Thanks for the article about Steem!
Now, whether the pump was actually caused by the announcement or whether it's another reason (i.e. a delayed pump due to SMT testnet, etc), nobody can really tell.
Also, I think it's important to mention that
"Steem"has NFTs on a 2nd layer. NFTs aren't part of the Steem protocol, rather they're part of Steem Engine, which is a 2nd layer product. For anybody who isn't really sure what a 2nd layer is: a software that is utilizing the blockchain for the storage of data, with the business logic being off-chain.Usually, 2nd layer solutions are far better than what the mainstream is providing and also, they're a great way for a blockchain to be scalable. For example, Bitcoin and Ethereum will need to rely on 2nd layer solutions, otherwise, they're not able to scale.
With this said: Steem Engine is a great product and I don't want to reduce the hype around NFTs in any way!
Especially since I know that a governance model for the Steem Smart Contracts (the underlying smart contracts 2nd layer platform Steem Engine uses) is currently being developed. Which means: the same way that Witnesses govern the Steem blockchain, soon Witnesses/Block Producers will govern Steem Smart Contracts, and thus also the Steem Engine NFTs. (at least based on my current knowledge).
Wow. These are nice happenings. We have been in the bears for a while . It's high time we climb up the scales.
