I am glad if they are at least active on some chat channels and not leaving Steem in total.
While it might be dust, they are earning Steem, not Fiat and many are doing much, much better than others on the platform who are looking long. Investing into anything is risky, but undercutting one's own investment helps no one.
SMT has the potential to change a lot including that Steem does not need to be a POB coin but can be the financial mechanism layered for the Steem blockchain and the SMT's can POB their coin. But that is a totally different topic, where we all should work on :)
Yep, I agree and this is something I have been looking toward for a long time. However, at the moment it is a PoB coin and that means that it needs to be treated as such until which point the code changes.
