Niche vs General: Tribe Thoughts
![burningLeo.png](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmVrYnv4RRQDguUUDsxSBrC53GHUxDFTrmiS7GBEViWhPw/burningLeo.png)

Something I'd been wondering ever since tribes were launched was, between the tribes that were more niche(LEO,STEM, etc) and the ones that are more general(PAL, NEOXIAN,) which ones would perform better financially over time.

My initial thoughts were that the niche ones would do better and at least in the case of LEO that seems to be the case. Almost all the tribe tokens are down and you can check their progress with a tool in their discord that produces charts with a command.

https://discord.gg/w7v392

To get a chart for a specific coin you just type "^chart (the coin)" so for example if you wanted a chart for CCC you'd type ^chart CCC 

Anyway, the reason I figured the niche's would do better is because they'll inflate slower since fewer rewards will be going out. When everyone is using a tag and everyone has a bit of a token staked, it's constantly getting distributed. Some will stake, some will sell as usual, but without some sort of positive cash flow coming into the economy it will just get continuously devalued.

I like the idea of having an ad program so I think that's a welcome feature that can offset this.

Overall I think the tribes experiment is an interesting one and I do think the idea of community ownership is one that has legs. I just think that owners will have more of a challenge than you typically would when starting for example a Facebook group. There the only concern is growing the community, but I think with a tribe you also have to think hard about the economics of your community because if your token isn't worth anything, even if people are interested in the content, they'll be less inclined to participate.

That's the whole thing with Steem that I feel changes the dynamic in the social media aspect. You can't ignore that there are a blend of incentives when you toss in a financial one.

I'm looking hard at LEO right now since it's been able to find a decent balance it seems. The tokens associated with Steem Monsters are doing really well, and I think that makes complete sense because they have a use case. It will be interesting to see who adapts and is able to figure out a way to succeed.

Are you all really into any tribes or have you gotten a bit jaded from the prices? I still feel like there's nothing stopping even the worst performers from turning things around, they just have to start addressing the issues of their particular community.

I made some LEO fan art for this post. Feel free to use it if it helps you with yours.

Nice job on the logo, Still a little bit early to tell about some of the tribes and tokens. Right now the only token I am sort-of semi keeping up with is the !BEER token, I like being able to pass out sips in comments to comment or to post.

Yea BEER seems pretty fun, it doesn't have to be some crazy business plan, sometimes just making something people can have fun with works.

It's ironic that Steemleo would be growing since that is the one tribe that I did not invest in when they airdropped. I hardly ever post about investing or cryptocurrency so I staked my portion but did not buy any additional tokens. I invested in tokens that related to my lifestyle or activities since that is what I write about the majority of the time.  Even though the prices are low in the other tribes, I haven't sold any yet because they are worth pennies right now. I'll just chill for the time being to see if they ever grow. Thanks for the tip.

That logo is class and should e used everywhere.

I think the tribes will let use case be the decider. Leo has a vision, plan and community to grow. That and a strong burn of the tokens to keep the value high. Some of the other tribes are there but have no real purpose or plan so can't see them lasting the distance.

I feel the same way, but I think they have time to find a path forward. The good thing is unlike a traditional business, these things can lose value but they will still be there and can always be revived.

Your screenie tells me you also need to do a blue fire version because blue fire XD

I seem to have accidentally ended up with a whole pile of stuff (some because I'm a comment spattercannon, most just randomly landed on my head), the only ones I'm actually interested in are ccc and pal.

You already know my opinion on prices ;D

Haha, yea that's the viewport preview shader. I've always loved that about that plugin, the viewport preview looks really cool in and of itself.
