That is NOT the situation we have on Steemit at present.

Try to see it as Steem, not Steemit as that is just one facet of the ecosystem and not a very important one the further forward we go. And again, this article was not Steem specific, it is how I see the entire world changing going forward.

People spend much too much time looking at how to improve Steemit without looking at what possibilities are available through SMTs and oracles. Even though the stake could earn on the RCs for user bandwidth, it is possible that the SMT itself is earned in ways that are not stake related at all as they can change requirements as they choose. Through this, the problems of Steem and stake are much less of an issue for new users going into a tokenized platform.

Have you worked out what kind of SMT you could run that would negate the issues of Steem and will it attract users to it? If so, it is worth getting some devs together and creating it as the Steem blockchain still transfers regardless if people post here or not.

But again, this post is about talent as a commodity and in a continually automating world that encourages passivity, those with usable talents are going to be scarce and valuable.
