result in more influence, and soon you'll notice that people with lower reputation will be seeking you out.

5. Make drunk videos.

I'm planning on starting a series called DRUNK WRITER / SOBER WRITER.
I write a post and ask people for questions that I will answer sober, then answer drunk. I video record myself, and then composite them together. Each question is answered sober and drunk. I was thinking of doing this as DRUNK ORACLE / SOBER ORACLE and taking people's deeper, more philosophical questions. I'm doing this next weekend. Or maybe, DRUNK BUSINESS STEEMIT IDEAS / SOBER BUSINESS STEEMIT IDEAS. Hey, if you want to do your own, and steal my ideas, go for it.

6. Use your own dreamworld to create your next business idea.

I use fantasy and semi-conscious dreaming to create business ideas. I do this like every day. Forget about money for a second, what sounds fun to you? I bet if you think it's fun, more will too. FUN=MONEY.
My best advice is to do what is fun (as long as you don't hurt other people.) Steemit is waiting for your original idea.

7. Make Robot Whales.

If anyone has an ability to make robots, I think there might be a good market to make cyber whales. Actually, you could make cyber dolphins, seals, and other sea creatures using robotics. I'd entertain buying one, especially if I could use Steem to pay for it. A lot of us in here have kids, so making toys for them could be something lucrative and fun.

ps- I'll be giving away more creative Steemit business ideas in an upcoming Steemit Mag called, STEAL THESE IDEAS, PLEASE.
