RE: So Just Build Your New Site Powered by an SMT and They Will Come, Right? Ah, Probably Not.
"If you build it, they will(maybe) come!" I've heard that somewhere before...
I also will refer to, "I wanna be where the people are." Ya, a little mermaid quote.
Wouldn't a narrowly defined community require some type of exchange where their particular crypto can be easily exchanged for and with other media producers? Such as, Film producers trading Film tokens for Music tokens from Music producers?
A film producer wishes to get some music for their film but only have their tokens, would they then "pay" a music producer, (I just had an idea), in Film tokens for their product?
The idea I had was even more narrowly defined crypto-tokens within the Film Token SMT. Where producers would create a subset of crypto-tokens per project, like Die Hard Film Tokens, where they can "pay" people in production tokens. They could be traded for regular Film tokens, or, and this is where the idea came to life; If the film does well, the specific production token would then be worth more on the Film token market. This doesn't account for flops and how they would affect the Film token market.
I agree the Smart Media Token is where the future is headed for sure. How lucky are we who are at the precipice of a new ".com" era.
We expect our token 'Flix' to be used as a currency for all services provided - yes a complete production paid for in Flix. Whatever the service providers do with it is their business - keep them for investment, buy services themselves, pay for a new camera or turn them into cash since Flix will be bootstrapped to Steem. And to answer your second question... although no doubt some will attempt a token for a specific project like 'Die Hard 17" my feeling is, since films have such a short life it will be difficult to gain support from the at large Steemit.com community whereas, in steem.film you have a community specific interested in being a part of a filmmaking community.
