What does it change for steem price?
.Steem is the gateway token for assets issued on steem blockchain via ICO, acting as trading pair for all Steem's SMTs
= Demand increase for Steem.
.Steem supply is locked into liquidity Pools by automated Market makers. Each SMT's rise the demand for steem to be locked in liquidity pools wich represents a decrease in available supply whereas demand increase to achieve the bandwidth allowance needed to perform at their highest possible rate of return in SMT ecosystems.
= Supply and liquid steem available decrease.
.Steem demand increases with proliferations of SMT ICOs net effect > 0 because of the new attention given to steem by investors and the fact once ICO issued using Steem as payment, Some of STEEM token raised are held by ICO issuers.
.Steemit network act as advertising network for all futurs SMT's and ICO, it is a real use case demonstration of security and content beeing digitally monetized by token.
Conclusion:
By law of supply and demand , steem price will increase more and more Ico's and SMT's will be issued on steem blockchain.

The SMT's annoucement is simply a game changer for the use and future valu of steem.
It's hard to valu the impact of such change, i estimate Steem marketcap to be in the 1 to 2 billions territory next 6 months.
I advice to buy steem and hold strong because steem demand from ICO's will add up with Steemit hold friendly ecosystem.
In fast demand increase scenario a good part of steem supply simply can't hit the market because it take 13 weeks to fully power down , price can skyrocket fast, and steem users have great reasons to hold anyway.
Thanks to steem blockchain ecosystem!
