One video is not enough evidence to do anything legitimate for this coin. Where did you get your info about Vice? Maza markets itself as "a cryptocurrency network for all sovereign tribes" but it is decentralized and the price can be manipulated by anyone. Especially by a whale with nearly 10% of the circulating coins and a market that is extremely illiquid.

This is an old PoW coin with a long history which is good to see. Having an Android wallet is a cool feature that many older, low marketcap coins do not have. The high number of Github commits by many different contributors might make it seem like there is a strong community but that is because it was forked from Bitcoin. Overall, there is nothing that makes Maza stand out other than its claim as a crypto for tribes and I can't see much value in that.

If Maza focused on helping tribes establish and secure their own currencies then it would be a useful coin supporting Native interests.

It used to be that humanity benefited from "melting pots" where cultures were forced to assimilate and be destroyed. That allowed a lot of global development etc.

Now we are moving in the other direction and isolated groups that have developed their own traditions must be left to survive independently.

Mazacoin has a good concept, a Native economy, but too many of its supporters are distracted by profit, speculation. Some people need to decide whether Maza should be a coin for short term profits or a coin whose goal is to support more authentic local Indigenous economies.

I agree that if it does what it claims then it would be useful. My point is that it seems the same as any PoW coin with a long history. It is only using the tribe coin story to boost price without any evidence of adoption by tribes.
