This week has been interesting to say the least as I Celebrate my 19th week on Steemit. With so much going on it's getting hard to keep track of things. Live events here, token sharedrops there, contests everywhere - opportunities to grow and expand your crypto-portfolio are everywhere if you keep your eyes and ears open. 

**STEALTH** Tokens from @agorise, **STRANGE** Tokens from @strangerarray, and **WHALESHARE** Tokens from @krazykrista and @freedomexists were all made available in abundance this week through various opportunities.

If you need some clues as to where to look for these *hidden gems* just swing by the 🐳 **Whaleshares Discord** and ask the friendly Admins and Mods. We are very open to share the opportunities we find with others - *it's what we do*.

<h3>BeyondBitcoin/Whaleshares Community</h3>
