What's sport for you ? - Should I comeback to sportstalksocial ?
The video is really awesome with cool music and my vision about sport !
You can answer my first question directly in the comments, but if you are interested in the second question, read the post !
I'm thinking to comeback to sportstalksocial and to start creating about sport again !
Sportstalksocial is of community created on steem related to sport. In fact it's called a tribe and they have a token built on steem-engine.com !
I'm explaining that to those who are not so familiar with tribes, or those who didn't join steem, because I'm promoting my posts in social media.
The video was posted before in the tribe using dtube, but now it's with an other thumbnail and other description.
When tribes were created I was excited about them and I spent 500 hard earned steem to buy the sport token and I remember the price of the token was about $0.0006 and that brought me about 160 K tokens and my upvote was about 3000 sport tokens. Then I noticed the price going down, and my upvote with it as well. I thought the tribes will have an other system and it will be more profitable to stake there, but seeing my upvote going from 3000 to 2000 and later even less make me worry about my stake. Of course maybe those 500 steem is not a lot of money for some people, but I did put in them a lot of energy and time what costed me even more and that's a part of my life.
After that I decided just to unstake everything and stop creating about sport because I wanted my vote to grow. When I joined I felt like a whale, what I will never feel in steem for sure because I will never became one. But @threespeak when they allwed me to upvote with their stake made me feel like a whale, but this month for some reason I wasn't able to do that. I was moved from top 4 to 38 and now the leaderboard is updating. So, I hope to be there again. But, at least I'm now a curator in @tipu and I can give upto $5 a day worth of upvotes and that make me happy about the time I spent in steem.
Moving to sportstalksocial, I noticed that unstaking the token take not only 3 months like in steem, but it may take a year depending on the number of the transactions and the time between them. I already unstaked a bit during a few months, but I still have to wait 7 transactions seeing the price keep going down. So, every transaction is bringing me only about a dollar or two what's really surprising for me while I invested about $80 in that stake. Is that mean that I will get back only about $10 in the end ?
Anyway, I don't want to create drama or something. I just wonder if I just have to stop unstaking and comeback to the platform. I hope you accept constructive criticism. The tokens are still staked in @dcooperation and I can just delegate them to myself or just to move them to @clixmoney with every transactions and staking everything in it !
The thing I want now is activity. I want more views for my videos and more comments when I create them. Because it consume time to create a video and only comments can motivate me to be always creatiative. I'm ready to keep reviwing movies about sport like I was doing before. I'm ready to use actifit again and be more sportive and share pictures from my city. I'm ready to create interesting contests like I did before. I'm ready to support as much steemians as I can with my stake.
For example the thing I worried about in that time is the trending page. When my upvote went down and I stoped staking the coin, my posts stoped to hit the trending page even when I didn't change anything. But those who staked more than me started to hit the trending more and more. Till now I see the same people in trending and I'm glad that I see some new ones. I think they improved something.
Also, I was seeing a lot of actifit posts in trending, without any editing, without any pictures and that was too spammy in those days. Imagine a trending page full with almost the same picture and all that's is different is the number of steps or moves. I'm glad that's imporoved now. It seems that they are working hard to fight that. The trending now is more clean !
I know also so many steemians who joined the tribe and still active in it. But, still thinking why I should comeback !

That's amazing video !!
Thanks a lot. ☺
All of those tokens like sports and leo are dropping fast. If you want tribes/communities to be a success, you need active people but there are too few. So Steem Engine tokens are mostly worthless.
Yeah, I also wonder why they are dropping so fast. If we have them just to have a community and to have some fun it's ok. But our goal is to see some growth. I hope that will not happen with SMTs as well.
if there is no business model behind the token, they will always be worthless
Yeah. The business model is very important. Every aspect in it is importnat.
To me sports has a pretty wide net that I cast over anyone who competes with another. That leaves a lot of interpretation but if two, or more, people are competing against one another then I give it the benefit of the doubt it has a level of sport to it.
To answer the second question I would also love to see you make more sporting content! :) That's actually the motivation behind the #SportsTalk tribe. I wanted something to encourage the creation and organization of sporting content on Steem in an easy to find area. That's why each tag on the left side of corresponds to a sport and league. If you click a league the list will update to have a list of leagues or teams below it so you can find content just about what you have interest in.
SPORTS has a unique proposition in my opinion that is similar to elements of Steem. It's essentially a token to determine a user's influence within a community based on the number of tokens they have staked to their account in relation to the general population of staked token holders. This creates a situation where if you value influence on the community then the token will presumably hold a value to you. That will be a personal decision for each person.
That's only for deciding if you want to retain the tokens you earn from creating sports content though. My personal belief is that the decision to create sporting content should instead come if that's what you're interested in. If you have interest in sharing sports stories, stats, etc then I truly hope you'll share with us. The tokens you earn will come as liquid tokens you can immediately sell without waiting for an unstake. You'll receive those 7 days after your post has cleared and consensus has been reached. That hopefully helps ease the mind to knowing that anything you create you can move out of the community if you so desire as quick as you'd like. Some just think of SPORTS as an added bonus to their Steem earnings.
So far there have been those who continue to value the influence that comes with holding the staked tokens. That being said we do add about 1 billion SPORTS tokens to circulation each year so there's lots of downward pressure for the market price of the token to compete with. It's been my belief that this puts a constant reinforcement for those who value community influence to create and curate content they find valuable to maintain their community rank vs passively being a part of the community. The goal then is that only the most vested will continue to hold influence and thus will value finding and creating the best content.
If we are promoting the platform, we would like to see the price grow. If it's dropping so fast, people will have to stake again and again to go somewhere. There a moment when people will stop staking, they can't stake forever. If people will not see the value in staking the price will keep dropping. You have to change the game a bit. Why I see the same people again and again in trending, just like in steemit. We moved to tribes not to see that. The trending should be related to more sportive content, not to most staked accounts. Or those who are staking should earn from their posts limited amount of tokens. That's what's creating inflation. I understand that most crypto now are moving to proof of stake, but it's too much now to see that everywhere ! You are not stake machines. lol
I think it will remain focused towards sports content over time. It's still very early days for the distribution to settle in to hands so I guess we'll see where the tribe falls in to place but I'm very confident.
Stakeholders are encouraged to vote with the majority of holders for quality content and not just for themselves. If they are using their voting power just to empower themselves then they will be potentially forcing an opportunity cost by not voting for content that the community finds more valuable and is voting for.
I will keep watching the trending page and I hope to see more change in it, like a lot are. Stakeholders should care more about bringing newcomers, but not about upvoting themselves or thier circle. Talking about a community, every single one in the community should be important, not only a few staked. Quality and hard work should be rewarded. People still don't understand the proof of stake, or they don't want it at all. We are all running from real life because of that. Sorry of course for telling all this to you, but I'm emotional now because someone in steem with big stake attacked m by flaggs. It may has nothing to do with your tribe. I will keep posting in it and stake what I can and consider it just a place where my content can be supported by comments and views to be in the top in 3speak and to be able to give good upvotes for people I onboard to steem or motivate to promote it.
I wish all the best for the tribe !
