With MIRA the Steem blockchain is the first blockchain that will reduce it's hardware costs requirements while it's aging.
It's an amazing achievement.
You will be able to run a full Steem node on commodity hardware.
This means more developers and users will be able to run a full node and the costs of witness-servers will go down a lot too.
This will decentralize this blockchain and make it unkillable.
Combine that with the Resource credit system that is already in place that prevents bloating of the blockchain and the future of Steem is bright.
Next on the list will be SMT's, communities and RC's pooling.
You don't have to wait for SMT's btw, you can already make tokens on Steem Engine and if you later choose to you can swap them to SMT's when they come out.
RC pooling will make onboarding a breeze for app developers and communities.
Building on the cheapest to run blockchain in the world and the one that has the biggest community makes so much sense.
A lot of people are already doing that. They will benefit greatly.
It's only a matter of time now before we reach critical mass.
