I read one of the "expert" opinions on 2018 and utility tokens were the prime targets suggested to invest in.
They are what I term Cryptocurrency 2.0 in some of my articles. 95% of the people will never buy a token in their life yet we are entering the tokenized economy. Hence a great many tokens success will depend upon the acquisition being done through their utility. STEEM fits this ideally.
I look at many of the tokens with larger market caps than STEEM and it is pie in the sky stuff. Sure a lot of what is being proposed will be pulled off. However, much of it wont. And that is the deal...STEEM is here now. It is functioning, processing transactions, and gaining users.
SMTs is an exciting protocol...when we see it....it is becoming like Yeti...something that might be folklore LOL.
It is a game changer for sure.
