@smooth, Yes, well awaited Hardfork finally got the official date and in my opinion this update didn't disappointed in any ways, and inturn bringing great vibes for sure.
And yes, RC system is effective and one of the important change and account creation aspect also simplified, and for sure this time this update will bring positives to the Steem Economy.
Now we are waiting for the SMT's and for sure SMT's will going to play the Revolutionary role for the Steem Economy. And in my opinion most importantly we need patience in these rough times because slowly everything will settle down.
SMT Economy will bring numerous opportunities in my opinion, and inturn every Steemian can get an chance to grow in Steem Economy.
