Bottom line (IMO) without SMT this Hive thing is a smouldering peat bog.
Burning yes, but did man achieve progress with embers or with ACTUAL FIRE!?

On "BLOCKTIVITY" ..the whale club here is tiny. Most left long ago. The ones that are still here don't really post. They just make their rewards plugged in to curation trails. Then sip tea or coffee in discord rooms, not sure what they talk about but likely it's mandatory to praise themselves on how well they impress themselves on twitter.

Back at camp, the poor people here try build a little camp fire here and there to stay warn and cook the few fish they caught in the river (some undersized barely reaching $10). It's a very peculiar system that this became. This was predicted by a smart person named @teknow a while back.. here is that prophetic post:

oh wait I'm teknow..

Anyway see that's the thing.. what is here now IS MOST DEFINITELY SUPERIOR to other chains. THE COMMUNITIES are the TRUE VALUE here. Regardless of token price. Without that SMT though, they aren't really treated accordingly. There isn't really a way to do that. There is no system that grants equal share of contribution for engagement. It's very selective rewards as the current system. SMT needed to happen so long ago. It still can happen because luckily the committed folks singing around campfires are the beating heart here.

So again, the point is SMTs need to happen.
Some time before we here, in The Milky Way, merge with Andromeda though.
Because aliens are believed to be far more intelligent than humans.
They might have blockchain working a lot better than us.
