无论是Steemit上的FAQ（Frequently Asked Questions 常见问题），还是cnsteem上的《新人指南》，我都没有找到关于Steemit上小鱼、大鱼划分的标准。我便在网上搜索英语原文，幸运的是，找到了前辈 @techblogger四个月前发表的一篇帖子“Whales, Minnows, Dolphins and How to Increase Your Steemit Followers! ” 对此有详细的介绍，想必还有许多像我这样的小鱼对此还不是很清楚，现将前辈的这篇帖子摘译如下，供小鱼们参考。
在此，特向前辈@techblogger表示感谢。
Steemit上的用户分为三类：小鱼（Minnows）、海豚（Dolphins）和鲸鱼（Whales）。
小鱼（Minnows）通常指Steemit上级别最低的新用户。他们来Steemit是为了寻找机会，一般没有太多的钱投资到该网站上。拥有$10，$20，甚至$100-$500 的SP （Steem Power），即使他们点赞一次为0.5SBD，他们仍被称之为小鱼。
尽管小鱼新来乍到，投票能量（voting power）也很低，但他们仍然很重要。成千上万条小鱼组合起来足以能够形成一条大鲸鱼的力量。小鱼是Steemit上不息的心跳，是有生力量，所以尽量与他们建立个人关系，同他们一起把Steemit变成一个令人向往之地。
海豚（Dolphins）指的是在Steemit平台上有较大投资者。多数情况是，称一个人为海豚（Dolphin），指的是他（她）拥有$1000 以上的SP （Steem Power）。由于这项投资，他们投一票通常会有几美分。
海豚具有如此强大的投票权，它通常会引起人们对帖子的注意，激励其他人投票，给帖子内容带来积极效果。他们甚至可以给一个博客帖子10美分，而不过是为了行使一下投票权。海豚们在Steemit上通常具有良好的声誉，他们有可能在某一天成为鲸鱼，因为他们能够通过他们的投票权激发动力。
鲸鱼（Whales）能够决定谁的帖子会进入到热门（hot）和流行（trending）行列。如果一条鲸鱼为你点赞，不会引不起你的注意，因为他们的一次点赞会值几美元。如想使你的帖子进入“推荐（Recommended）、热门（hot）和流行（trending）”行列，你就得需要这些大咖们的帮助了。通常大多数鲸鱼具有50,000以上的SP，具有100,000 SP甚至1,000,000 SP，也不足为奇。
附@techblogger 前辈的原文
What types of users are there on Steemit?
The Three Types of Steemit Users
Minnows
Minnow is a term often used to describe the smallest and newest users on Steemit. They have come to Steemit looking for opportunity and don’t usually have very much money invested in the site, it’s possible to still be a minnow with $10, $20, or maybe even $100-$500 of Steem Power, even if their upvote is .5 SBD per click, they are still considered a minnow.
Even though minnows are beginners with very low voting power, they are still very important. Thousands of minnows can combine to create the power of a huge whale. Minnows are the beating heart of Steemit so try to build personal relationships with them and work with them to make Steemit a better place.
Dolphins
Dolphins are users who have invested heavily into the Steemit platform. Most typically, labelling someone a dolphin means they have over one thousand Steem Power. Because of this investment, they are normally able (to) give a couple of cents to content with one single vote.
Because dolphins have such powerful votes, it normally brings attention to posts and motivates others to vote, bringing momentum to content. They might even be able to give a blog post 10 cents just for their vote. Dolphins are usually well established on Steemit and they have potential to someday become whales because of their ability to create momentum through their voting power.
Whales
Whales decide whose content makes it into the hot and trending categories. If a whale upvotes you, it’s hard not to notice because their upvote can be worth several dollars. If you want to make it into the “Recommended, Hot, Trending” categories, you’ll need some help from these guys! Most whales typically have upwards of 50,000 Steam Power and it’s not unusual to have 100,000 Steam Power or even 1,000,000 Steam Power.
