The SMT whitepaper is an amazing place to get ideas. If you read the Steem whitepaper followed by the SMT whitepaper you will have a deep understanding, even though most of it may take time to understand.
To your point, some people don't have time or want to read that info. I'm planning to make some simpler videos talking about SMTs. It will be a good place for you to get some ideas.
Cheers
Most people's heads literally explode. Eyes totally glazed over. lol. I think SMT's will be cool.
Yeah, I need to read the white paper again. : )
