I can't hold all these tokens!

Yes, guys there is now and is going to be an explosion of Steem Engine tokens! Just today I received a fairly generous airdrop of LEO tokens, which is the token of the new Steemleo tribe. (steemleo.com). Naturally I do see this token as a good investment and staked them immediately, as well as purchasing about 25 LEOMM, the Leo mega-miners.
The Steem Leo tribe is a forum about investments, which is a fascinating topic for me, so I'll be reading and probably posting there from time to time.
Overwhelmed by tokens?
It's going to get crazy guys, I'm sure there are going to be dozens, if not hundreds of more tribe tokens appearing soon. Heck, even I'm contemplating starting my own tribe with a new Neoxian Silver (neoxag) token. Is this a good thing? Or is it too much?
Free market in action
It's a good thing. This is the free market at work. The very best run forums/tokens will rise to the top, and the lesser tokens/forums, made by those just trying to cash in on the hype will sink down. It's up to the investor to determine which one is which.
Miners miners miners!
I've got Pal miners, Eng miners, Weed miners, SCT miners and now Leo miners. Even with the SCT (https://www.steemcoinpan.com), it's a Korean forum, so I'll probably never curate or post there (I'm not Korean and don't speak the language), perhaps I can still cash in on Korean Moon magic by stocking up on the SCT Miners... now if only they would actually produce something...

Tagging is important again
You know, it's funny. One of the first things I did when I entered the world of Steem was try to flag posts that were not properly tagged. This quickly made me pretty unpopular, and eventually I gave up.
But now tagging actually matters again. And of course, there are a lot of thoughtless people just sprinkling every tag they can think of, in desperate hopes of gaining a fraction of a token.
Please tag your posts correctly
If you add the "spt" tag, your post better be about the "Splinterlands game", if you use "steemleo" then your post should be about investments. In some cases it's easy. Palnet is a general purpose forum, so you are free to use "palnet" on nearly everything. If you are not smart enough to tag your posts correctly, then I'll unfollow you at the very least, possibly flag you, and I'm sure the forum owners will flag you with a massive flagging account.
On a positive note
I'd like to end this post on a more positive note and just say I'm incredibly excited about all these new tribes and tokens. Invest wisely! There has never been a cooler time to be a Steemian!
