Yeah, you're right. Steemit Inc is actually more responsible than Tesla, lately :p

Obviously, it doesn't matter about the release date except to not expect SMT before then.
I don't mind the updates, anyways.

Surely, ethereum's smart-contracts were a financial boon to the entire ecosystem. There's a good chance of SMT doing something similar for Steem. I'm interested. However, not as interested as I am in having a competitive UX on steemit.com
