Because there has been an increasing number of users asking what the SteemSpeak token does and what benefits they can get from staking it, I have decided to create a list of potential use cases which have been discussed with the SteemSpeak owners, and which have a good potential to be implemented. I cannot make promises about exactly what will be rolled out but SOMETHING that adds value WILL be decided upon. Here are just a few of the possibilities:
Voting rights in the discord, having a say in SteemSpeak during any disagreements
Free Accounts for steemspeak holders (or you can spend 1 steemspeak for a free account)
Advertising space in the discord using existing ad bots.
Exclusive Member benefits: We can limit the #postpromotion channel to steemspeak holders only or allow steemspeak holders without sufficient balance to post their steem posts in general chat I have also made it a tradition to reward the top 10 users staking steemspeak tokens with various steem-engine tokens. I have also given "airdrops" to the top Steemspeak holders like
of bonus pegged EOSIO assets, and steem-engine stakes.
Free Steem Invite links via SteemInvite by
and INV token and invite.steem.ninja via
. I have 200 saved up and Fyrstikken has over 7000 steeminvite links, enough to cover almost half the 16 thousand steemspeak tokens airdropped to every steemian with over 200 SP. This could allow everyone with 1 steemspeak token to get a free account by staking 1 steemspeak token for a set amount of time so they can have an invite link for their friend or family member.
At the present time, the Steemspeak token is near the top of the Marketcap list on scot.today with a 1.7 Billion dollar marketcap and Daily Volume lists with over $40 USD worth of volume in teh last 24 hours. SteemSpeak token has also been airdropped to over 16 THOUSAND steemians, criterion was having over 200SP or above. It's supply is limited to just under 1 billion tokens now that its max supply was fully issued and mostly burned with only uner 1 billion remaining in circulation but only a few thousand actually being allowed to circulate.
Another potential use case for steemspeak (and other steem-engine tokens) is that while streamingon Twitch and Vimm.tv I can even ACCEPT Steemspeak tokens for TTS Text to Speech Donations and Media (Youtube videos) played on stream, like people already use paypal to pay for... I can do it manually if 
Steemspeak tokens will need Wallets and we already have some potential web wallets like the 
We can also use this page as a potential web wallet to refer new SteemSpeak users: https://steem-engine.com/?p=history&t=STEEMSPEAK
The steem-engine.com history page can be used as a wallet, and can work like steempeak without the keychain chrome/brave extension and can be used simply with steemconnect and an active key. Of course if someone is on desktop with keychain they can also use THAT to send and receive SteemSpeak and all steem-engine.com tokens.
Steem Engine tokens will eventually have mobile apps, either for using every steem engine token or perhaps wallets for individual tokens, complete with browsers to use their posting key to write posts, and earn more of the token with built in scot browsers. We may see a steempeak mobile app with tribe browser and this could have a built in wallet for mobile that will really help make steemspeak and all steem engine tokens more legitimate in the eyes of greater crypto community. We can I am also working with 
We will also see things like BLOCK explorers and websites like scot.today adding value to the steem-engine ecosystem. https://steem-engine.rocks and https://scot.today are a great start but expect to see many more sites to organize scot based info. We will see wordpress sites about various steem-engine token and I have created a rough mockup of what a SteemSpeak.io wordpress site could look like to better explain the token to new users.
(Actual version may differ greatly from this but should give more credibility to steem engine projects, when we offer to share with them the skills to create that crisp neat slick "crypto ICO" themed websites, which usually use one of 10 various wordpress themes which we can imitate sufficiently to project an aura of competence.
I also get many users coming into SteemSpeak.com discord asking WHY they should stake their steemspeak token? And besides the various potential features being discussed ranging from free advertising space, to a free steem invite link for everyone who stakes 1 steemspeak for 1 month, to exclusive access to discord rooms with extra $rain airdrops from
But HERE is why you should stake your steemspeak tokens... SECURITY.
Like Bitcoin this token can unite our interests... keep one and you are rooting for our project, sell it and your going to be FOMOing until the token is well over $100 each and there are enough buy orders to actually sell hundreds of them ... But UNLIKE Bitcoin, you can STAKE this token, like Steempower or EOS, and this staking prevents theft because you can actually undergo a stolen account recovery feature on the steem blockchain using a recovery partner. Imagine if you will that volume will only go up for popular steem-engine coins as it has been doing. Look at the volume of steem engine coins, and imagine a SE token like steemspeak getting attention of major investors like 
People will need to buy Steem to get SteemP to buy SteemSpeak tokens.
It may not be self evident now but once there is enough demand for steemp to buy steem-engine tokens,
