Great stuff @theycallmedan! You give me much needed enthusiasm for Steem!

I've never been too crazy about SteemPeak and always revert back to Steemit.com for the look and feel despite certain drawbacks.

Still probably the best social blockchain platform around!

Indeed.

Hopefully they cashed out!

Thanks!

Remember last SteemFest when I was like... let's go to France 🤪 !? Well I'm finally flying to visit @hightouch in Strasbourg on Tuesday this week! Lol.

"Something big is coming, but it is too big to be included in this post!" I wonder what this could be!?

Splinterlands is crushing it!

Nice work @inertia!

Steem offers some of the best UI/UX in the space but clearly that's not good enough as Steem can't hold market cap against the competition.

I like to think of Steem Engine as an SMT testnet as well. Any projects looking at building on Steem and launching an SMT probably have (or should be) already experimenting with SMT-like functionality

I don't work for Steemit, Inc anymore and there are a lot of problems with Steem. We will see if SMTs help with network effects and price stability at all! Should be fun to watch.
