I have been waiting on the news about the development of the SMTs for a while now and to be honest I was somehow beginning to run out of patience. I know these things need enough time to be properly developed, scrutinized and tested but come on...I know y'all have been impatient as I have been and at some point wondered what happened to SMTs? Glad to hear that Steem Inc has finally released a new update on SMTs. Perhaps I have been missing on other updates but all the same, this is really great positive news. Gives me some sort of hope and adds to my excitement. And by the way I can totally relate to how your heart reacted after you reading the news. It sure is news to make someone's heart jump up to 180 BPM. Steem Smart Media Tokens will totally be a game changer to the Steem ecosystem. I am also positive it will bring alot of dapp developers to Steem then Steem blockchain can start rivaling Ethereum. Personally, I have been so frustrated by how slow and very expensive the Ethereum blockchain is when it comes to moving ERC-20 tokens or even sending Eth. I bet the slowness is simply because it's overcrowded (would love to understand the technical side from an expert ) Yes it might be the King of Smart Contracts but if Vitalik can't scale then Steem will surpass it once the SMTs development is complete. That is actually what I foresee happening. Afterall Steemit is the most active and fastest blockchain network as far as I am aware. You also happen to mention something of that sort in this post.Lol !! So yeah bet i'm right. Let's just say the Steem blockchain is a gem that is very undervalued. Like so so undervalued.
It would also be interesting to see platforms such as dtube, dmania and dlive have their own SMT token just like Hunt Platform, Air-Clinic, and Actifit.
Also,another thing I am waiting to see is how well Steem blockchain performs against the other top 10 blockchain networks (mainly EOS, Tron, Stellar) in terms of dapp development once the SMTs have fully launched.
