Recently, I was lucky enough to read @paulag's call to nominate members who would be pushed by the #tenkminnows community to become "minnows", meaning they would get promoted to cross the 500SP from 400SP. I honestly never really understood (or cared?) what the exact thresholds were between plancton, minnows, dolphins, orcas and whales, but apparently 500 is the one for minnows at the moment.
Great, so I was at 498.995 SP precisely when I commented on that post, not even expecting to participate, just wanted to support the cause because I think it's great when SP is as distributed as possible. In any case, @paulag simply powered up the remaining 1.005 SP for me (and upvoted my latest post), effectively making me a minnow with 500+SP immediately.
I've been around Steem for roughly 18 months, and not all is great on the platform. But what I'm amazed by is the fact that people are giving away their assets simply to help others, and this has always been one of the strongest drivers for me to stay (and come back over and again).
I hope that the #tenkminnows team and their efforts will be successful - I'll be doing my part in it, as far as I can. Thanks again @paulag, @steevc and the entire team for being so kind and putting so much effort in making Steem (and STEEM) a success!
All I really have are my votes, I have three days that I do not have others that I support through various tags, so those days and when I have extra votes, I drop them on tenkminnows, I am pretty happy with the direction steem price is taking, that means move vote power so more votes. Congrats on the minnow level.

what a lovely post, thank you :-)
Making minnows is rather important for the steem ecosystem. steem is very young and the ecosystem needs time to flourish. By powering up, you are supporting the entire ecosystem and allowing it that time. we are a sleeping giant in the cyrpto land and when people see steem as a valuable asset, it will be in short supply, partly because we will have powered up 10K minnows :-)

Big congratulations on becoming a minnow. I know it's purely symbolic, but it helps boost a number that people do look at. If we can get a few hundred more like you it will make a substantial difference. We need lots of engaged people with a healthy amount of SP to spread the votes around. Please support others who are on the same journey.

Congratulations on your accomplishment. Entering into the level is helpful to the entire ecosystem. Having more accounts as Minnows helps to inspire others who are coming along behind it.
It also helps the number of MVests in that category.
Now on to 1,000 SP.
