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.
