While on the one hand I like the potential upside of SMT's. This is also a good point. If magically SMT's were released tomorrow in all their glory, the only thing we'd be depending on still is hype. There wouldn't be some sudden inflow of EARNED cash. People would still need to then build solid and stable businesses which if they REALLY wanted to and had the ability to, they could do right now with STEEM.

I think people have convinced themselves that SMT's are the second coming of STEEM, but I think we might be better off just focusing on creating a coherent user experience that can be sustained and maybe I dunno...earns some money?
