First off, "I'm just a minnow, I can't do ...." is just a cop out! You figured out how to get on Steemit, you know more about Steemit than 99.9% of the human race, and your upvote is infinitely more powerful than 100% of the Facebook thumbs in the world.
So go out, fertilize some roe, and let's make lots of minnows! That is the best way to make yourself into an aquatic mammal someday. (another comment to follow, look for it :)

exactly!!!!! Getting .03 is better than zero! plus you can comment on people's posts!

I love your posts! You have such great content and a creative mind! Thanks for teaching me about steemit! I am following you and glad we are connected! @iot-corp

Creative mind, that is an understatement!

You are putting in so much effort in this campaign. I really like your idea of creating clay coins. The posters are awesome too.

Unfortunately, as a minnow just 9 says old, I do not have too much steem power. However, I will keep track of the campaign and join in when I earn sufficient steem dollars. Thanks for inspiring me.

Upvoted.

I have posted a funny blog about giraffes and a blog on tigers with pictures taken by me. If you are interested and have some free time, please do take a look. Your comments and encouragement is eagerly awaited. Thanks

your comment was good and i am happy that you feel inspired. Sometimes comments can earn more than a giraffe post.

Wow. I am overwhelmed. Thank you for your precious upvote. It makes me proud. It is true that a good comment can earn more than a giraffe post. That is the strength of Steemit platform and it is the nature of Steemians to encourage newcomers.

However, it is also inherent in Steemit platform that new, interesting and original topics that anyone is passionate about, can be freely shared. This is the reason that I dare to share my passion for wildlife & photography, adorned with some of my musings. I know I am not a great writer or photographer but I trust Steemit community to encourage people following their own passions. Thanks again Stellabelle. You rock!!

Remember, comments posted here (on Steemit) can be just as valuable in terms of content as the post because they provide the basis for discussion and communication on a given topic. That is what drives the community system here, that's what makes it more valuable than selfies and likes on other "websites".

I have met many great people here through secondary discussions in the comments.

PS: I had no idea you could tell the gender of a giraffe by the tufts of hair on their horns. I do now because of your post. Thank you.

I understand and appreciate your point. The lively discussion and diverse viewpoints really work to enrich my experience on Steemit. I have had basic exposure to other social media like Facebook and Whatsapp but they could never hold my interest. Steemit, on the other hand has taught me something every day and is able to fully engage my interest. The discussion that followed my post 'Solitude.. NOT Lonelines - A BOON - not a BANE' really demonstrated how powerful a medium Steemit is. Something that started as a chain of thought from one photo taken by me evolved into a full blown discussion with many people from different walks of life contributing their views and sharing their experience.
Thank you for your kind encouragement and words of advice.

smashing idea keep go for it.

the way you provide information and divide your post into paragraphs is the most thing that adds value to your work and that's why I follow you and like your posts

thanks, glad to hear the specific reason you follow me.

Damn, homie. How much have you made just by posting that image? This is like the fifth time I've seen this comment in less than a week...

Well I have creating that meme more than 14 hours so ... :D everything is deserved! Cheers!

Great improvements @stellabelle! I added my email to the coin-blockchain, too! It's only worth a dime right now, but I can't think of a better way to pay it forward! #Steemward and #upword! IMG_20170627_120407.jpg On the back of the note I wrote:

Awesome gift!!! Great idea!! Loving all the memes!!!! :)

Very cool idea!
I also love the old school white board blockchain you created as a tracking system :D

I am very excited to see how long the chain goes.................will it die? Will it make it to Africa?

That was actually my first thought - will one of these coins ever make it over here? :)
You could bring some to Steemfest! We could distribute them on the street, to outsiders :)

And by "over here" I of course mean Europe, not Africa... :)

it all depends on my government.

yeah, i want to do another coin drop here....it works well with friends...

We have friends across the 'pond' so hopefully ours will make their way there soon!! #getyourassonsteemit

hey anja, just caught up with this wonderfully mad #getyourassonsteemit
yes old school is good for having a break from the digital world. nice

Very nice and funny :D, here i made a little one for you ^^

It's a brilliant idea! I'm so happy to be a part of it and receive a coin! Thank you again so much!
