Every day, there are more and more imaginative uses for SMTs.

feeling so sad because I can't earn from steemit & nobody upvote my post

Just like anything in life with great rewards, you must put in the time and effort. Keep with it, keep on doing you, stay positive and success will find you.

Hey I just saw this and don't like to hear that people are sad from this platform.

hope you like :) ✌ 🐮

I feel you @aashik. I also feel the same. Maybe we need to put more effort to reach our goals =)

@aashik... people up-voting your posts is only one way to earn. Just keep posting about something that means a lot to you and you will find a following. But also read posts from others that interest you and try to add something to the conversation. We like to engage with people that are interested in what we're doing - not bullshit but real interest. To show you what I mean I'll upvote this comment but next time you'll have to earn it ! Ha!

Looking forward seeing what use cases SMC will provide! Thanks for this.

Love your picture! Ha! Watch my blogs starting with (TOOTTC). These blogs are behind the scenes stuff on a short film we are funding with the rewards from Steemit posts. Watch along. We'll be filming Feb 9-12 in Montreal

Will check it out! :D

Brian I knew you looked familiar!! Classic scene here... hilarious!!

We should create a screenplay in regards to this surge in cryptocurrency curiosity ... you have a new follower and fan: http://www.imdb.com/videoplayer/vi1484895257?ref_=nm_rvd_vi_1Screen Shot 2018-01-24 at 4.49.01 PM.png

YOU are interesting. I like how you title ALL of your posts with the word "global." It's really..... interesting.

commenting on stupid comments

The idea is to add to the conversation. That's how you earn up-votes on comments. How is the post interesting? Did you read it?

That was a fun scene! Thanks for the memories! Ha!

Excellent. That's what I want to hear! Stay tuned.

reading the whitepapers now

Now tell me what you found out in 20 words or less.

What the most important Thing you've learned from it?

You're welcome. Now tell me what you learned. Engage and add to the conversation and we up-vote your comments!

yes, it really helped me a lot, thanks for the post friend @brian-rhodes

No, thank YOU, because YOU are a friend. Your version of "coco" is so good, it's almost like a bot wrote it!

commenting on stupid comments

Ha ha ha! Cute.

hahahaha thanks friend @littlescribe

How did it help you?

looks ok i guess.

Interesting concept

What's interesting about it?

Crypto-currency has become an appropriate metaphor for evolving human interaction. Monetizing the actual media is where the future is at.

We want our content Fast, Free, Cloud based and Confidential. Instead of driving web traffic to media in the hopes to sell ads, SMT monetized media, and its influence, is what will drive traffic to the site.

Shared Token Rewards allow entrepreneurs to set up business structures for, let's say, larger operations of content production involving more than one person.

One thing SMT doesn't account for is Click Bait(?) other than the initial $1 investment.

Digging the Rewards Pool... "which encourage[s ...] members to add value to the community through the built in rewards structure."

Sharing primed-user pools among affiliated networks will allow content authors more access to more sites and more eyes without having to branch out and create account profiles for each independent cluster on the network. Effectively, a built in digital networking agency. (Hopefully this will reduce Internet load by removing several copies of the same digital content from myriad websites.)

SMT in my opinion is a great step forward out of Commercialism back towards Humanism, in a round about fashion, albeit.

Nicely said. Now add well defined communities built on humanistic and artistic principles and we could be getting close to Thoreau's dream!

It's great to see more options being made available for indie filmmakers. In my opinion, it will lead to more innovation, more creativity and more diversity. In the past, I've been a big fan of crowfunding sites like Kickstarter as a way to involve "the crowd" in choosing what they want to see. Will have to give Smart Media Tokens a closer look... This is a brave new world for film.

Yes. SMT is kickstarter on steroids and it is a 'Brave new world! Are you an Aldous Huxley fan?

Definitely a fan of Huxley. "Brave New World" is a dystopian sci-fi classic. Sort of surprised there has never been a major Hollywood adaptation of the book. At one point, I think Ridley Scott was planning to do a film version. Seems like "dystopian sci-fi" is very marketable these days. Maybe by the 100th anniversary of the book in 2032...

Me too. It would be nice to be around for the 100th! Let's see... 94? A long shot! Ha!

SMC has so much future value. Will be interesting to see how this evolves. Steem price will take off for sure, here's my analysis on it:

STEEM & SBD - Update - Analysis (42% and 54% gains) — Steemit https://steemit.com/steem/@benkalashnikov/steem-and-sbd-update-analysis-42-and-54-gains

Looks good, I've got my fingers crossed, Ben!

Sorry. Not the place for this!

This is interesting !
Few Days ago not as good as this ! So we hope steemit Keep give us a lot big Big bag of Gaining !

I've been here a couple days and the insincerity is the first thing that stood out. There are people who share thoughtful comments and you can tell they're just trying to get a vote, but at least they put some time and effort into what they're saying.

The group that bugs me are basically e-beggars with lazy, low-effort "thank you for posting"-type content. It's like chicks fishing for compliments and attention on Insta, but instead of putting SOME work into a cute photo they just snap a pic of themselves laying in bed, messed up hair and face pushed back showing off the double chin.

Use the mute feature. Also, don't respond to them. I like the OP's post, but responding to low-value posts contributes to the problem.

Ooooh! @dunks. Maybe a little too harsh. People are finding their way. Unfortunately Steemit was first marketed as an income generator. It will take time for people to realize that the real success is in more than that. We'll also have the scammers but give people the benefit of the doubt. I'll up-vote you this time because you're new at the game. But next time try to comment on the blog by adding something to the conversation.

Wow, super comprehensive and helpful @brian-rhodes! Excellent video.

@brian-rhodes Wow this is awesome, I am a youtuber aswell, so If you have some tips. also who is atmclips. can you post what you say on the video because I dont know why I cant watch it all :(

@eljuans... Sorry. I have no idea who or what atmclips is. Here is the original url for the video. I did watch it through. There appear to be no glitches.

let me know if this helps? Thanks for watching!

how cool is an old man that you can hear

Hell, I can barely hear myself. What did ya say? Eh?

Thanks for the vlog. Just finished reading the whitepaper

What did you take from reading it?

That SMTs give anyone the power to launch and sell proof-of-Brain. And that by leveraging the concepts of inflation and token allocations by post - based voting, SMTs exit in matter where value must be distributed to users who are participating in their related content networks and applications.
Also that the launch of SMTs can be structured for ICOs with hard, soft, and no caps and can be tailored to receive steem and cryptocurrencies on other blockchains. One thing I love so much about SMTs is their immediate access to function unmanned make against the liquid asset, STEEM.
Also that the bandwidth rate limiting has made it possible for steem DEX to be the first DEX to exist without trading fees to the benefit of SMTs creators and traders alike. It was quite lengthy but I did manage to read through and it was so informative. Thanks a lot @brian-rhodes.

Good stuff. That's how you get up-votes on your comments!

Thanks a lot. More educating post sir.

You're welcome. You'll do well on Steemit!

Awesome to hear and think of for that purpose. I think with time SMT's will be funding a lot of great projects via crowdfunding like KickStarter only at much greater ease and with no middle man.

SMT's is not like kickstarter in my opinion, because the different way it works. But it does gonna help new projects like kickstarter does.

And unlike kickstarter, you and the people you upvote will be rewarded with more than just a t-shirt. If a site is set-up properly, the token could become very valuable.

Well I mean with kickstarter you're not only funded with a t-shirt it depends on what project you're funding and what reward you vouch for. But with films it be great in pre-production to be able to fund better costumes, sets, special fx, etc. in advance and then as a result the users who fund that would get digital access or DVD/Blu-Ray (whatever medium at that time) copies once released. Also, I think a lot of people love seeing the process of how a film or show develops so a behind the scenes look at what you're directly funding potentially with SMT's could be a great avenue for independent filmmakers and fans everywhere. Either way great to see this being discussed more and more.

I understand its content @zacherybinx, but what differences exist between crowdfunding and KickStarter?. And what could that reward be? @brian-rhodes
Regards!

A real simple example of this not in film-making but in it's neighboring field is music. Fans can fund albums easily and as a result essentially pre-order their copy. This allows the starving artists to make the artistic decisions they want vs. a label having so much control and receiving x percentage, which if you haven't checked out the documentary Artifact I highly suggest it. [http://www.imdb.com/title/tt2370718/] So many of the creative individuals are getting screwed by terrible contracts and such. Blockchain and SMT quite simply will help a lot more individuals profit from their work and create new avenues for others to do so. I think ultimately SMT's are a win for individuals but especially the creative types! Worldwide it'll be easier than ever to get the funding you need for your small project. It makes finding a niche and completing a project from home easier than ever. Great time to be alive in that respect!
