The fact that Steem is a DEX is overlooked by many people. It is exciting to think that we could be able to trade all the SMTs at zero cost and very quickly.
I think another overlooked aspect of the steem blockchain is the fact that all tokens created using SMTs will be as secure as steem. You dont get that on ETH or any of the other blockchains. This is invaluable considering how many accounts have been hacked of late.
