SMT, this is one of the hot topic in STEEM blockchain in current days and we all are awaiting to hear the big news of its' launch. Yesterday @ned confirmed again (You can watch that video here) STEEM will be the main trading pair against SMT. Moreover, @ned highlighted their vision to have 100,000 entrepreneurs and businesses on the blockchain in next 5 years of time. For me this is a big news. I am a big fan of long-term business plans. Therefore, this is a great vision for all of us.
When we check the status of STEEM market price, it seems like STEEM decided to stable at $6 margin for a while and probably this is a sign of an uptrend. Until it reach Two figure value of its' market price I would like to keep this article topic as March to 10 in next couple of weeks time.
