Revisiting a journal and came across an idea - been doing no good collecting dust, but might be worth sharing with you as you might actually be in a position to pitch it to someone at Rolling Stone, given your connections there:

A Rolling Stone token built on SMTs.

• Would provide incentive for online engagement / app use:

• i.e. users earn tokens for commenting on articles, participating in contests, etc

• would provide Rolling Stone customer feedback and performance stats for their online strategy

• create community engagement = increased value for the company, translatable to greater profitability selling digital real estate to advertisers

• tokens could be redeemable for exclusive concert tickets & backstage passes, artist pre-releases, memorabilia, special events, unique bonuses, etc

Win for Rolling Stone.
Win for their readers/community.
Win for the crypto community with increased exposure.
Win for Steem investors, given the caliber of the SMT use-case.

One of the best ways for people to understand blockchain: getting their feet wet.

Such an idea, executed well, could serve that education excellently.

The idea’s now out for you to run with it, should you choose... 😉💖
