I'm a MINNOW!!!

@epodcaster is a Minnow!.png

Y'all when I received the notification from @hivebuzz yesterday that I was now a Minnow, I gasped and shouted out, "I'M A MINNOW!"

I then ran to my youngest son to tell him the news and he told me, "Congratulations, Mom!"

I kept saying, "I'M A MINNOW!" out loud because I was both surprised and delighted by the news. Anyone outside of Hive would think I'm nuts to be so happy, but IYKYK.

Then I told my oldest son and he looked at me puzzled until I said, "I'm not a Red Fish anymore." To which he replied, "Oh, that's great, Mom. Congrats!" Because he also knows.

Then I took a photo of my new badge and sent a text to my friend @shainemata who has been our family's guide throughout this Hive adventure. He replied with, "Woohoo"

So, why am I sharing this with you? Other than to share in my joyous celebration worthy milestone?

Being a creator on Hive is so much better with a family, friends, and the community we build on Hive. The world outside of Hive has no understanding of what a big milestone this is for me. But I have a community of people (you) who do understand.

I have found such value in the wonderful world of Hive. It's easy to evangelize what Hive has to offer creators. It's been a grand adventure so far. I thank you all for being part of my journey. I also thank you for allowing me to be part of yours.

I don't know about you, but I'm ready for more adventuring. After all...I'm a Minnow!!!

Congratulations! You may know that I have been running a project to help boost people up to minnow status. The aim was to get to 10,000 of them, but we still have over a 1000 to go. I think having more stake in Hive makes people feel more engaged. The badges are a fun addition.

Onwards to dolphin!

It was a thrilling moment indeed. I'm still figuring out how all the plankton to red fish to minnow to dolphin to orca to whale works. In the meantime, I am having a grand old time crating content and engaging with the wonderful global community that makes up Hive.

Plankton and red fish are the same thing, just some people use one term and some the other. It's really based on VESTS, which you can see at hive-buzz, rather than HP, which is why the Hive Power necessary to have the right amount of VESTS to change rank changes with time. I don't remember what each rank's number of VESTS is off the cuff, but I'm sure there's a post around here somewhere that has it. I just know it's gonna be a looooooooooong way for me to reach orca! ;)

Ah, got it. Still learning terminology and how things work. Which is part of what makes Hive a great learning environment.

Thank you! I've spent years and years on traditional social media. None of it was as fun and rewarding as my experience on Hive.
