Well, thanks for the encouragement @carlgnash! I really feel that Steem would benefit a lot — in terms of gaining a broader audience — from having some use cases that involve basic ecommerce like "normal" people use. I know there are plenty of "alternative living" people in the world who'd dig the chance to have a marketplace that operates outside conventional banking and online selling. So why not develop that? We have a super fast no-fee blockchain, and accounts here have actual names, not an impossible to remember string of letters and numbers. That's in our favor...
