Regarding the tribe tokens, I hear ya! I try to stake as many tokens as I can for Photostreem, Creativecoin, and PALnet. I have some tokens for other tribes as well, but those three are the ones I concentrate the most on. After the recent hardforks, my voting power seems to have a lot less effectiveness, especially when I vote on content that has a low reward. My curation rewards have increased though, so I'm not complaining about that.
If your main goal is to be a curator, then it makes sense to stake several different coins, especially the ones that will have a greater effect on the kinds of posts you're going to be curating.
Anyhow, have a happy Caturday and a nice weekend. :-)
I'm not sure yet how it's all going to work out, but I feel hopeful that some of the tribal tokens will serve us well in the longer term, perhaps moreso than Steem proper.
I plan to be curating more, particularly in the CreativeCoin tribe, which is also where I have the largest stake.
Happy Caturday!
