SMTs are coming and there was a new post about icos you can run on them. I might run one myself but will wait to see how it goes.

Here is the link for more info: https://steemit.com/smt/@steemitblog/initial-coin-offerings-with-smts

I am excited about SMTs and what they can do for steem. But, and I'm being blunt here, a lot of people do not take steem seriously. And a lot of that has to do with the price of the coin. And if we do not charge a good amount for SMTs no one will think it is a good service. Right now it is set to $10. How can we convince a big company this is a great new tech that only costs $10.

Companies like Tron are partnering with Samsung and we are falling behind.

On top of that we REALLY need to burn 10s of millions of steem and get steem back to at least a couple of dollars if people are going to take steem as a real competitor. This is our chance to get back into the spotlight and convince people this is the network you want to build your dapp on. If we don't get back into, at least, the top 50 I don't see us onboarding a lot of devs. Price matters a lot to people.

I am open to changing the amount but 1,000 steem is a solid number. But please do more than 10 SBD and set it to steem so we can get as much off the market as we can.

We cannot say something is "an enterprise-level product," and only charge $10 for it. Honestly I would be fine if we charge $1000 and used that to get steem burnt.

How do you guys feel?
