Why is there so much STEM price action lately?

You may have noticed there is a lot more activity lately.  What gives?
I'm not going to give you financial advice, but I will tell you why I think activity has picked up and allow everyone to have the same information.  I think that is only fair.

The last few days I have noticed an significant increase in STEM & STEM Miner activity.

So what is going on?

These days I mostly hangout in the ManCave discord, although I still bounce around checking out what goes in other discords.  I may have let slip I am working on a game that will be announced soon that will incorporate STEM into the game core mechanics.  There is also another Hive Engine token being introduced called APE.

I am opening the official [discord server](https://discord.gg/y2b9yPtsVb) to the public today but 
there is no official information available yet.

I still firmly [believe STEM has the best tokenomics](https://leofinance.io/@themarkymark/what-you-may-not-know-about-stemgeeks-and-the-stem-token) of any of the Hive Engine tribes to date and is grossly underestimated.  **If you don't believe me, check it out and prove me wrong.**

## Quick look at STEM tokenomics

* 11,190 proof of brain tokens created weekly.  
* Typically 3,000-4,000 STEM tokens burned weekly
* Current inflation is 6.26% dropping, compare that to 20%+ of other tribes
* When you factor in burning, inflation is only 4.78%
* Spam and low effort content doesn't get rewarded
* STEMGeeks has a very well distributed author reward curve (See below)
* All STEMGeeks author rewards and liquid curation rewards are burned weekly
* STEMGeeks ran the largest community contest with a prize pool over $4,000.

**I really believe STEM is one of the most underestimated tokens on Hive Engine.**

### Author Reward Curve

This curve represents the distribution of author rewards, a smooth curve with a long tail shows rewards are distributed to a lot of authors and not stacked between the select few popular authors.

Compare the curve to other tribes below.

**At the end of the day, a reward pool main purpose is distribution.  In an ideal world, those rewards go to those who provide the most value not who has the most friends.**

I will be making an announcement soon regarding my new game **Ape Mining Club**.  Until then, feel free to hop on [discord](https://discord.gg/y2b9yPtsVb) and say hi.  

*None of this is financial advice and if you need advice please ask your mom.*
