RE: BlockTrades RocksDB proposal to Steemit
this frees up Steemit Inc to work on SMTs.
Haven't they learned that SMTs should NOT be the priority for the blockchain?

Very valid point my friend, however the carrot has been dangled long enough and there is something that I can only describe as "hope fatigue" - Investors, both those in here already and those from the outside looking in have lost a lot of confidence. Delivering on promises is all about restoring that, even if it brings an avalanche of shitcoins, which it very well might.
SMTs will add more pressure and complexity to the system. If the system isn't scalable and optimal, we'll end up with more problems. They should have focused on that before making bold promises. Simply put, we're not ready for SMTs.
Part of the issue is that community features are tied up with SMTs, meaning that both the economic AND social feature set of Steem are held back by now launching SMTs. It would be great if somehow we could at least have communities get a chance to take root, even if SMTs take a lot longer. Communities should be a significantly simpler objective to realise.
