You are correct, Vice is just the tip of the iceberg.
The reason why the content creators who got together to form Vice, Penthouse being one, is to get their content direct. Paying distributors gets expensive. Bet the ranch if that if Vice takes off, other entities will follow...porn and otherwise.
SMTs are the holy grail for STEEM. The Vice token will bring huge traffic. All bandwidth is paid with STEEM on the blockchain which means that the transactions that take place on the new token is paid for in STEEM....adding a lot of value to the token.
Absolutely. I see many possible token strategies. Users will always have the option to cash out but there will be use cases to make people give their tokens right back to the distributor for premium benefits, exclusive content & merchandise, or an incentive to hold tokens to attain rank & benefits. Profitable uses will be a subtle “freemium” or loyalty reward type structure where people can patiently earn via their attention, but will be lured to spend instead. Or there will be a mix of traditional advertising and marketing partnerships to drive & fund the free user token distribution.
The potential for a huge gain in Steem price is real, particularly with our Steem Power system. Between the 2 big exchanges of Bittrex and Poloniex there’s only about 40 million liquid Steem between them right now. A big ICO on Vice or any other SMT would chew through a big portion of available Steem driving the price higher at every buy! I am pretty excited for 2018...
this will be so big. even sites like xhamster.com which has 1000's of homemade adult clips. is a way for them to get paid by watchers with steem. it goes both ways. you can get paid to watch porn, and you can get paid from making porn.
Outstanding review of this! I added you to my @steemvoter!
Glad you enjoyed it and thanks for the support! I’m eagerly awaiting more SMT & Vice news in 2018...
While it wouldn't fit (that's what they all say) in the article, I had to include this as well!
Haha I sing that song at Karaoke all the time, and get weird looks...
Ha! I would give you a weird look... and a request for an encore!
