STEEM: Compounding Your Way To Big Results Part II

in steem •  7 years ago 

Yesterday I posted an article detailing how STEEM is the ultimate compounding machine. Everything we do on here builds upon what we did before. By the same token, the activities we are taking today will net us results tomorrow. As SP goes into our accounts, we realize an increase in VP which helps to further increase the SP we receive.

For those who missed that article, here it is:

https://steemit.com/steem/@taskmaster4450/steem-compounding-your-way-to-big-results-warren-buffet-would-be-in-awe-if-he-understood

The amazing aspect of STEEM is you can get paid in many different ways. Just focusing upon the system itself, we know that the secret is to post, comment, and upvote. This allows us to get curation rewards for our upvotes, compensation for the articles we post, and payment for the comments we make to others. For those inclined, there is also the possibility of becoming a witness or a developer which also has additional payouts.

But wait there is more.

On Steemit, along with some of the other apps, you will find things such as contests which enable one to "win" or earn more SP. These are often given by different groupings in an effort to promote these sites (while having some fun). At the same time, individuals also will host a contest with a few SBD as the prize. From what I understand, some of these contests can have some pretty healthy payouts.

Before going any further, let me ask you a question:

Have you ever had your bank come to you and say, for having your dollars in our bank, we are going to shower you with different currency as a way to say "thank you"? I know I have not.

Does this really happen?

The closest I can think of is when an investment bank puts together an IPO. At that time, it will go to those companies that do a lot of trading with the bank (ie pay it a lot of commissions) and give them a piece of the action. With the prices these entities are getting in at, it is free money. They get to buy in at a below market price and sell it as soon as the bell opens at a much higher price. It is a nice thank you.

Did you realize the same thing exists on STEEM? There are two instances which have stated this is going to happen and I surmise many more down the road.

Under this scenario, Steemians are literally going to see tokens multiply before their eyes. I have stated the Internet is a giant copying machine and now it has come to the world of money. What do you think is going to happen? Money gets copied.

The Smart Media Token protocol could generate a great deal of abundance for the holders of SP. So far, both Vice and Appics announced they are setting aside tokens for Steemians.

Vice is, I believe, forking the blockchain. In doing so, they are taking what is presently available on here and doing it themselves. This is akin to Bitcoin being forked resulting in Bitcoin Cash. Like the holders of Bitcoin, holders of STEEM will be compensated. According to their white paper, they are setting aside 400M tokens for STEEM holders. If this applies to all STEEM, that equates to about 1.5 Vice tokens for each STEEM token one is holding. However, this amount could be greater if they are only offering it to holders of SP.

Either way, that is what I call multiplication.

It is also called free money.

Another project is called Appics. This is one that was going to be designed using the SMT protocol but, since it was delayed, they are doing their ICO on Ethereum and them moving to the steem blockchain. Again, like Vice, they have a portion of their total distribution allocated to Steemit. According to their information, 5% of the total 240M will be given to Steemit. This equates to 12M.

While a much smaller amount than Vice, it is still free tokens. According to my math, each STEEM equates to about .04 XAP. While this does not add up to much when you take the $.15 ICO price, there is the possibility that this token heads much higher. It is an app that is going directly on this blockchain and is designed to take on Instagram. With such a small total distribution, 240M, if this gets any type of activity on it, we will see the price move into dollars.

My point here is not to forecast the price of these tokens. I just wanted to illustrate how holding STEEM will actually multiply the number of coins you have. As I stated earlier, I expect this to continue when there are more tokens made via the SMT protocol. It would only make sense to give those who are already using the system tokens to interact with those sites that are just adopting it.

These "airdrops" are literally free money and show how STEEM really compounds your earnings. Just holding what is given to you carries a good possibility of creating wealth for yourself. It only takes one or two tokens becoming popular for it to really increase one's wealth.

What better compounding mechanism is there than being handed free money?

Yeah it's amazing what you get just form holding STEEM. I have signed up on APPICS a couple of weeks ago and I have accumulated 340 tokens totally for free and I'm really looking forward to this project. I think it has huge huge potential and if the price will move into dollars, I won't be surprised! If APPICS succeeds, STEEM will also grow and price will probably increase. I haven't heard about Vice yet, but I'll definitely check it out!

Appics will help STEEM since it is going onto this blockchain. We know that one is guaranteed. Hence, their tokens will be paired with STEEM which makes the desire for STEEM increase. Also, by being on here, Appics will need bandwidth which is priced in STEEM, another way that STEEM is going to have its demand increased.

Vice was going to use the SMT but then they decided to fork it. Using a similar concept from what I can see...actually just copying it all.

How did you get 340 Appics tokens?

I got those tokens from the bounty program. When you log in to APPICS website, there's a bounty button. For example, you can get 3 tokens just for a single Facebook like, 5 tokens for a comment. So just by liking and commenting on all APPICS post on Facebooks you can generate a nice amount of tokens. Also, they give tokens if you make a post about APPICS, so actually you can link this post you made and get some tokens for that as well.

Ah ok...I linked my Steemit account but did not do too much with the other stuff. I dont even have much of a facebook account. I dont even know if I remember the username and stuff.

I will look further into it...I like free tokens.

You should definitely look into it! I have over 600 stakes from the bounty already xD xD It probably isn't much, but as you said, free stuff lol!!

If a stake is a full token, 600 out of a 240M total distribution is a pretty good amount.

Yes I will look into it further.

This is definitely something to embrace since it will be on this blockchain.

We don't know yet whether 1 stake equals 1 xap. I asked one the APPICS team members, he said they haven't decided that yet and that can only be determined after the ICO depending on how the token sale goes. so I'm thinking the better the token sale goes the lesser each stake will be.

based upon the pre-ICO sale, it looks like it will go very well.

ICO are eaten up...all of them....this is one that actually looks legit.

So how do you think this will work exactly, where will these smart media tokens be deposited, or would we have to use our private Steem key somehow in order to claim them?

I honestly do not know. With it being the same code on this blockchain, I presume they could expand the existing wallet system to handle it. Since all tokens are going to be paired with STEEM and, I presume, added to the internal exchange, there has been thought of how to integrate it all.

There is a lot that really has to be done so I see why it is taking so long.

That said, I think most of us are anxious for some of these changes.

Hell, if all we have to do is just sit back, and watch them fill our wallets as they are dropped... that'd be fucking great! 🐳

Yeah would suck to be us if that happened.

How is that for a shift from the bankster driven world...we sit back and collect money airdropped to us without doing a single thing.

Life is good.

Ha ha, indeed!

I can't wait for my Encyclopedia tokens either, it will be nice to finally experience what those Bitcoiners experienced a couple of times with BCash and BGold.

Great post. STEEM is such a no-brainer. SMT will be a huge game changer. When IPO happens on wall street, only privileged ones get the best deals. Here everyone participate. Long live the crypto:).

Bingo at bloomberg215.

You hit the nail on the head. Unlike Wall Street where only the privileged few get involved we are seeing a situation where all can benefit. Wall Street actually screws over the average person while, on here, it is the average person who benefits.

This is one of the reasons why I believe cryptos are a foregone conclusion. The average person can benefit....there is no other medium out there where new money is handed to them. Instead it goes through banks which means it has to be extended as debt before the average person gets a hold of it.

I 100% agree, and always hated the rich get in first bullshit on Wall Street!

absolutely right dude

There is an interesting Freakanomics podcast that talks about banks offering an interest lottery.... whereby one person a month wins everyone's interest for that month... but in that scenario everyone else has to lose for someone to win.

In this scenario there are no losers.
People who held their free Bitcoin Cash must be laughing, it's been in the top 5 cryptocurrencies at least since October last year.

Vice and Appics will be exactly like that for us.
I'm not a porn guy, but I'm really excited about Vice. There are so many documentaries on Netflix about performers getting screwed over by their own industry... the performers initially make money, but it gets less and less and their lives get ruined. Vice will help bring that power back to the performers... and I also wonder if viewers might be more generous given their donations will be in crypto as opposed to credit cards where a statement is sent to their family home.

Very, very interesting times ahead.

Yes I think it is all wonderful news. People tend to get upset about Vice on moral issues. That is their right. But from a financial aspect, it is one that really could take off. And you are right, blockchain gives more power to the individuals who are actually involved. We see the "screwing" albeit not literally, in the music industry. The artists make peanuts while the record companies rake it in.

Blockchain and cryptocurrencies change all that. Over the course of the next few years. with the tokenization of the world, we will see many means whereby people get funding and incomes from many different sources.

I have absolutely no problem with people having moral issues with Vice, as you said, that's their right.

Regardless of where someone lands on the morality of porn, I don't think anyone can deny that A.) It's a massive industry with billions attached to it and B.) As an industry it has driven technological advances that the rest of the entertainment industry/the world has enjoyed.

Providing tokens to Steemians is genius, we are already trained to vote for content we like, but I can tell you this... I'm never going to sell my Vice tokens until I retire.

I agree with you...the upside for Vice is enormous.

It really is the first of its kind but will not be the last. However, they are trying to become another STEEM in the sense of using the same curation/reward system for their content creators.

It will be interesting to see what projects develop on these blockchains (STEEM and VICE) since they are the same. And what ones actually have tokens created.

I read last night about a new project on here called Dporn. It will be interesting to see where that goes.

@taskmaster4450
Man, the big opportunity just keeps recirculating opportunity, the magic giving /receiving circle of Steemit.

I have getting exceeding band width warning signs a I try to post have I voted to much?
great read as always
L

It's so funny that I'm reading this post while JUST learning about Appics last night. I can't believe that fell under my radar but then again this is all so new to me.

This is what is so amazing about Steemit and the entire Steem blockchain...There is so many cool things in the pipeline, it's hard to keep up with it all.

Air drops, ICO's, new creations on the blockchain.....It's an exciting time to be involved!

That is true for all of us @jongolson.

There is a lot here and no one person can have a handle on it all. That is why it is helpful to read different articles PLUS read the comments. In many posts, there is as much wisdom and information in the comment section as in the article itself.

There is a wealth of knowledge on this blockchain and it is only growing. We are going to see many more people joining in the future which means we can impart what we learn to all of them.

At first this is a great mystery but then, after a little research, one realizes exactly the gold mine we are standing upon. The future is very bright.

How far the rabbit hole really goes lol

Agree 100%! Gold mine is an understatement for sure! Thanks for reply :)

Which one?

The STEEM? I have been digging consistently for the last 4 months and am nowhere near the bottom.

So it is a while. LOL

The problem for me right now is that steem is more worthwhile as an investment of my time than my job :))) but until crypto becomes mainstream it would be difficult to live of blogging.
Speaking of airdrops I still haven't received my manna yet.

Yes I can identify...blogging is more profitable than my job yet it is hard....plus I want to build wealth so I am not taking my STEEM out but powering up.

As for Manna, I havent heard anything either. I know they were updating the wallet system.

All we can do is await the next email with the updates. I am hoping it is soon.

Steemit was my introduction to any and all types of cryptocurrency, I am a totally new to this and find it overwhelming to be honest! I have been mostly sticking to buying Sp and powering up, but that was to increase my Vp so I could make a difference with my votes.
I am slowly starting to understand things thanks to your blogs, it is exciting times!! Thank you:)

Thank you for the comment @karenfoster.

I think that is going to be a common story...that STEEM is people's first exposure to cryptocurrencies. If you havent done so already, I would suggest you click on the link at the end of my post and sign up for Manna....that is another token that is going to be given out freely once the updated wallet system is completed.

Over time, this will come. There is tremendous opportunity in cryptocurrencies for those who are involving themselves at this time. It is great that you are powering up when you can...that will be of great help to you down the road. As the price of STEEM increases, it makes it harder for people to buy in at higher levels. meaning those with the SP are going to rank higher in terms of their contributions to the blockchain.

This is one of the things I'm most excited for, gaining tokens for other platforms could be extremely beneficial, especiaaly when a few bust into the top 100.

Once one of these coins performs at least decently we may be seeing quite a few more as well. Only two announced? That's nothing compared to the potential we have here

Things will be much different when the token price is even $20. At that price, things get very interesting around here. I am not sure when we will get there but it could be sooner than we all think. A big February might do it.

This allows us to get curation rewards for our upvotes, compensation for the articles we post, and payment for the comments we make to others.


Every time I read that, my eyes shine. The future of Steemit is promising, no other page that I know does something similar, I hope that Steemit remains faithful to its principles, because in what the success of the page begins to be known by the rest of the people, there will be many imitators.

Yes @vieira. The system is set up to make one reward others. It is impossible to have huge success on here unless one is helping others. Upvotes are our stock in trade and giving them out to others is what benefits us over time.

Free money is great, they will help steem become more in demand. In general, Steem gives people a lot of ways to convert their time into money.

Бесплатные деньги это великолепно, они помогут steem стать более востребованным. Вообще, Steem дает людям массу способов конвертировать свое время в деньги.

I haven't recieved anything from a bank since 1980, it was a toaster for opening a CD. Banks just take, take, take....

Task, so what's the best account to open up to get free drops? I know you said that your Ether account had some free tokens deposited to it. Any others that might have potential? TIA.

I do not know....as I mentioned the other night I just happened to go into myetherwallet and there were tokens there...I dont know what they were placed there for.

I think STEEM might be a good one.....looks like we are sitting on the start of something very big LOL

Right, this is an opportunity only people in the crypto world have. When Facebook had its ipo it didn't airdop shares to everyone who owned shares in Google.

Just one more reason the ROI in this sector is higher than any other.

Thanks for the post.

Keep Steeming!

And they certainly didnt airdrop a bunch of stock to all the people who used Facebook and had been posting on it for years.

Lol, I didn't know about Appics. Thank you for the information.

I think as Steem is gaining more and more traction, this events will be something regular. All we need on Steem is a Forward-visioned ICO that has a lot of potential and they airdrop some on SP holders.

It is incredible how many ways there are for Steem to moon.

Yes there are a ton of ways that this blockchain, hence the token, can absolutely explode.

Appics looks like it is going after the Instragram market. I used Steepshot a few times but, from what I understand, Appics has a lot more functionality. The fact that they are bringing out their own token is a bonus. Plus it will be nice to see what kind of traffic, if any, it generates.

Either way, Steemians will benefit. To start, there is some kind of airdrop...secondly, there is something else paired with the steem token. And finally, whatever bandwidth they require will have to be purchased in STEEM.

I got this from vice industry token:

"The airdrop will be respective to the amount of steem as well as steem power held at time of the snapshot. The snapshot occurred at block 18,500,000 on Dec 29 2017"

Thanks for the 411 @biginvestor.

That is of great help. So about a month ago they took the snapshot. That makes sense. They did mention block 18,500 in their white paper....so it appears almost everyone on here gets some tokens.

That is good....

Thank you for your article, please as a new user I want to ask. Between keeping your Steem in your wallet and powering it up to sp which is better assuming you don't want to take it out as fiat currency for a while? Thank you

Powering up is the best idea because it does a couple things for you.

To start, the present inflation rate is 9.25%. To prevent the holders of SP, ie those who invested in the platform, from suffering a loss, they are protected from that by receiving additional tokens.

Also, as your SP increases, so does your VP which means you can upvote at a higher amount. The amount of SP is what determines your "contribution" to the blockchain hence, the more you have, the better it is for you.

Keep in mind if you do need the money, it is a 13 week scale down system...meaning you get 1/13th your money each week. This prevents massive runs on STEEM while also protecting against one's account being wiped clean if someone else gets your key.

Wow I had no idea APPICS was doing an airdrop on steemit too!! Do you happen to know on which block they're gonna do the airdrop? Appics seems very very promising, and given they're moving on our blockchain after the ICO, lot of steemian will be supporting and using APPICS too, pushing the price of XAP to go higher as well....compounding effect all over again I guess!!

No I didnt read anywhere at what point the snapshot will be taken.

I agree XAP looks promising. We will see how it pans out but with the existing user base of STEEM being so dedicated, it appears this could be another winner. It looks like they are taking in instagram with a more feature rich app than Steepshot has. Either way, the more apps on here, the better.

There is plenty of room for everyone to win....

Especially those who are holding SP. 😁

I am now targeting powering up to 500 SP first. And to be honest one of your earlier posts kinda gave me the wake up call to power up!! I am just waiting for the SBD to steem conversion go up to 1.5 or more and I'll have 500 SP xD xD

That is a great goal...get there as soon as you can.

I power up immediately since there is an equal chance of the SBD to STEEM ratio going down as there is it going up.

I try not to play the market like that...the market can win. But that is just me.

I hope it does go up to 1.5...then we all will be powering up at a quicker pace.

I was stupid to not power up when the rate was at 2. I kept thinking what difference is this lame 500 SP gonna make...I was always comparing to other people's SP and when I see successful ones having about 10k 20k 30k SP I got really discouraged and at one point i actually left steemit for about 2 months, which was a big mistake.

I recently decided to give it another go and came across a post of yours where explained even 500 SP is worth a lot!! Since my return, I have been lucky to get a decent payout on a lot of my posts xD xD
But you deserve a lot of credit for keeping my spirits high!!

Thank you for the nice comment @simplifylife.

I am glad I could help lift your spirits up.

It is true, when we compare ourselves to people with larger accounts, we lose perspective. If we use if for motivation ala if they can make it so can I, then it is great. However, when we get discouraged, that is not a great thing to have happen.

To start, we all must remember, no matter what we are getting, it is most likely more than what we received on all the other social media sites we were on in our lives.

Secondly, the payouts, even on the not so well voted posts, is still significant. Even 50 cents a post adds up and with SBD so high, that is highly possible.

Thirdly, as the price of STEEM increases, which it should, we are going to see it take a lot more money to equate what you have in your account. You already see the effects of buying in at $2 as opposed to now. Imagine this difference if/when STEEM hits $20.

For that reason, I think those powering up now are going to be in fabulous position. Even a few hundred SP will be worth a great deal at some point.

Yep exactly, that's the point I was missing, that down the line, even not so high SP right now will become worth a lot more!!

What's a snapshot?

Very good analysis. But you forgot one very important benefit of the steemit platform. We compounding our knowledge. In the time I'm on steemit I learned about crypto, trading, and investing. That alone doubled my holdings.

You bring up a great point @oldtimer.

There is probably as much crypto knowledge on this site as there is in any other single place out there. From the technical side of things to the marketing and general knowledge, it is amazing.

Navigating through the crypto world is not easy. One other aspect, it is easier to have practical application. When one is on here, he or she is indulging in crypto since payment is in STEEM. Then one learns what to do with it and how to convert it.

That was an aspect of SMTs I didn’t really think about. Thanks for pointing it out. Exciting times.

Amazing we overlook the "free" part of the entire equation.

If SMTs can be used in 50 tokens, how many of them will offer tokens to existing Steemians.

Wouldnt you offer a portion of the tokens you created to the existing base in an effort to get your tokens out there?

  ·  7 years ago (edited)

For my memory project I do not plan to do something like this. Instead I delegate the coins to the memory community who have already achieved things. Having Steemians ruining the price by selling airdrops os not ideal for a small niche like that.

WOW! I had no idea what Appics was, but I'll 100% be checking it out right after replying here. Thanks, and yes, sounds promising and another powerful string to the STEEM bow.

Another compounding element which I don't think gets touched on much, but has huge potential, is Steemians using the money and attention they gain on the platform to build real world businesses, or brands.

One of the biggest benefits of blogging, for example, is to gain an audience who shares your views and follows what you say. And that's already been shown to be a hot, and very lucrative ticket to launching books, movies, personal and business brands.

On Steemit, you earn even as you're building your audience, which is amazing in itself, but if you're building that audience to launch a brand, or business from...

I think more whales, orcas and dolphins should be thinking about life & business outside of the platform. The bigger you get on the platform and the more your wealth is tied to it, the higher your exposure to risk.

Never build your empire on someone else's land

I'm a huge fan of STEEM and Steemit, and will be heavily invested myself, and I really can't see how it could fail. But the reality is, that it could.

So, make hay while the sun's shining, but don't keep all your wealth as paper wealth. Taking some profits off the table, which takes away from the compounding effect, is still the smart thing to do.

There are some more details on their website here...

https://vicetoken.com/faq

I havent seen anything either.....I have no idea how they are going to do it.

I updated my post with a link in between our posts.

Someone posted down below that a snapshot of the blockchain was taken at the end of December and all STEEM holders at that time will get Vice tokens.

Thank you, can't wait for the airdrop.

I always knew powering up my steem was the best move.
Do we have to do anything to claim our forked tokens or is it like bitcoin cash where as long as we hold our bitcoin private keys there will be a way to claim our forked token?

Steem will have more and more smart media tokens, millions of incoming users, and hopefully more functions that require burning steem...all these will push steems price over $100!! Can't wait, HODLER for life

@taskmaster4450 I like FREE and yes I know that we are here so EARLY on the STEEM Block Chain that a year or two from now we will look back and say why did I not get even more STEEM POWER ?

You're not the only one... believe me my friend.

Thank you so much sir for this very vital and timely information. Please do let us know when these money multipliers become functional.

Hello taskmaster !
We have made a group of around 5 people and we are promoting steemit in a country (Nepal) where cryptocurreicies are banned and you may even be arrested for using it. We are organizing weekly and daily contest to increase the quality of Nepali Steemians from months now. There quality has increased from posting a normal photo with no description to posting something useful. We are even planning to make an ecosystem to buy and sell Steem and SteemDollars from Nepal itself. At present buying and selling cryptocurrencies are almost impossible. We are rewarding people to bring their friends on this platform.
I have been with you from my personal account @pathi.

We want support from well established steemians like you

Please if you have some time please check @teamnepal. You mentioning something about @teamnepal will be very helpful for us !

Thank You

Thank you so much for this post
I appreciate that

As usual amazing post sir

Nice post sir.You always uploads interesting and important post sir.Thanks for sharing with us.Upvote and resteem done.IMG_3437.GIF

sir its an informative article.i think it is important for us.
thanks for sharing.
please carry on your task....

No doubt Steem has a good future ahead! I love this project.

Holding extra tokens without monitoring the price everyday is just the right thing to do. There are too much pursue in this space and that would be too overwhelming for one.

Stick to a few with real value and work on it consistently with quality, this is my motto in Steem. And, thanks for the explaination on the coming SMT, now I got a clearer picture.

If the level of adoption for SMTs really takes off we could get showered in tokens from all sorts of projects. And that's great because you could build on those that you like, and sell off the ones you don't want to support, using the proceeds to...buy more STEEM!

Thanks for the post. I can visualize it now. All those SMTs distributed to users who are on steemit is going to rock this platform beyond the moon. Can not wait when that happens.

Nice...
please fot me puja its

you create a great news...its useful to us...i impressed to see it...i hope everybody like your post...thanx for shear it

This is so great! You got the great point here......

The 8th wonder of the world compound interest. Great post. Very motivating.

In one of my comments to your posts, I wrote that I'm new in the world of Steemit and cryptocurrencies. And every day I wonder, how much new there. I was surprised, that Steem is also connected with tokens and other currencies. I reread the post and try to put information in my head. Thank You!

Awesome information!

Indeed sir! I agree with you :) Can't imagine how we get paid without investing cash and just posting something good that would help other people. In addition, Steemit is a platform which you could share you knowledge in order to help someone and where the people with more info excel among others. Therefore, money isn't hard to find but MONEY IS UNLIMITED and I could say, 5 years from now or more, maybe, no one will ever starve again. Hopefully. :) Anyways you always nail your posts sir :D I kept on following your post and its really as informative as it was before(your past posts)Keep steeming sir! keep Inspiring people :D

That is the goal...that there is no poverty.

In this era, there is no reason for it. We can create enough wealth to help everyone. For this reason, I am involved in STEEM and projects like Manna which were designed to eliminate world wide poverty.

We are going to see some radical changes around the world in the next 5-10 years.

In one of my comments to your posts, I wrote that I'm new to the world Steemit and cryptocurrencies. And every day I wonder how much new there. I was surprised that Steem is also connected with tokens and other currencies. I reread the post and try to put information in my head. Thank You!

Very interesting and important post.
salute you .

I'm super excited for what the future holds. I did not know that developers actually did this, and I am grateful for them. This gives huge potential to people who really concentrate and stay up to date with what is going on.

Vice is a token for PORN. get paid while u watch . lol Crowdsale is FEB 1st!

go to my blog, I wrote an article on the VICE coin.

hey dear @taskmaster4450, This post made my day indeed. I wrote your previous blog and I was in some confusion about STEEM is the ultimate compounding machine But this blog post made me clear. Awesome stuff dear. Steem is really our asset and saviors of many. All the best and Keep it up your good work!

I have found it to be true in the sense that digital currencies are being forked and thus granting people free money.I checked APPICS today and it looks like it has some potential to increase traffic towards Steemit also resulting better SEO and alexa rankings as well as pure rise in Steem value . Cannot quite believe that such opportunity has been almost unseen until now and has yet to be discovered by many.

Great!! You are awesome @Taskmaster4450 DQmZB7zENGZGEUGErxoLmvC2eq5izqJcEc2fEtmwTfnc1pS.pngDQmPvziZjvqGVmWF87b7gtwyebBQx7gThMdiDN8BRSVHfsS_1680x8400.png

So Vice is forking with a big balance? That's another chance to sell it off and buy steem if it doesn't appeal personally.

Yep. Free tokens to do with as one pleases. I would imagine it will be pretty easy to convert to STEEM. Since they arent using the SMT tech, or going to be on the steem blockchain for that matter, it will not be paired with STEEM. Appics probably will be since that is going to end up on this blockchain.

So an outside exchange might need to be used.

Either way, people can hold for appreciation or cash out as they see fit.

weill i am trying to undestand

Very interesting - I definitely need to look into the various options to compound Steem. It certainly sounds like there are free tokens available for the taking (still trying to wrap my head around this). From a historical perspective, all these new coins and tokens remind me of the Internet frenzy around 1999-2000 -- back then, you had virtual currencies like Flooz, Beenz, DigiCash...As I understand, they were also used as part of promotions and loyalty incentive programs. For example, you got Beenz for clicking on stuff and watching videos. At the end of the day, I guess it's best to look for tokens and coins that have true value and that can be easily traded back into Steem.

Learned something new about Vice and Sola from the comments here. How good are these platforms. Have you tried them? Are they better than STEEM?

Friend like everything in this life, build a solid present to have a desired future. Thanks for this great help post. Regards!

Great post, I've just followed your blog and I'm really enjoying going through these posts. This one had so much that I didn't realise about SMTs, I've actually just gone and signed up to the Appics newsletter, as a photographer this is exactly the kind of thing that gets me even more excited for the platform! Thanks for sharing!

Sounds awesome! I didn't have any bitcoin (I was still very, very new to crypto) when it forked and had BCC. Now, hopefully, I get to experience the joys of having free money just for having STEEM. I wonder where they'll give the tokens though? Would the Steemit wallet be tweaked? Can't wait for more details! :D

great post
