Steemit and Steem getting some Press!
Look what I stumbled upon regarding the new SMT (smart media token) announcement:
As a very wise man once said:
"Move over Ethereum, Steem is about to monetize the whole internet."

The entirety of the release can be read below:
"Steemit, the first and largest blockchain-based social network, today announced the launch of a new cryptocurrency product that will seamlessly connect content-hosting websites to new revenue streams, consumer bases, and development opportunities.
This fall, Steemit will release new software that allows top publications, mainstream publishers, and social media platforms to create native tokens based on the Steem blockchain, allowing companies to integrate a customizable and intelligent token system into their website, portal, or platform.
Smart Media Tokens (SMTs) give anyone the power to launch and sell Proof-of-Brain tokens, which are tokens distributed by “upvote” and “like” based algorithms.
The protocol enables anyone to launch Smart Media Tokens (SMTs) for their website, app, or community, from The New York Times to Subreddits to an independent WordPress blog, with the potential to create transaction revenue in ways that paywalls and subscriptions continue to come up short. SMTs are designed to reward publishers and consumers with native tokens based upon their contributions to the platform, based on likes, votes, views, shares, and comments.
CEO of Steemit Ned Scott said:
“Print is dying, ad integration is inefficient, distracting, and generally unwanted by consumers, all of which has led to a widespread battle to monetize content. SMTs represent the new frontier of a tokenized internet. We are going to see native tokens across thousands of mainstream websites where content is curated by the crowd, and publications and content hosts can establish dedicated revenue streams to allow richer and smarter content targeted directly to a user base.”

SMTs will be a native protocol on the Steem Blockchain, one of the most scalable and efficient blockchains in the industry, allowing content publishers of any size to implement revolutionary new revenue models based on consumer engagement and interaction. The Steem Blockchain is faster and larger than the Bitcoin and Ethereum blockchains combined.
It has 3 second block times with zero fees (a feature SMTs will share) and is capable of quickly processing a large number of micro-transactions required for any media entity across the globe. SMTs can be run by any publisher without changing any website infrastructure or functions. This marks a significant step toward bringing blockchain and cryptocurrency to mainstream media in an accessible and attainable way, breaking down barriers to enter the fastest growing industry in fintech, while creating a mutually beneficial bridge between consumers, content, and media revenue.
Scott added:
“Steemit represents the future of the internet and SMTs are how we will deliver that token-infused future for many, many more websites. Any website, application, community, or guild will be able to launch one of these tokens and integrate with various web interfaces in seconds. These tokens will be far-and-away the most user-friendly, inexpensive, secure and, most importantly, monetizable way of launching your own coin, fundraising for an organization, growing your community, and generating revenue for your enterprise.”
Steemit has experienced exponential growth since its launch in May 2016, with hundreds of thousands of users on the platform."

Love these lines
Keep it up nicely projected
Thanks to you & Steemit platform
Thanks, that quote gives me chills when I read it. :)
I wonder if I will be able to incorporate this into my website which I am planning to launch, I am building a WIX storefront at the moment. I would like to get my website built a token for customer spending a certain amount in the store would be amazing. I already downloaded the white paper earlier need to research study and learn. Guess I will learn alot from the community.
Yes. Feel free to reach out to @Ned or @andrarchy . I am sure he (they) would be happy to help answer any questions you might have related to your business idea.
Thank you for the info,very interesting
greetings @jrcornel
INCREDIBLE! A few years such events could not even be imagined. The importance of virtuality! I'm glad to be part of this process. We're all lucky, as I think we here and see this progress, participate in it. The creators Steemit - great people and great minds, I ADMIRE THEM!
Great article, full STEEM ahead...
Hello,, @jrcornel, its breaking news for steeem community, much thankful to you for sharing in very detail about "smart media token" very helpful and useful software, i think mostly steamers are much excited after knowing about that.
UpVoTEd, FoLloweD
Great we have to promote steemit more better
it will be huge if steemit has a great marketing tool
Agreed. I think marketing will come, but it's not time for that yet. It actually is growing pretty well right now considering there hasn't been much official marketing done yet. :)
It seems it's big news all over steemit, read articles about it from @ned first, then @donkeypong and @cryptoctopus also wrote about it. I hope soon we can dump the control freaks like Google with their FB, Instagram and YouTube for a free and fair similar system that will not step over people and ban them from their sites for no reason whatsoever. Thank God & @ned for steemit, it's truly one of kind. Cheers
It truly is. The idea has almost limitless potential. It will be interesting to see how much of that is realized over the coming year/years.
Yes it does seem it's potential is limitless and hopefully many on steem blockchain will participate in making it the next big thing for social media. Cheers
Good to see, thank you.
