SMTs and SteemIt, Inc. - Dear Ned

Dear @ned and SteemIt, Inc.


The misinformation and speculation about what SMTs are and how they will impact STEEM are flying.  There is so much misinformation out there being presented because people do not understand the vision.  They don't understand how the applications are connected by Steem.


The FUD and information is flying due to the lack of information coming from Corporate.  Might be good to get a handle on the Message.  If you do not manage the message your competition and detractors will.

There is room for all of this speculation and inaccuracy because the community and investors have not been updated and very few understand the vision and are twisting it due to their lack of understanding.

Might be a great idea to do a demo of "How a SMT" might work, how it might help the price of Steem.

SMTs are late, being mismarketed, etc.

I suggest creating videos/posts/discussion groups to share a vision of now it might work?

Or just let the investors guess until it is launched.

Sort:  

Pretty wild how the communication hasn't gotten any better. This feels like a renegade team. Not comfortable with so many aspects of this project now. The price shows the same.

Yes you are right The price shows the same

In a way, there is an SMT ICO going on RIGHT NOW. It's called APPICS I would have expected @ned and Corporate to have gotten involved in that - maybe giving it some oxygen or publicity, or using it as some kind of proof of concept.

Most people on here didn't even hear about it.

That's the problem @appics is misrepresenting information and data will be on the SMT blockchain not the STEEM blockchain.

The silence should tell you something. As @ned is an adviser to @appics

Exactly, however, if ned had participated, he could have influenced the message to be less confusing.

Rightttttt. I think the confusion is a tactic. Hope I am wrong.

Who cares i hope the witnesses reject smts. Decentralize everything

True because I have absolutely no idea how they work or what they're meant to do.

Truth is, a very high percentage of the people do not truly understand SMT. All the info I have, have been gathered from all round the community and I can tell you, they make it more confusing than ever.

WE need to talk ma man

I’m confused about what smt means to me...hahah

THIS IS BECAUSE USE CASES FOR SMT ARE POORLY DOCUMENTED
and are legal nightmares that nobody wants to COMMIT TO?

I have done all research necessary and unless I ask for inside info, I don't know duck SQUAT?1

Hi @ned @timcliff !!

I think SMTs will be for businesses and those who hold vests will benifit even if they are not dealing with SMT...vests are an investment in Steemit.inc...this is just my uneducated guess

yeah me too confused yesterday someone posted that SMT will launch tommorrow

still waiting for smt's to come into existence

very timely post @whatsup . I was just having this conversation with someone today about appics. Definitely some confusion as to what it has to do with steemit and if it would be better to use and support steepshot. I really believe that the "instagram" type app on steemit is the gamechanger for onboarding new members.

A lack of news is hitting confidence in this platform. There are other issues with it, but uncertainty creates speculation.

Think about the price explosion once the news hits the masses...

YES
"SMTs are late, being mismarketed"

That is certainly true
I like your positive suggestions; until that time, watch STEEM fall...

RESTEEMING

Yes but as SOON as SMT and HF20 come out watch steem DOUBLE in one day! We have almost 1 million users now! So imagine 1 million people all buying steem everyday the internet will freak out! WE will soon be in the top 10 again

$20 steem here we come

Lol. You are delusional. How many ppl on Steem actually buy the tokens?

Glad you are seeing that @surfyogi trying to bring it to the attention of the community with posts

@surfyogi sir, thanks for your resteem. That's why I learning @whatsup's possitive suggestion.

Hello Angelina, I know this is off topic but do you speak czech? I see you are from the Czech republic.

Ano, mohu říct.

Greetings friend, thanks for those good contributions to the community, you are always excellent blessings for you
