The misinformation and speculation about what SMTs are and how they will impact STEEM are flying. There is so much misinformation out there being presented because people do not understand the vision. They don't understand how the applications are connected by Steem.
The FUD and information is flying due to the lack of information coming from Corporate. Might be good to get a handle on the Message. If you do not manage the message your competition and detractors will.
There is room for all of this speculation and inaccuracy because the community and investors have not been updated and very few understand the vision and are twisting it due to their lack of understanding.
Might be a great idea to do a demo of "How a SMT" might work, how it might help the price of Steem.
SMTs are late, being mismarketed, etc.
I suggest creating videos/posts/discussion groups to share a vision of now it might work?
Or just let the investors guess until it is launched.
