And once the RC markets, SMT curation investment, oracles and the like come, it changes again.
It changes...but everyone's talking about SMT's like they're going to change the world and be so great... I think they will change things here, but I'm not sure I buy into the idea that they will change everything so immensely. They will likely take months to be adopted by most tools after they are finally implemented.
Most are going to fail, especially the early ones. But the market of them and the RC pools bites into the draw of bidbots potentially so changes it again. Some SMTs might use an oracle to not distribute to bought votes. Who knows.
