RE: I Love the "Steemit" Community
The social aspect of steem is getting some traction, I was unsure of that during my first year, most sharing type post did not do well value wise and some were downright ridiculed, it is good to see that attitudes have changed during the last year. With the growth of the scot-tribes and other aspects of steem, social may not be such a dirty word around the steem block chain any more.
You are so right! With the dispersion of power and monopolization regarding "powerful" Steemians thanks to tribes, this whole eco-system will prosper like never before. :)
I know people are a tiny bit concerned about what will happen when SMT's make the scene, but they are geared toward a different aspect of steem block chain than the Tribe side. I see the SMT's being part of a business trying to expand or to stretch it's current social reach. The Tribes are really not selling anything. The conflict with a scot-token or an SMT is going to come about in the arena of gaming, not so much of a conflict on the social side.
Sears, Sony, McDonalds, they really don't need a social site or a social coin, but they may be able to find great use cases for SMT crypto coins to offer discounts and such to loyal shoppers. Buy a big mac get 2 MickyD coins, collect 20 MickeyD coins and get a free happy meal for your kid type thing.
