RE: An epiphany about Smart Media Tokens (SMTs) or just a lack of sleep?

in #smt7 years ago

Great video, thanks for posting.
Steemfest looked great - I only watched videos, I missed out on the break dancing or whatever :-)

re video Initially I thought you were talking about 'monetizing" the human experience.

Then I started thinking your turning "life" into a "game" where chars get 'points' for "attributes"
eg i'm 80% as a giver 30% as a lover and 50% as a fighter or something

Battle bots on line the new virtual reality game that is really you &me & the new wristband is out soon that shows our 'powers' haha haha
Pokemon v3 with real people or something!

What happens to lonely, solitary, non-social Apies? tricky because we are perhaps "valuing" social worth & connectivity in some ways.

But maybe you are just replacing 'money' as an exchange of value and expanding value to include human experiences as a reward-able thing in addition to goods & typical services (accounting/car washing etc).

So as a "love" / "appreciation" token I think you might be on to something. But perhaps it really only includes the socially connected.

but what if SMT went a step further & actually tried to replace the whole concept of "money". Sort of like a barter token.

eg I fix your car, the butcher provides you meat, my landlady does someones cleaning, and a friend gives me a ride to supermarket.
exchange of value (at some rate) but beyond the concepts & limits of 'money'.

Is that what SMT are or could be?

Time will tell :-)

Some good insight there. Thanks for contributing to the conversation.

I really like this;

It really encapsulates the concept.
