Businesses need simple tokens. Communities need full SMTs.
One major idea is that businesses on the block will promote the block by way of marketing their business. In order to make that happen we need a way to create simple tokens.
With the delay of full SMTs can Steemit work on making an easy way that everyone can issue simple tokens? This should be a far simpler activity that gets us 90% of the way there to accumulating money through tokens on Steem.
I'll agree with this. It would be nice to see something delievered and having simple tokens would help build some communities with additional users, providing additional motivation. Otherwise, I fear we'll just muddle through the next few months with little or nothing to show for it and perhaps not much of a community left. The potential here remains huge and I'm still 'all in'. We can accomplish a lot with just a few more tools.
I remember that I proposed something like this a couple of months ago, but by that time, nobody anticipated that the price of Steem would go so low back then. The bad part is that building this would require a lot of time and who knows how the market will look like by then...
