I’m probably not the only on here who really has no handle on his growing portfolio of tokens. It’s easy enough to check your Steem, SP, and SBD balances but outside of those it gets a bit murkier.
Various dApps let you earn tokens here from delegating some of your Steem Power or by using their services. And it’s not even always obvious that you’re earning them. There are probably some people who’ve upvoted posts without realizing that they’ve just accrued some fraction of a HUNT token.
Some dApps have opted to go the ERC-20 route as a stopgap until the release of Smart Media Tokens. Some are using Steem-Engine. Others are simply building databases prior to actually issuing tokens. With so many different protocols, might it even be possible for a dev to build a dApp that allowed people to keep track of all their tokens?
And then what value might be assigned to any of them? Most at this point are lottery tickets. Possibly a jackpot, perhaps one of the smaller lottery prizes, maybe zilch. In a few cases, we’re starting to at least have a vague approximate idea. Steemhunt is going through an IEO phase, with an initial $0.02 valuation. So my 17,587.75 HUNT tokens are at least nominally valued at something like $350. Better than a poke in the eye with a sharp stick. And AFIT tokens can be converted into upvotes that can earn SP and SBD, but only 20 AFIT at a time once every five days or so. Since I have 46564.97 of them, that process doesn’t even keep up with how fast I’m earning them, but it’s at least some version of a price discovery mechanism. Perhaps though it’s a mistake to still be thinking of value in “How much fiat can I get for them?” terms. Would thinking in terms of Steem or BTC be the better way to go?
I’m accruing tokens for some of my outgoing delegations (some also pay out small amounts of Steem or SDB). Somewhere out there, I’m accruing tokens from at least four (maybe six?) of the dApps that I’m delegating to. I’m pretty sure that I’m accruing tokens due to delegations to @cleanplanet and @dlux-io but what about @dclick or @vimm or @wherein? And what about dApps that I used to delegate to but don’t anymore? Have I accrued SpaceCase tokens somewhere and totally lost track of them?

Thanks for using POCKET! I am running this confirmer code.
Yeah, and I forgot to mention my dlike tokens. 😅
It is interesting to say the least. I have a bit of this and a bit of that. No idea on how to find them.
The Steem-Engine wallets at least give us one place to look.
Also, in the case of FUTURE. I don't want to join a new blockchain, download a new wallet and try to figure out more things to manage.
Oh yeah, don't forget to factor in the value of DRAMA. dRAMA gave Trump a DRAMA yesterday, and a lot of people noticed.
Never underestimate the value of a good DRAMA.
!dramatoken
And than you add a !BEER
Enjoying the Steem-Engine with all that tokens.

OHHHH! Thank you so much! i'm exited.
I heard about the Trump-drama ;-)
I was so stupid and I sold my DRAMA token :-(

BEERgo to steem-engine.com.Here is your
BEERtoken!There's definitely plenty of tokens lying around, @preparedwombat. I haven't been into collecting too many myself, but I do have some ENGAGE and some pocket tokens.
I think you're right when you wonder about thinking in terms of STEEM value versus fiat. Unless these end up somehow publicly trading, isn't there value set to whatever blockchain they're based on? So, either STEEM or the ERC-20?
I suppose, though, as long as fiat continues to rule our lives with rent and food, and utilities, that fiat will be what comes to mind first. But I believe the more we can think in terms of STEEM, the better off we'll eventually be.
I’m going to assume that lacking reliable price discovery, they have. I fiat value.

DRAMA. Don't spend it all in one place!To view or trade
DRAMAgo to steem-engine.com.I went onto that steem marketplace website when I noticed @detlev gifted me one of the beer tokens. I was surprised to see I have some other tokens as well in the form of drama, engagement and a couple others. They may not be much now but I really like accruing something that may be valuable in the future by doing what I normally do here.
Steem keeps getting better and better!

Might be a good idea to have a post to the #BeerSaturday at this weekend.
I heard the @BeerLover will have some surprise for all the Steemians who follow the rules and quality!

At the risk of typecasting myself, I may just have to make another beer post just for @beerlover because I am one too.

I am only focusing on those that remain someway linked to the blockchain here and while that may mean that I would need to wait longer term to monetize, I am fine with that. However, agree that it will probably only get worst before better! Just go to your EOS wallet and see the amount of tokens there after a year! Most are worthless as well!

It’s kind of like micro-investing. I sign up for all those little apps that take little bits of your money and do round-ups so you painlessly put money aside. But I do lose track of how many I have and how to check on their value.
It’s also a bit like working for a company that offers stock options. They can become wildly valuable. But there is no guarantee. For those that never come to fruition, I’ve heard of people using them for wallpaper. But maybe that is urban legend.
I would love an app that helps me track my tokens. A really nice feature would be a dashboard that also tells you how to earn more. Both @actifit and @partiko have nice tips about how to earn more, and it’s super helpful!

I am in the same situation and I am just adding some left and right. I might have some I do not know about. I guess they will pop out of the woodwork when SMTs come (if and when they do) and we can get an actual overview of all coins. Until then I am patiently blogging and getting more of who knows what. I just like it, all that potential, its exiting
