An SMT will be traded through STEEM, so we won't have a bunch of SMTs and STEEM just one of them. We will have STEEM, and then a bunch of SMTs on top of STEEM. Market-wise, this will most likely boost demand for STEEM, as a token.
Also, the SMT generation mechanism is way more complex than just a token issuance on the Ethereum platform. When you launch an SMT, you literally launch a thin layer of Steem-application-processes on top of your content, including your own rewards pool, your own inflation model, your own voting and curation algorithms and your own vesting mechanism.
Hope this helps.
Yes, this helps a lot to understand it even better! Thank you :-)
So what I deduced from the Whitepaper was that SMTs will all be built on the Steem blockchain - like being the Steem blockchain the mothership and the SMTs their satelites.
Steem price +18% - seems that the market is already reacting :)
Thanks for your valuable addings! Have a great weekend!!
