I agree with the tribes Steem is taking a backseat, you still need Steem Power to transact on the blockchain, but the tribes is where most newcomers will earn the most value and where they will stake the most, so this latest hardfork only means that new Steemians will focus even more on the tribes, since that is where they earn.

And CTP and CTPtalk is quite unique since it has a higher than usual amount of new Steemians, and that they mainly came here specifically due to this tribe, plus the very likely scenario that it will grow quite rapidly going forward, and mainly with newcomers, which will even reinforce the backseat position of Steem to tribe tokens even more.
