It seems that as Bitcoin is awaiting a positive announcement like the lightning network or EFTs in order to have a phase of value growth, STEEM has been waiting for SMTs and the other developments with the next release.
I am not technical when it comes to coding as I decided early on that I would focus on the business of computing rather than the finite coding. But, learning the details in the context of business and tracking these SMTs is fantastic.
Definitely a good time to get in for sure.
