I have a feeling that all of these forks like Vice and now Smoke will discover that it's harder to find an investor base for the native token and they will most likely always depend on fresh code from the Steem devs. I see the vision from the SMT whitepaper and will continue to hold and invest in the original STEEM network. Happy forking.
