I haven't been able to think about anything else than OSMT's (Oracle based SMT's) and the impact it will have.
It will change everything as we know it.
First, as an investor I was always wondering what the role of STEEM would be in a world full of SMT's.
This is what I found out:
STEEM will be the only trading pair vs all other SMT's on an internal exchange.
You need STEEMPOWER to buy bandwidth on the steem blockchain to run an SMT.
And then @robert-call pointed this out yesterday. here
from the white paper:
STEEM is votable for every post.
It means that you will still be able to earn STEEM on every application and frontend even if they use an SMT.
Wow! Did I miss that.
I've been on the Steem blockchain for nearly 2 years. Earning STEEM has been increasingly more difficult with more users joining even though my blogging efforts have increased.
This won't stop. It will only get harder and with that every STEEM more valuable.
I always believed every Steem(power) to be precious. And now, I can only see this increase in the years to come.
For content creators the impact will be most likely be even bigger.
When Frontends (lets say dlive) implement an SMT and we go to an account based system (not steempower based) than content creators that pull in the most votes will trend.
As it should be.
The best content by wisdom of the crowd will be at the top and earning the most SMT tokens (but not necessarily STEEM).
Who has the most crowd? Outsiders that will bring their followers with them would be my bet. I seen it already on dlive.
I'm pretty sure it won't be me. But I'm pretty realistic regarding these things. (Famous Polish Streamer 16k live views, Exyle 6...yes six.)
This system should satisfy many speaking ill about the same content creators trending because of Steempower or bitbots. (even though without those they will even have less chance, but at least the system will be more fair).
I think yesterday many eyes were opened regarding SMT's with the page ned dropped.
Everything is slowly becoming more clear and there is plenty food for thought.
I talk about it more in my vlog.
I am a witness with our developer group @blockbrothers for the Steem blockchain. If you want to support us I would appreciate your vote here.

Wow, that's super exciting news and clarifies a lot about how the protocol will change for the better with the launch of SMTs. Exciting times ahead!

When you say "Earning STEEM has been increasingly more difficult with more users joining even though my blogging efforts have increased," I wonder what I've been doing with my life in the past months that I've been away from Steemit. Everything seems so new,and it feels like the world has moved on leaving me behind.
I may have left a lot to chances, but I'm sure not going to let myself become a rookie again. Who knows where I can read more about SMT's? Drop a link please, let me educate myself.

Hopefully this update will bring justice to all bloggers and the SMT will be successfully implemented. I sincerely hope and pray that the updates work. Literally I live off Steemit, with the little I earn around here, I manage to survive in Venezuela. In addition to making money, I've learned too much from this crypto social network... I've even improved my writing and the way I express myself.
Let's hope everything works out perfectly after the update. Greetings @exyle!!

I don't know what the future holds but I'm wondering if I should always exchange my sbd for steem and buy some eos. I feel left out of eos but also feel I dont have enough sp to really earn from steemit. I wonder what the future hold for me at my level. I feel like I need more sp lol

If you have quality and love what you are doing, you will be noticed, instead of months it will take years of hard work, but you will be able to succeed, of course, for early adopters will be very hard to watch this change happening.
I don't think people like the Polish streamer will kill us, Those big influences will bring millions with them and post´s payouts of $10K, $100K, will start to exist... And that's something I think we all want to see, because it means STEEM will be very close of $100 mark :D

With SMT's it will be possible to combine it with Oracles. Oracles will verify wether a account is a real person or not for instance.
Only accounts whitelisted by Oracles will be eligible to earn SMT's. If you are blacklisted (let's say a spam account) you can't earn SMT's.

You are right, from a content creator point of view competition brings more visibility which is very much needed, we are also the first generation of creators so if the Steem ecosystem explodes thanks to big names bringing in the masses we will benefit a lot from this. Can’t wait for the SMT protocol to come out, I personally will support the apps I use the most if they launch an ICO.

There is a lot of Game Theory in cryptocurrency. The move from Steempower based to user based simply changes the rules of the game.
I am usually an optimist, but in this case, my prediction (regrettably) is this:
The "Dark Side" users who currently have a significant amount of steem power will start powering down.
They will then use a pay for id tool (or script) to generate numerous accounts. (Like anonsteem)
They will then have the larger "crowd" upvoting their SMT based posts. Thus, continuing to get the higher payouts.
Sorry for the gloomy response ...
For the record, I truly am very excited about the technological benefits off SMT's - I just see a lot of potential for abuse.

Only white listed accounts (verified as a real person) by oracles of a community can be eligible for OSMT's.
Making a 1000 new accounts as 1 person won't help much because they can't be verified as real people.

The good thing about SMT is the fairness it will bring, most times the trending page is full of sub standard posts earning lots of cash that they don't deserve. Meanwhile good content by newer steemians is never seen or appreciated. Congratulations to @ned and his team for the SMTs. I will wait to watch his presentation at Consensus in NY.

In all seriousness though, what you said is important about first generation content creators. We will get better and we will be able to utilize all these platforms to get better.
That's part of the amazing journey for me....Getting better at what I'm creating. It's exciting to think about what can happen if we all focus and work on getting better.
Huge news for SMTs too...Exciting times!

Healthy competition will drive us all forward.
Cheers for your insight.

I can't wait for the launch. Coz I must say, what deters most minnows the most is that, you put out content, give it your best and then get nothing in return. Like you correctly said, at this time it seems like if you have a lot of SP you will get ahead here. If you don't, and you can't afford getting bots, your chances of success will be limited. I think things will be different and fair with SMTs.

I have to say, this is still hard to wrap my head around, so I listened to your video and I think I understand most now. It sounds really interesting and I'm excited to see how the SMTs will be implemented and how it will all work together in the end. I'm certainly happy we got the chance to gather a nice amount of SP before even more competition got onboard.
Listening to you explaining oracles and the extra need for good behaviour for actual content writers/video makers/etc though... I can't help but feel like this will create an even bigger behavioural gap between the 'good guys' and the 'bad guys'. Honest, hardworking people will have to watch where their votes are going even more (would upvoting your own post be considered bad?), while the bad guys who just upvote themselves (every article and comment) and their small circle of friends can keep on at it.
Honestly, hearing about the oracles makes me feel there has never been a bigger need to influence behaviour of the 'bad guys'. I'm not sure how I feel about this.

The truth is the future of steem is bright and better days are still ahead I could remember steem price been approximately $1 when I signed up SMT was introduced and the whole story changed earning becomes much more easy. Am guessing we will have a steem to be around $10 soon it's gonna be a gradual process though.

It is definitely hard to get anywhere on Steem, I've been a member for four months now and thanks to some curation efforts, I have made a little bit from my writing. It's not impossible, but you have to work hard and sadly if you want true visibility you have to use bid bots or be fortunate enough to get some whale upvotes on your posts to push them into trending.
SMT's are going to increase competition here, but the upside is the platform will grow and by extension the value of STEEM should go up because more people are using it on the platform, buying it to power up and so on. It's a win-win in the end.

Nice roundup. I was in some conversations in another thread about this and don’t see a monetary value case for GPT but tremendous benefit to content discovery & sorting. I was just thinking it would still rely on SP holders to “do the right thing” and reward that content monetarily. But when you combine it with the new value flows that SMTs may create, it does shift the dynamics significantly.

Very interesting @exyle. How you describe you potential experience on Dlive is how a lot of us who joined more recently feel on Steemit. Not the we are overwhelmed by account numbers but by account power.Either way the end result is the same. The one's already "powerful" get to get more.
I'm more interested in what will happen with the SMTs that create something completely new where there aren't any established people to come over to it.
What will it be like if everyone really is starting at 0. But is that even possible I wonder?
