I think you're right, now is definitely the time to invest in Steem. Right now the cryptocurrency world is in a massive state of flux as everyone speculates around the bitcoin hardfork...but one thing I am certain of is that Steem is here to stay thanks to how rapidly Steemit is growing and how quickly sites/applications like Zappl and APPICS are being introduced to the Steem blockchain.
I see Steem sticking around for the long haul, don't you?
The SMT tokens will bring so many more investors into steem :-)
I agree, I am looking forward to seeing the SMTs really cause Steem to blow up! :D
