I have just finished reading a recent post by the wolf of Steem 
In this post she is looking for Brand-New Rebels, Disruptors, Critical, Creative & Independent Thinkers(which i might not be one or i might!)
After reading through this wonderfully written post here,it got me thinking through her points in the post.

Let me summarize a few points she talked about in that post which i encourage you to read through here
- she's tired of fake,non researched posts!
The last thing I want to read on here are a bunch of placating, soft, please-upvote-me kind of posts written by sycophant and echo-chamber dull voices.
- She's tired of greedy folks here
I consider myself an investor (and a rebellious person) and I want to do everything in my power to improve this place. I see signs of it falling into apathy, greed and disinterest at the top
Now wait for the best part here
- She's Looking for intelligent people with guts
If I had to choose between intelligence and guts, I'd go with guts. I spent a good chunk of life being a spineless scaredy cat. Guess what? Those years were a total loss. ZERO.
This post intrigued me and let me write this up in response to her request of looking for folks who can take risk and talk the truth no matter the outcome as long as it helps Steemit grow.

My Main Reason of writing this post
I wrote this post in response to what i have been observing for the short time i have been on Steemit(4months,actively 3 month!).
I have been quietly seeing a trend happening(that disturbs me) which i will tell you below.
There has been a continued trend of people especially whales of looking for all possible ways of maximizing profits(which is okay,its the wise thing to do!).
These folks do whatever is possible to upvote fellow whale posts and leave out may be valuable posts by minnows.
I am not saying it is bad to upvote post of your friends(after all its what even minnows do! hahahaha).
I am just asking if it were possible to upvote on even the posts of minnows to give them encouragement!
The Number 1 Reason Why Whales Should Support Minnows Promoting Steemit.....Check it out
At the recently concluded SteemFest event in Lisbon,my legendary friend

He said in the previous days to the event posts related to Halloween had more than 10,000 Steem and posts related to promo-steem had less than 10000 Steem.
I do encourage everyone here to check out his video presentation below.

He emphasized the need to support activities that promote Steemit in the world.
I have to admit i am a newbie in crypto,but fromt the time i have been on Steemit,i have seen the rise and rise of Bitcoin.
I became active in mid July and the price was roughly 2800$ and guess what the price is now over 7400 $ at the time of this writing.
That gives us a difference of 7400-2800=4600 usd......in just 3-4 months from one Bitcoin.
I am meant to understand the price shot up because of the increase in numbers of people getting to know about BItcoin and also using it.
Now using that calcualtion above,who makes more money
A minnow who has 0.0116 btc or Whale who has 17 btc...???
The answer is obvious is the whale.
If i am not mistaken the people who benefit the most when Steemit blows up are the whales(high Steem Power)!
As i looked through all the guys who promote Steemit in their respective communities,most of them have Steem Power of less than 1000!(me inclusive)
If you remember my bitcoin price calculation above,it does apply similarly to Steemit.
Hey by the way i am not advocating for upvotes but just saying the truth to me!
If we(promoters) bring many users to Steemit,the price value might increase and that pays highly to the whales who have enough Steem already unlike the minnows who have little Steem.
I stand to be corrected on this assumption i have!
So the number one reason whales should support minnows promoting Steemit is that it benefits whales the most!
Let me talk about the value of a simple upvote from like may be 20 whales only to an African
Let me put this across again,i am not begging for upvotes
You have the choice to do anything with your voting power.
Crypto currency is something so new in Africa especially my home country Uganda.
The whole continent is still virgin to this market,it is why you us(Africans ) promoting Steemit aggressively as
source
It is also a challenge to promote Steemit here in Africa because it is On-line based!
I have had to answer to countless questions of what Crypto and Steemit are.
The number one question almost every typical African will ask when introduuced to Steemit is
How will i withdraw the money ?or
Have you withdrawn any money yet?
These questions are natural since most of these folks have lost money in Pyramid Schemes and Ponzi schemes!
As i mentioned earlier introducing Steemit to Africa would the best thing that has ever happened to Steemit!
We would increase our user base here quickly and that would lead to the spike in price obviously!
If you remember very well,this would benefit who in particular........yes have been following!
Another problem we have in Africa is,people believe by seeing,guy want to see real results....
So if only 20 whales with just 1$ vote upvote on a post by an African,this would be 20$.........this looks really little money,but in Africa this is good money.....trust me other Africans will tell you.
As i conclude this 20$ can change an African's life yes......it scan do a lot.....if other folks see this small change of even 2 $ on a post,they will get on board and attract more numbers.
The whales here should think of this critically as they upvote their fellow whales,that a mere 1$ can bring change and big number of this untapped African Crypto market to Steemit.
By you upvoting a minnow for only 1$,you stiil make even curation rewards.....which is a win-win .
As you continue upvoting your fellow whales,its better you also suport this folks who are helping Steemit grow by bringing and convincing new users day in and day out.
In the end when the prices shoot you(whales benefit the more,hard fact!)
