RE: An epiphany about Smart Media Tokens (SMTs) or just a lack of sleep?
Maybe in the future we have an account of accomplishments and nice gestures that creates some kind of public social value. I like this idea if it only tracks positive things and ignores negative ones. Otherwise we end up like in the Black Mirror or The Orville episodes where a societiy downvotes people who are exposed in a viral video or something like that. In both scenarious that created horrific repercussions for these downvoted people.
I very much see it as an account of "accomplishments and nice gestures" however a dynamic and changing one. We have a reputation system here on Steem.
However in order show your displeasure in someone or dynamically revise your own opinion of someone's reputation you have to downvote them/ their content. With a token you can simply sell your stake in their token if you previously invested in them.
If you did not invest, you can remain un-invested.
Selling some of your stake in someone else can also be a positive. If someone becomes uber popular with many people wishing to express their gratitude and love, previous stake holders can sell to them. As human value can be defined as the breadth and the depth of the people you touch in a positive way.
