Allegedly every week or maybe every day a new tribe or token is founded, created, launched. At least that is what I have read in various posts. But nobody seems to know how many are already created. So, as a collector of the trading data of Steem-Engine, I made a little counting in my Excel table.
And the number is…
These tokens are mobilizing many Steemians and are dominating many topics and posts, forums and discussions, Discord channels ultimately. By my research, the number of these tokens was 438 on August 1, 2019. Only 364 on July 7, and 398 on July 20. Twenty percent growth in 26 days.
Or, 74 tokens in 25 days. Three tokens a day. Crazy. On Steem chain are created a similar number of tokens or even more a day than in all the crypto world. Coinmarketcap has 2413 coins and tokens listed at the moment, but that is a product of approximately 6 years.
(Click to view in higher resolution.)
Very well. I wish my wealth was growing so quickly, but the prices of the particular tokens are mostly falling. Many bloggers are supposing some concentration, clearing, purge will happen in the future. Less is sometimes more.
Categorized tokens?
Of course, many of the tokens are only experimental or just something for fun. Who wouldn’t issue a proper currency if he or she could do it? We all live only once. But I suppose Steem-Engine should make some classification. Distinguishing between serious community tokens and tribes, and experimental, individual, private, joke tokens.
There is nothing new in this, not even really my idea: Stock exchanges in the world mostly have two or three stock classes or categories. Like A, B, C, or Premium, Standard and Emerging. Or First, Second, Third, the name is not important. The quality they contain is. The data, the tokens could be analyzed better, investors would know in which category they are welcome.
Benefit of the trading volume
At the moment, you can find some orientation in the trading volume (here). I suppose the 20-30, maybe 30-50 most traded coins are more serious. Or, they are something we can call “publicly traded”. The others are not recommended. You can buy it but later may never be able to sell it again. Or only for a fraction of the price.

Tokens need a purpose. Otherwise they are pointless and will go to 0.

True @bluerobo
Very true. Purpose can create term demand. Right?
Cheers

It develops almost as a byproduct. Look at aggroed related tokens:
Some tribes are holding up rather well because they police tag abuse/farming. STEM, CCC and SteemLeo come to mind.
It's an interesting experiment to watch how the tribes will fare over time.

Hi @bluerobo
Thank you for your kind and prompt reply. Appreciate it a lot.
It surely is. I wonder what fans of decentralization and lack of censorship would think about tribes.
Yours, Piotr
Dear @deathcross
I'm very sorry for such a late comment. I bookmarked your post a while ago but I didn't really managed to read it through until now.
It's not very surprissing that so many new tokens and tribes are being launched, considering how well steem-engine has been done, how intuitive it is and the fact that it's very cheap to launch your own token.
So people do that, often just for fun and mostly to get some experience (which may be useful in the future, once SMTs will be released).
Any idea if buying/selling those tokens do have any impact on price of STEEM?
Current prices are not backed up by demand. So they can very rapidly go to zero.
That's an excellent idea. Are you perhaps in touch with anyone behind this project? Mostly Steemit Inc should learn about it.
Yours
Piotr
SE is still a prototype. I hope they will do some updates soon.
Like: charts, buy and sell prices, sowing actual amount and value of coins owned.
It's simple things but they have a big impact on the experience.
Indeed @bluerobo
I also miss the chance of seeing charts and some basic graphs.
In a newer post I proposed market-making activities.
Steem-Engine is treasuring the Steem people are depositing in exchange of other tokens. That reduces the inflationary effect but as the tokens itself have an inflation (I have read about 10-20 percent p. a.) In total I suppose some inflation effect must be exist.
I suppose another negative effect is that people are paying attention to tribes, curating and not Steem. Are trying to get more SE tokens than Steem.
Positive effect is many are more active than before.
Hi @deathcross
Thank you for your kind and prompt reply. Appreciate it a lot.
Another positive effect is the fact, that those tribes are creating so called "sinks" where they burn tokens.
Yours, Piotr
So, sinks are a perfect solution to solve the problem of tokens which wouldn't exist without the tokens. :)
Or, with other words: Why to make so much money if you must burn it after? Make less.
Unfortunately I'm late for the survey but I want to add my comment: I believe in the token of STEEM, PALNET, NEOXIAN, DEC, ORGANDUO, STEAMPEAK, CreativeCoin, MARLIANS and others for fun.
I guess this proliferation of tokens will give Steemit a little flavor and publicity. In addition to directing a better use or purpose for this blockchain platform.
:D
Thanks for sharing!
United we are strong, divided we are weak. I think too many tribes also can cause weakness.
The strongest and most trending will survive 😉
