RE: 100 Steem Bounty: What is the solution to a lack of SMT development?
I'm aware of the comment thread that follows between you and @thedarkhorse. Though I'd like to butt in and give my crypto-newbie opinion if that's at all considered.
It sounds like we're taking the assumption of "just sell it in the exchange" for granted. Has the possibility of using Steem/SBD as a medium of exchange been totally scrapped in the zeitgeist of major Steem holders?
What if I one day offers a fiverr-type service to be paid in Steem and only steem, would that sound positive or laughable?

Not laughable at all. If a fiverr-type service that used Steem as its currency got big enough that would be great. In essence that's what all the Steem-based apps are trying to do in their own ways.
I daydream about people using Steem/SBD (maybe not SBD yet until it's a properly functioning stablecoin) for real-world interaction. While I'm code illiterate, I still want to find ways to make myself useful to Steem not just as a hodler. Otherwise the thought of "Steem is only valuable by selling on exchanges" is depressing af.
