Its relatively cheap to become a dolphin in many of these tribes.

Im well on my way in Marlians. I got $50 steem, and started buying them little by little.

I need less than 1000 and my buy order is already in.

I have been spending half and staking half for most of these projects but something made me want to buy into Marlians $50STEEM has taken me far (it also helps that I have already gotten a few payouts and was gifted a stake).
