RE: Is it worth adding the tribe tags to posts?
Interesting post @livinguktaiwan. Like you, I get a number of these tokens and have yet to invest the time to even be clear about what they represent (if anything). In this "crazy" new digital asset world, I am familiar with Air Drops. Seems like that has become the accepted way to "market" whatever the value proposition is a new crypto represents.
What are your thoughts about SMTs? The little I have read about that, they seem to fundamentally represent more or less the same things as SE tokens. Except they'll be "driven" by code written into the blockchain itself.
So ... Will this functionality (once the long-promised day come when they are available ...) spawn a whole new set of communities? And will all of these currently existing SE token-based communities rush to create an SMT equivalent?
Tbh, I've never managed to understand exactly what SMT does (my little brain can't handle that😔) and how SE tokens differs from it. The only thing I heard is that SMT is more secure than SE tokens, but how ?
If you find a dummies guide, please let me know.
Well, we're somewhat in the "same boat" then @livinguktaiwan. I do know the difference is that SMTs [Smart Media Tokens], once available (next HF?), will be "built in" to the coding of the Steem blockchain itself vs. SE tokens just "sitting on top" somehow. My educated guess is that is the basis for deeming SMTs more secure.
On the other hand, I've read not being restricted to the blockchain code gives the SE tokens more "flexibility," but have read nothing which explains why this is a positive attribute.
Guess maybe we'll both find out (if it ever becomes important ...) soon enough!
Assuming SMT will be here soon ......
