RE: Thinking about SMT and Steemarket.com: could I try to crowdfund it?
This is a similar thought to what we have been having for the science community. In the end the decision to implement a SMT makes sense, as it allows for the implementation of an expert based economy. For art it will allow for the best artistic contributors to reward other artists, and those with talent are also those with an eye for other talent. I say you should go for it.
thank you. I have still doubts about the benefits of it, but it depends on my limitated understanding of how actually SMT will be accepted (the recent investment of 20 millions on it is a good push tho)
I thought the same thing until I read the white paper a few times and tried to envision how we could implement SMTs in a beneficial way. In the end the distinguishing factor of whether you will create value or make something hokey, will fall on the shoulders of your implementation.
The funding won't create real value, YOU will. Through the community you establish with the aide of the SMT. Make an art marketplace where SMT has worth, make value specifically for art through your token. Make the token MEAN something, not just be a coin, but rather be a true badge of quality. There are a lot of ways to draw out the value from the proposed system. The paradigm of money and value is changing. And we are those are the forefront of this new revolution.
What I think is exactly something like that, expecially considering the community and its token not just for buying/selling artworks but for rewarding real good contents - like Steem does (or should do). I think this could even change the whole Art Market (in time) and the way we consider an artwork and its value.
But it also depends on acceptation of this new paradigm, which isn't going to happen without reactions and fight, in my opinion
You and I are 100% on the same page. And it is up to people like us to fight these battles. The rewards for the world in general could be quite huge if we are successful.
