Personally, I've have to agree with you @fyrstikken . Too much talk on Synereo-AMP side, and at the moment, nothing gets delivered yet. I'm still new to many altcoins, or some shitcoins, but I guess I was hard working enough to backtrack on most articles and stuffs.
However if Synereo will be even half as good as what they describe themselves to be (going to, or never will be), I guess it probably wouldn't even affect Steem on the long run, even in the perfect case when Synereo goes up and running soon after the up-coming Alpha phase, Synereo-AMP and Steem are just 2 different things. Probably like how different Twitter, Reddit and Facebook is.
But I guess Synereo-AMP is just hyped by many guys, who thinks the price will follow in the footsteps of Steem after 4th July, and coincidently Steem price had been freefalling since middle of last week, and only finally picking up now. I'm wondering if the Steem pick up has anything to do with Synereo-AMP when people start looking at social media blockchain, and thus the hype helped bring STEEM backed up a lil bit.
I'm optimistic about the hype created over Synereo-AMP, and hopefully I'll be in time to get in, and wait for the rest to bail me out later in the midst of the Alpha phase, lols. Hopefully I'll still have my bed then.
