Vice Announces It Is Getting Into Smart Media Tokens

Through the use of Smart Media Tokens on Steem, Vice is planning to monetize media and content delivery through their services and platform. Vice have also announced plans to monetize their "Get Paid to Watch Porn" service with SMTs.

You might be thinking it odd to incorporate cryptocurrency like this with pornography content delivery, but you should keep in mind that the porn industry, along with the gaming industry, has been largely responsible for the growth of new technologies relating to the internet, graphics, video rendering, and more. The porn industry is also one of the largest, multinational markets in existence; the perfect vehicle for introducing the mainstream to Steem.

The tokens are listed to go in sale during Q4 of 2017

How is this not all over SteemIt, it was released 8 days ago? This is HUGE news unless i'm really misunderstanding something.

Also, how are they planning to launch in Q4 '17 if SMTs aren't supposed to be ready until Q1 '18?

I'm confused with dates too.

I did a post about it. Do you know what exchanges are selling the tokens?

Why is this the first time that I've heard this news when it came out on the 18th?

Kind of strange. Seems like big news to me.

Perfect name for the coin, btw - very clever!

It's big news indeed. People are afraid of porn, I guess.

Perhaps for a good reason.

I'm not sure that I agree with Sigmund Freud about his theories on "penis envy", but I'm willing to bet my soul that "big penis envy" is a real thing! And you can thank most porn out there for reminding us of this.

This goes under the "all publicity is good publicity" category.

While some moralists might be outraged, you are correct. Porn has always been a driver of technology. They are one of the industries that adopt things early while having a large say in what succeeds and what doesnt.

This actually is great news.

Vice is going to be on the steem blockchain.

@netuoso I have been getting LIED to by regular TV all my life, I might as well make a few SHEKELS watching Porn instead.

Why not. I agree with u

Wait a minute!
They said APPICS will have the first SMT.

The news so important and only two views after one hour. It looks like we all busy with complaining.

Do you know what exchanges are selling the Vice Media Tokens? Where can we buy some?

do you know already where to get them? i m looking too! :)

if you hold steem then you will be given SMT from VICE I think.
Otherwise you can sign up for pre-crowdsale on their website, that´s what I did about a month ago... It starts tomorrow...
