RE: STEMGeeks: The Next Tribe With Huge Potential

Thanks for the post about STEMGeeks.

I really think STEMGeeks has the strongest tokenomics out of all the tribes with only 7.52% inflation, massive burning (currently over 30% of weekly rewards), and only ~815K STEM tokens created yearly.

Compare these numbers to other tribes with 18-19% inflation and around ~2,000,000 tokens created yearly.

Next year the inflation will drop 0.8% reducing ongoing supply significantly.

When I set the tribe up, I wanted to prevent massive amounts of tokens being thrown everywhere. I also wanted to keep the community strongly moderated so tokens go to legitimate authors and not spammers and shoehorn posts.

I want to be clear about our moderation though, STEMGeeks is not a strict community, you don't have to be a journalist or academic professor to contribute, we welcome hobbyists and amateurs, we just want content on topic with STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math). We are also a different community from STEMSocial and have different goals.

I recently wrote a post showing how well curators are doing on STEMGeeks, I knew it would be high but even I was blown away.

There is considering switching to linear curation which will reduce the high end but will likely bring the majority of the community up. I still feel with linear curation most people will be making more than Hive and most any other community due to the focused nature of the community.

I'd be happy to answer any questions anyone has about the community or token. Feel free to hit me up here, Discord, or Keybase.

I am also working on the second STEMGeeks Hackathon, the first one raised over $4,000 USD worth of Hive and I plan go bigger this time around. I also plan to expand the reach far outside of Hive.
