How To Not Lose Your Mind In The Steem-Engine Economy
It's an exciting time on the Steem blockchain!
Development is everywhere. Projects are being launched. Communities are being built...And some of the most intriguing potential is coming from the Steem-Engine platform...
Wow, what a few months it's been!
Since Steem-Engine launched ScotBot, ScotTube and the vision of what SMT's could become...The blockchain has been alive with the sweet sound of...Hope!
And while we're seeing huge successes like PalNet, SteemLeo and SteemCoinPan...It can get a little confusing to the everyday user of Steem...That now sees dozens of new front end condensers to interact with each unique community AND the Steem blockchain.
Remember when it was simple...Steemit, Busy and Steempeak....
Now it seems like every day, we're being introduced to a new community with it's own token...
And that's exactly what Steem and SMT's were designed to become...
However, like I mentioned...It gets SUPER confusing to the new Steemian looking to keep up with all the development taking place.
Here's my advice for jumping into all the different communities and potential 'earning' on each token...
FOCUS!
If you spend any amount of time on Steem, you'll see hashtags that are trying to cater to every single community out there...
For anyone that's keeping score...That's tagging the PalNet community. And we have the SteemCoinPan community. Let's not forget the Sports Talk Social group...And finally, for good measure...Let's knock it out of the park with the Steem Leo community.
So we've come to the point where Steemians feel the need to tag every community out there...
I get it, it's exciting! These new tokens seem to pop up on Steem-Engine and almost immediately have value. However we are going to burn ourselves out trying to keep up with everything...Plus the fact that there are already accounts out there looking to control the abuse some people have been doing when it comes to these hashtags....
So again my advice...Is to focus!
Find a few communities that you believe in and see value, then start contributing to them. Join their Discords and get involved...Use the hashtags that you UNDERSTAND instead of just throwing tags out there for the sake of it.
For me, I try to stick to what I know and understand;
I see the big value in PalNet, this is the definition of community on Steem.
There is MASSIVE potential in Steem Leo and we are all 'investors' when it comes to Steem in my opinion.
And when it comes to Sports Talk Social...I have plenty of rants on @The-Sports-Nerd's Sunday night talk show.
Other than that....I don't understand SCT, so I don't have any FOMO for not tagging it. ( Plus I think my Korean language skills are severely lacking...) I'm not yet addicted to Splinterlands, but that's coming and I'm sure I will start using SPT in my tags when the time is right...
Because at the end of the day, I'm not trying to go over board. I'm focusing on what I KNOW...And that's the critical part to this message.
You will get so much more when you FOCUS on a few communities and stop trying to be a jack of all trades. We've got PLENTY of time to learn each community...But for now, focus on a few...Don't worry about tagging them all everyday.
I hope this helps...Because BOY OH BOY....We're on the cusp of changing everything when it comes to the blockchain. It's a very exciting time to be here :)

That introduction of the steem.engine has really helped to realise the dead hope of many to resurrecting it
It really has...Put brand new life into Steem and I can't wait to see what the future holds.
Yes, this is good advice. Just like in real life one can only participate in a limited number of communities. Also a posts content needs to be relevant to the community tagged, otherwise it risks flags.

Yes this is really COOL details for the STEEM engine. Let's see how prolle is accepting it. ☺️👍

It's doing pretty well right now, plenty of potential and some great communities developing.
Some nice tips here, that start to be really hard...
Oh no doubt...Good to see all these communities taking shape, but it can be confusing for many....Go slow, focus on a few...Don't get overwhelmed
STEEM-Engine DEX is a game changer for our Blockchain
Man...Is it ever. I think if this is just a taste of what's to come with SMT's...We're going to see $7.77 Steem a lot sooner than we expect :)
Let’s together make it $7.77 $STEEM happen this year
177 Days left and every minute count
Just looking at your not yet staked LEO's, @nathanmars , and wondering "WHY?"
I been focusing on PushBook Startup and Building STEEMArmy on Twitter
Thanks a million for letting me know
I've staked my LEO now :)
I am staking every token I get... no matter what... =) Just don't have time to sell them LOL (yes what an excuse!... but true).
What's MINE it's mine!
Time >> Money
People >> Token
My philosophy is
I invest in myself
I invest in people
The best part is that if I get an upvote on this comment, I would probably earn STEEM, PAL and LEO at the same time. Great tips @jongolson. It actually gets better with time and focus. Cheers!
Absolutely...That's what blows my mind of how this eco-system and entire blockchain will grow...We are just at the beginning of this stuff...It's crazy to imagine where we will be in a few years from now.
Having you on board Steemleo is a game changer! You do an amazing job making the blockchain accessible to anyone and everyone and you are one of the most engaged Steemians out there. Keep up the good work and we hope to see more of your amazing investment content on #steemleo!
appreciate that very much. and absolutely love this community you guys are building. it’s exactly what people need...investment talk for the rest of us lol cause dollar cost averaging is all i know lolol

Thank you :) haha the funny thing is that knowing dollar cost averaging puts you ahead of at least 80% of the average investors out there 🧡
I just like simple...I do the index investing too because I can understand it. LOL Anything too complicated and I turn into a turtle and hide in my shell LOL
so what? You know one of the major rules our there.
And these communities are or will likely compete against one another based on the value of it’s own token.

could be. i think the community individually will drive the price. pal and leo are two different communities with passionate steemians in both.

Thanks, but I am still pretty confused on how Palnet is adding to the community mostly for individuals that did not get any pal tokens, there isn't even a search function in Palnet. One more that could be confusing is the new DTube 0.9 you can log in or out of Steem and some videos only appear there not on steem, don't get me wrong I love it but the rules are different than in Steem. A full explanation video would be awesomeeeee.

ya dtube is a little confusing but once people understand the different communities and how to be active in the ones that attract them , it’ll get easier. good idea on the video too. i’ll see what i can do :)

@jongolson, You are absolutely right brother. Focus is vital when so much is happening and most importantly we should understand the projects at first place to understand the use case and inturn we can evaluate the value. But it's exciting for sure. Stay blessed.

for sure. and it allows us to get more familiar with each community . that helps everyone in my opinion.

True. Without putting efforts in engagement, conversations and interaction we will not going to receive any clarity.
