Yes, you can trade BEE with @learn2code to get some BYTE before the launch. The BEE will go toward BYTE's first diesel pool. Pairing BYTE with STEM probably makesn the most sense and there aren't any other tokens paired with STEM yet. Now that I think of it I should check with themarkymark to see if he has any objections to pairing STEM with BYTE on TribalDEX.

I did some presale of MEME when that started out because I didn't have much back then to put toward a tribe. Now, I am in the position that I can roll the profit I've made from MemeHive and Hive Images into Learn to Code and the other thing I'll post about soon. @learn2code will put some tokens on the exchange for sale on the first day but I don't want too much BYTE in circulation at launch.

Some BYTE will also be minted early for my account to stake as administrator and @learn2code for community account upvotes and downvotes, like I do for @memehive and @hivephoto, so we can consider those BYTE kind of being bought wholesale for my 3000 BEE.😁 The amounts will be disclosed in the whitepaper.

I agree with your reasoning about airdrops. I am not a fan of airdrops either and ethereum has helped to give airdop a bad name. The optics aren't great for anyone outside the Hive ecosystem looking in and seeing Hive airdrops because of that.

Will the tribe involve discussions about coding, or do you want to focus primarily on coding as it is taught in school?

I'll try to make this more clear in the whitepaper. Thanks for that feedback.

For the @learn2code account for the foreseeable future I'll be making posts as I self-teach myself blockchain development and coding so it will be from a beginner's perspective. @learn2code will also post about projects found on https://hiveprojects.io.

When in doubt, use the #learntocode tag. I don't want to be a gatekeeper. There's most likely going to be some posts about the history of computers, like ENIAC or the Babbage Analytical Engine. There will probably be posts about more speculative topics like DNA and holographic memory storage. As long as it's not plagiarized and related to computer hardware and software @learn2code will allow leeway. It's more up to the BYTE token holder consensus what to upvote and downvote.

I am sure most beginners will post primarily about learning code. More experienced users will post about what they're doing with the code. The tribe is open to everyone and everyone is at a different point in their learning. Nobody knows everything so even the users with more experience can learn something new.
