RE: What if MySpace added an SMT?

in #steem7 years ago

An SMT exists on the STEEM blockchain. There is no such thing as a centralized SMT unless the initial distribution is very lopsided. If MySpace decided to introduce an SMT of their own, they'd have to create a Steem account for each of their user. Of course, they could hard fork Steem and create a blockchain of their own.

Sort:  

They don't need to decentralize all control to users, they can maintain their centralized governance.

Yes, but the users won't be able to hold SMT tokens without having a Steem account. Do you mean that their SMT would be handled by having MySpace keep all the private keys? Or did you mean they'd they wouldn't be using a public blockchain at all but a centralized ledger?

Dunno, that is the point. They wouldn't want to give up control completely to users and they would likely want to keep much of their advertising model intact.
