RE: Tokens and Tribes and FOMO
Took the words right out of my mouth. I can almost say the same thing. I have a lot of SP in comparison though and with roughly the same amount of CCC as you, it's like I'm handing out 100% votes at 50% power.
I've been trying to get more of the creative types I've met over the years involved. So many have left though. I'm being careful with my votes as well, looking for those posts with effort, looking for community builders; stakers instead of takers. It's far too soon for inexperienced members to dump but most don't understand the business side of things. Need to build a strong foundation first or the whole thing will just fall to the ground. So I'll spend a bit of money and take on the risk, try to help get the ball rolling. If it doesn't work, it doesn't work. I would have smoked that money anyway.
"If it doesn't work, it doesn't work" yeah there is really nothing to lose at this point when you are talking about about a few hundred Steem. On the main chain that few hundred Steem might as well be pissing in the wind, but right now that amount worth of CCC or another side token can give decent reward, and if there is even a chance it might continue to grow and build toward an actual community of creative types, actually creating and interacting and curating and being rewarded for same... then what the fuck is there to lose?
I know for a fact arts and entertainment does well anywhere else. Multi billion dollar industry. Just need some more arts and entertainers; plenty left, maybe they'll come back. Most won't work for pennies though so trying to get more buys than sells is important. Getting paid to be entertained is an easy sell and the place will need invested consumers in order to thrive. If it's just people earning and selling, it doesn't stand a chance.
