I get lost with the whole Whale, Orca, Dolphin, Minnow, Redfish etc whatever I have no idea what is required.
I do know that engaging and curating is a winner.
You mentioned Sports and me yes my surprise token that all started back when we got into this crypto with Steem/Hive thing and @ericburgoyne and @thesportsnerd Eric and Scott started posting in Sports and I received some rewards for engaging there.
Well I like Sports and I found a few niches there to get into and 2 and half years later I found myself inside the top 10 token holders.
Go figure it surprised me but once again it shows perseverance has it's rewards and I can give good rewards there.
Shows it can be done by anyone as long as they stick to it.
P.S. I still say no way to 10,000 CTPM lets just stick to encouraging others to get to 10,000 CTP and beyond that is an easier target.
