The Time For Creating a New Tribe Is Now

It was @leofinance that showed me the light. When I was creating The Man Cave I absolutely didn't want to create a tribe at all. A strict NO from me whenever anyone brought up the idea of creating a tribe for our community.

I just couldn't see the benefits -- they gave you a standard front end, people blogged, and then they were paid for it. Why use that when you could just create a community on Hive? Just because it's there doesn't mean you have to use it. I could see no benefit to creating a community coin that Hive couldn't provide us.

That was until Leofinance changed their front end. I'll admit, I didn't even think this was possible being the non-coder that I am. I thought you had to play with the cards that you were given and that was it. And that's why I wasn't willing to take the leap from token to tribe. I couldn't see anything different that could be done with it. Tribes up until that point were done to death. I am always one for building unique stuff. I don't try and be one of the crowd. I try to lead crowds.

Anyway, after their front end was built and a series of developments started coming in every month my mind started playing with the suggestion that we should probably take that route. But men aren't a talkative sort, and no-one really wants to talk about men. Apart from the Africans, you guys in Africa really appreciate your men-folk so kudos to you guys. But I couldn't really release something that was just aimed at one demographic, that wouldn't be exactly fair, or profitable. So, I put the idea on hold for a while.

That was until @taskmaster4450 came to me with the idea that we should create our own tribe. I mean I was already thinking about it but we had to think of something completely different, and, would have to be so that everyone can take part if they wanted to. It was a bit of a conundrum because we already know that general tribes have a hard time dealing with all the content we get, and being niche was the way to go. But everyone and niche doesn't fit. So it was a bit of a brain tickler.

That was until we thought up movies and TV. What a great idea. Everyone can have a go if they want to because almost everyone that uses the internet has watched some for of movies and TV. Boom, there we go. And we begun creating the tribe, whilst keeping BRO holders firmly in the back of our minds!

The time is now if you want to be some sort of leader. If you've always wanted to start a community and reward them, then the time is now. It is roughly 5 Grand to start up a tribe but it's going to be a lot lot more in the future. If you think the price is high now -- then I am warning you. It's going to be much higher as more censorship takes hold and more creators are given the boot from centralised media.

Imagine if say Alex Jones found the value of what we're creating here? Of course we all might not agree with him but imagine if he signalled to his followers that he wanted to make a play on our platform? Boom! Hive would explode overnight. Those millions of coins on the market would be no more. Of course Alex Jones isn't likely to come here but we will see more than our fair share of individual creators that find value in our system. We only need a few to create traction. Only a few, remember that.

And I honestly feel that popular voices and thoughts like mine will be drowned out into the ether as more people come here and build rather striking opportunities for their friends, families, and even followers. I am no revolutionary by any means, there are people doing the same things I do all over the world. That is why I am staking my claim and growing big before the likes of RackaRacka come here. I'm just not that talented.

And they are coming. You bet they are. Individually, one by one, as YouTube gradually becomes a tool for corporate media they will be looking to hedge their bets on which platform is better -- and quite literally, we are the gift that keeps on giving. Not only can you freely distribute your media but you can earn from it too. Not happy with just that? Then your followers can earn from it as well. How mental is that?

You think about it. I watch YouTube streams where people are dropping hundred dollar bills to reward their favourite creators. Imagine if they didn't need to do that? Imagine if all they needed to do was buy hive and convert it into their tribe of choice and reward them that way?

Yup. An all new tangent is entering the sphere and it won't be long until everyone wants a piece of this place and you, me, and everyone else here, right now, are in prime position! Honestly. The time is now!

First it was developers that made all the money. Now it's the artists time to shine. They are coming. And it will blow you the hell away.
