How come I do not hear any controversial voices on SMT?
I think that Steemit is designed for SOCIAL MEDIA - it is a fork of graphene (from Bitshares) which was empowerement for trading engine and coin creation in the first place.
Everything was trimmed off to be a pure social media blockchain engine. Now ned comes ahead and plans SMT's ... which totally do not make sense to bring all this functionality back in ... taking 3 years of the development.
Steemit could be so big when ressources and developers would be targeting to make steemit.com awesome from the beginning.
Such a sad story from my point of view.
