Here is what I think, Hive account@dragosroua:

1. YouTube demonetization campaign hype & account creation issue...

Those YouTubers who get demonetized would move to dTube, thats for sure, just to try what the heck is this! But the benefit of moving to dTube is very overestimated, cause this kind of registration (some of my friends never got confirmation mail) is a complete turn-off. So don't be deceived by pink clouds of STEEM-coloured unicorns while this issue is unsolved.

The second concern is about not having ability to monetize your content in a long-term! Here is an example: I am motorcycle reviewer. I create videos about bikes/gear/stuff. So why the heck should I move to dTube or Steem if I'll get a reward after one week and that's all. No rewards after a single payout? Seriously? Will I consider dTube/STEEM as just another source of monetization/income? Maybe! But this kind of payout system, IMO, provokes to be opportunistic here. Quality content is not for short-term payouts.

But this is arguable cause this is blockchain, and I'm happy with the fact that everyone is using
the same set of rules, so we are on the same boat! I can live with that.

How this stuff will affect STEEM price?

STEEM token is surely has to be burned when the new account is created: more users, less supply (maybe). Less supply - possible price surge.

I will really evangelize STEEM everywhere when pewdiepie will move to dTube

If you know smth about account mining future, Hive account@dragosroua tell us more plz, cause I assume that's not gonna work (maybe I have a little information bout that). I'd be grateful so much for this info, you are witness - you know more!

2. The first wave of SMT's implementation gonna get us price surges, that's for sure!

Not sure bout how this gonna look like but "tokenization of da intanet" is overestimated too, IMO. Why should someone create a craptoken instead of using STEEM?

How this stuff will affect STEEM price?

Supply of STEEM token could decrease dramatically during the first wave of SMT's implementation. I think this is the main reason of STEEM's going to 15$.

3. This is cryptomadness. So it could be 30$+ for 1 STEEM. Why? WHY THE HELL NOT?

Cryptoawareness of people is rising day after day, so STEEM is supplied with natural userbase rise, just with time.

PLUS - more exchanges would probably list STEEM & SBD - more listings means more local price actions.

But more users = more posts = more reward in reward pool = SBD supply is rising and is going to 1$ where it should be. Or not.

IT IS MARKET WHO DECIDES WHERE THE PRICE IS GOING!!!!
