I am pleased to announce the launch of the new tribe that I have been working on:
Dunk social
This will be a basketball focused tribe here on Hive with content from leagues all around the world!
The Goals:
- Provide a tokenized community for basketball fans around the world to engage on and generate value from their knowledge and opinions using a mainly proof of brain model of distribution.
- Provide a space for basketball related debate, betting advice, contests, interviews, and more.
- Onboard people into the Hive community that are not necessarily knowledgeable on cryptocurrency.
- Create a token that is spendable on popular basketball-related sites and video games.
- Provide a place to post and discuss highlight videos from basketball games via 3speak integration
The Users
Users of this platform will come from all over the world and the barriers to entry will be nonexistent. Anyone who knows about or would like to learn about the sport of basketball is invited to participate in whatever way they see fit.
This platform will be publicizing a lot of documentation that aims to simplify and explain the onboarding process to Hive. There will be a large focus on transparency in that documentation to allow for easy replication of the tribe building process.
This platform will seek to be a model for bringing users into the Hive community.
The Inspiration
This tribe was inspired from conversations with @taskmaster4450le regarding a lack of space to express basketball opinions in a niche way here on Hive. While he was thinking the platform would be more successful as an individual team's blogging space, I did not want to limit the topical focus of the prospective audience.
The tags on the platform will have the option of being focused on a singular basketball team, but also the option of posting to a general feed of basketball-related content
The Roadmap
June 2021: The launch of the platform. There will be an airdrop to existing members of the community that have supported my journey thus far; details for this will be announced by May 24th.
July 2021- October 2021: Run numerous marketing campaigns via Twitter and in personal social networks in order to maximize engagement ahead of the 2021-2022 NBA season. During this time we expect continuous growth in network engagement and content creation as more people begin to join the site seeking rewards and content.
October 2021-June 2022: See large network growth with the NBA season in full swing. During this time, many contests will be run to increase engagement on the site including possible aspects of community-run sports prediction initiatives and engagement contests based on individual NBA team engagement levels on the network. During this time it is our hope that we will see increased engagement regarding international leagues and players to foster 24/7 engagement on the network.
July 2022 onward: Seek affiliate marketing status from the NBA. Seek engagement from individual NBA personalities and teams. Integrate with existing blogging networks to allow for their content creators to share on and off chain.
Release Details
The tentative release date for the platform will be June 1st
The URL for this platform will be dunksocial.io
Thank you all very much for the support I have gotten thus far. This process has been a bit confusing in all honesty, but it is coming together at a great rate. I am looking forward to watching this network grow and bringing in hundreds of users that may not have otherwise found a place on the Hive blockchain.

great stuff. I have an old Lebron Facebook page with over 100k followers. It's not active but I will post things for you. You never know, it could lead to some traffic.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Woah... You have a page with 100k followers? That is insane, what is is called?
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
It's old and it is called Lebron is Better than Kobe lol. I can't get the name changed without screwing the whole thing up. It started as a personal page years ago. I just made my first post in forever. I average about 1,000 views per post but when it was active I got about 30,000. I'll try and beat some life back into it during the playoffs.

Tough name now, but that is still an amazing following. I would love to have you post some stuff on there it would be a huge boost to the number of eyes on the platform!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
No prob. Whenever you're ready we can post there. We'll just keep it Lebron content
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Of course! I know a few big Bron fans that would create some great content

Yeah I know a guy, LOL thanks again

He must be handsome :D . YW your project will kick ass! it's a great idea!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Much appreciated Marios! It'll be big for all of us
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Great to see you driving forward with the plan. It won't be easy to get off the ground with a niche subject so you will have to back it up with some good marketing.
I used to be a big fan of the game and played all the way into college so will be looking forward to seeing what you bring to the chain.
Best of luck with the tribe and i'm sure we can all add a bit to it in the beginning and get things moving.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes I know it will be difficult to start. My hope is to actually get a boost from onboarding people that have never really used a tokenized creation platform and have this be their gateway to it. Leo Finance was mine and I have found myself most inclined to post here as a result. I hope that you find yourself wanting to post and engage on dunk social as well as on here as that is what I will be doing! Slow at first and then all at once is the goal over here. I am passionate about the topic and the audience is large if it can be accessed. Marketing will be huge
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
The market is there if you can do it right. Getting them to the platform will be the hardest part but if you can start to get the traffic there is huge potential for it.
I am always happy to engage and even post on occasion.
Much appreciated, looking forward to it!

Congratulations on getting this all put together and your upcoming platform launch.
Much appreciated! I hope that you will find a way to use it as well. Thank you for your kind words

This is crazy Rob! Love the video, the logo, and especially the idea. Sports is a huge industry and NBA has millions of fans worldwide. This has the potential to go big in no time.
I used to play basketball in school but it was a long time ago. 🤓
All the very best for the launch! You are going to rock it.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Thank you! I hope you will come and use the platform a bit when it is ready. I appreciate the kind words. And @mariosfame did the video, really awesome work by him! My boy @omarallabadi did the beats

Wish you all the best. Is niallon pointed, more the specific niche it is more hard to find audience. But I think if you able to get audience specific niche may be the first hanging place for like minded people making it valuable.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Yes I do understand how the niche makes it a hit or miss project. I think that the trajectory for the sport of basketball and that of cryptocurrency is well aligned. Both are growing rapidly. I picked this because it is something I know a lot about and am passionate about watching on a daily basis. I believe there are a lot of people who share this passion. I just need to make it easy for them to access the platform.

The audience of Basketball it so big i don't think this is gonna be a problem!
And not only in the States but in Europe as well!
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Nice to know , (Hardly played basketball and it is not at all popular in my country.) .
Look like tribe is all set for great beginning.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Awesome. I tend to prefer watching the NBA more than the NFL or MLB. Since I am from California, I tend to support the local teams on TV at least. Now if only they can get politics out of their ads and if Lebron can stop doing dumb things.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
My friends and I were joking that perhaps this platform will enable millionaires to be made by trash talking Lebron LOL
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I also think so and he tends to not think before tweeting out things. He puts too much emphasis into politics and should be focusing more on playing.
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
I don't mind the idea of players using a platform to speak on social issues, but he is very impulsive in his statements in my eyes
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Great news dude! I hope you'll spin-off in the future and create something like this for American Football and Hockey too, since I prefer those but I'll definitely keep supporting this project as best as I can
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
Understandable, everyone has their preferences! But I do hope you find some reason to toss in a post or like a few posts! Hopefully there is a lot of interactive content such as cool contests and stuff that peak your interest
Posted Using LeoFinance Beta
For sure! I'll still check it out because I really like the underlying idea!
