i have no idea there are tons of apps built on steem platform, it always just stick in my mind its a blogging platform which we were using for years for posting articles in exchanges for bounties.
agree on steem future, especially now after SMT introduction, and it is important to have development on-going
there were rumors that TRX will buy Steem, that influenced price increase since new year, but SMT introduction will have better impact due to their abilities and functionalities, number of tribes on the blockchain is increasing daily and that will increase price in the end...
i have also found out about this information on chat box. maybe its true because as far as i know that Dtube is already owned by TRON. it was promoted just recently when youtube was deleting those crypto youtube channels. but i'd like to known if anyone can shed us some more light on this rumor.
