Do you live in a town or a village? Very probably. But even if you like it, if you never wanted to move to another place, you may want to see other towns, cities, villages, and also woods, deserts. Even more you should see them if you are flexible and the other towns nearby have better conditions to live, to work or to study.

The ostrich similitude

You can’t “hide your head in the sand like ostriches”. Never recommended living a full life. So, I hope you understand I’m not speaking against Steem and its applications, and not wanting to send anybody away from here. I’m only trying to make educative and interesting researches, see examples. (Although, in reality, I have read ostriches don’t hide their heads in the sand. They are only searching for food on the ground, or in the soil. But let’s forget these funny birds.)

Now, let’s see Trybe, one of the relatively new applications on EOS blockchain, launched this year. The first surprising thing is, they use the same or almost the same light green in their logo as Steemit does. Why? No idea. But a good point: registering and entering was a piece of cake, a matter of 3 minutes.

Getting paid

What is Trybe? By their homepage, “a place to share your knowledge, connect with other people who have the same interests as you, and earn TRYBE tokens at the same time!” The same concept as by Steem: Make your content, share it and get paid.

Entering, we see a news feed, but not very full. In the section “newest articles”, posts appear only every couple of hours. Maybe 15-20 a day, at best. Not even near to be exciting for me. But a very positive and promising service is that you can filter your news feed by topics like Gaming, Travel, Business, Blockchain & Cryptocurrencies, etc. Even better, there are also sub-categories like for example Wallets, Mining, Trading, etc. in case of cryptos.

Finally, a good filter? No

That is something that I’m terribly, desperately missing from Steem systems. (No more Actifit cards or Steem Monster reports, ugly cats and suspicious food in my face, please.) But Trybe is very slow sometimes, yes, much slower than Steemit refreshing your news feed. (If you select new topics. I think you must check the checkboxes one by one, waiting for a refresh after each other.)

The list of the "most popular articles" is very strange. Maybe it is only not refreshed.

Oh, no, I refreshed the browser page and it has forgotten all my topics checked before. Leave me alone, then. That was it, Trybe. I suppose that is the real problem of Trybe: almost no users, almost no content. Seems to be a ghost town, without population. I must see Voice, maybe the EOS-people are there.

The damn market…

I could finish my research here, but I’m obsessed with market prices and charts. So, first, I wanted to draw a chart about the price of the “TRYBE token” but I couldn't. The market is practically non-existent. In the last 24 hours, the volume was only 314 dollars.

The price of the token – not listed on Coinmarketcap.com, nor Coinranking.com – fell to 0.000844 USD, from 0.0031 USD on March 30, 2019. (Down 73 percent. Although, I found only end-of-the-day prices, which can be easily manipulated. Without public min-max values, the picture is not clear.)

Good video, bad video

They also gifted me 125 TRYBE tokens for registering. (Approximately 10.55 cents.) But thanks for nothing. Because:

You must have at least 5000 tokens to request a withdrawal. The minimum withdrawal per day is 500 and the maximum is 1000.

I think I spent too much time with the Trybe-project. If you want to know more, I found two videos, one “Trybe-positive” by the same creators, the other, speaking against the Trybe system:

Please, answer my dPoll about Steem competitors or at least comment it
