My 2 Cents On Tribe X Empire

The power behind a meaningful and purpose driven community.

Tribe X is more than just another NFT for your collection, more than a quick flip. Less about hype and more about looking 10 years down the road. How will you fit into a community and add value by being yourself. It’s what I ask myself as I enter and explore the NFT land.

The founders of Tribe X have mentioned plenty of times that hype kills culture. I whole heartily agree with this statement. In my opinion it speaks volume given that We3.0 revolves around culture, innovation, & social interactions powered by computer generated experiences, the metaverse.

As of today discord application is how communities best interactive with each other. Playing games, participating in chat rooms, live meetings, sharing gifs, announcements, giveaways, etc. You also have applications like Twitter creating Chat Rooms (Twitter space) and a feature for NFT profile pictures. In my eyes, they are innovating and moving towards a more interactive and engaged experience for users.

However, right now we are confined to what discord allows us to do. But imagine a scenario with a more immersive experience. Where you take the identity and appearance of your NFT Avatar and connect with other members in shared virtual reality spaces.

It’s like playing Fornite or connecting to a Minecraft server. For those who are not familiar, Minecraft and Fornite are a metaverse in themselves. You just are limited to a keyboard, controller and a tv.

In Fornite you can buy skins by using their virtual currency which has no value in the outside world. Or purchase the battle pass and receive rewards as you level up.

I remember countless hours of playing Minecraft with family and friends. We created farms, bridges, houses, entire cities, and even recreated Terminal (a video game map). That was fun and it was definitely something to remember.

I met a lot of people and had a blast. Created our own discord communities and built relationships grounded on gaming. It’s been 3–4 years and I still keep in contact with some of those friends.

The point I’m getting to is that we already live in the metaverse. Just limited to our current technology.

I like to think of web.3 like Instagram, messaging apps, Snapchat, zoom meetings, discords, payment applications, & marketplaces. Coming together as one package on the blockchain, with crypto currencies to create virtual economies around the chain’s native token.

Community is my number one priority when deciding what project to buy, because they will be the people whom I will interact with as long as I have access to that community.

That’s why when my friend asked me, what will be the ROI (Return on investment) on Tribe X NFTs? I honestly didn’t think much of it. And I could care less if I can flip them within a week, a month, or 4 years.

The value I see in Tribe X is the foundation and qualities which the Empire is being built upon. I genuinely gravitated and resonated with the message they are broadcasting. “We are Tribe, Together we thrive” “A community built by us, for us” “Our purpose is to help our members experience the power of blockchain and leverage the creator economy regardless of their technical know-how”.

Take the time to watch this video. It will bring into perspective and shed some light as to why I am extremely bullish and excited to be a part of Tribe X Empire heading into a paradigm shift “ The digitalization of everything physical”.

Think of it this way. You are buying a key, a membership to a community whose sole purpose and priority is to not leave anyone behind, offer tools and avenues for just about anyone to navigate a digital creator powered economy.

It is also part of the reason why I started this blog. To share my learning and creative journey through writing and other creative forms.

To provide value to each one of the members by doing what I love. To serve a community that aims to onboard all races & demographics by treating everyone the same. Regardless of background, expertise or wealth status. Educating them on web.3 and how to thrive in a digital economy.

Now let me ask you this, what do you feel or think of when you hear the word tribe (share in comments). The definition of tribe has the word family, community, social, culture, economy in itself.

When I hear the word tribe I feel a sense of togetherness, harmony, family, love, motivation. All of which are embodied, represented & brought to life through the art, members & founders. Creating trust and a decentralized structure for members to thrive.

Pushing forward with the power of community, empowerment, ownership and transparency. Leveraging NFTs to provide opportunities and enter the metaverse in our own terms. In this case, in a meaningful and purposeful way.

Lastly, I want to talk about Education within Tribe X. To be honest this is what sealed the deal for me. As I explored the discord I came across the Alchemist Hut. A free, non judgmental space where students and educators may connect and share their knowledge and experiences. Here I have met great minds, humble people, kind and amazing women. Which I almost forgot to mention. Tribe X is all about empowering women in Web.3. But that’s for another post….

Education is why I am here. Its how I learn the best and thrive. By sharing and relaying information in a selfless way. I guess this is what makes us human right? To absorb and share information that may help you and I grow wiser and smarter.

The thought of taking part in innovating and creatively drive this sector, is what excites me the most. And the fact that Tribe X also believes in that, just makes me realize that I am on the right path. The Alchmist19 is the mastermind and head of the education channels in the Tribe X community, that’s just my opinion. I cannot stress it enough how much he knows and is willing to share. All I can say is join the family and find out for yourself.

Peace & Love, EJ.
