if you lose on one, you gain on the other. I try to stick with higher returns and rewards pool with little to no junk.

That's the point! The win-win situation is when you pair TWO tokens that you like BOTH... In that way, you will have more of the "weaker" token, but if you are in for the accumulation, you are still good... That's the way how I look at my pools... I DON'T invest in pools where I have a shitcoin paired with a quality one (for example HIVE)... Even if the APR is crazy high... I did that in the past and learned my lesson... 😃

And regarding your observation on curating in those two tribes, it's your personal choice... Curation is good as you support others too, but if the token value is constantly going down, is that doing a favor to others? I suppose it is because they don't lose anything...

Don't get me wrong, I also curate in those two tribes that you listed, but I don't have a crystal ball to see what will happen with them... The only thing that we have is our experience, the charts, whitepapers, tokenomics, etc... And tbh, I'm not sure what can we expect from any tribe on HIVE...
