If the SMT still are not connected to real goods and services then they are just adding another layer onto the current problem of people powering down to get value. Why is it that people are wanting these tokens? What is going to make them want to convert their current cash into STEEM to make them want to buy it? Or will it be something else that people can earn with a time investment which they will power down to get value for and then compound the problem of downward pressure on STEEM.
