Hello, Guys today I'm going to talk about ranking, We always been told that we are minnows and others are whales. Today, I am going to show you a very easy way to tell what level you are. Here, we learn the truth about Steemit rankings and the ability to have an impact on your single vote. Before we claim that we are Minnow, let's check first where this ranking came first or is it official. To learn what rank we are is the key to motivate us to do better. To accept the truth will make us grow.
Ranking
- Vests = Steem power
- Think of MVests = 1 million vests
- Vests are what determines your rank in the sea
How to check your Vests?

On the top-right you will see your vests.
How much is 1 Mvests at the moment?
- Using the Vests Calculator at
http://www.steemdollar.com/vests.php - 1 MVests = 488.6 Steem tokens
- 488.6 Steem = $2,947 USD at the moment
Plankton
Plankton is considered the lowest rank in Steemit. They are likely someone who just joined Steemit. When I first joined Steemit, I thought I was a minnow but the fact was I was nothing near a minnow but a plankton! 99% of the planktons on Steemit do not know that they are planktons. You need 1 Million Vests to become a minnow.
How to evolve from Plankton to a Minnow?
- Create good quality content and earn rewards.
- Invest by buying STEEM and power up to Steem power
- Curate Content and earn rewards.
Minnow
Minnows are often described as the small fish on Steemit. They are users with a small amount of Steem power. One of their votes may add less than a cent to your account. Even though minnows are new with low voting power, they are still important. Thousands of minnows can combine to create the power of the whale.
Dolphin
Dolphins are people with 10 million vests. They are users with a medium amount invested in the platform. One of their votes can add a few cents or a dollar to your account. Dolphins are well established and potentially become an orca or a whale someday. Dolphins earn curation rewards by voting on posts that will become popular and that will be voted on by the Whales so they want to move in and vote before the Whales come in.
Orca
An Orca is a user who is big enough to qualify as a big whale but has less Steem power than the bigger whale. Orcas are people with 100 million vests. A single vote by an Orca can put ten to twenty dollars to your payout.
Whale
Whales are known as the king of the sea. Whales are people with 1,000 million vests and up. A single vote by a whale can put hundreds of dollars in people's account instantly. Whales have the biggest influence on posts. Their votes have a big effect on which posts get attention and which posts make the most money.
Steemit is like an ocean, diverse and colorful. Steem power is not the only power you have, you have so much more to offer, you are unique, there is room for all of us in Steemit. Over time, the successful content creators will rise to the top and become the whales. Good luck guys!
