Talked with @kaliju and I'm back to support @dstors project

I shared my personal concerns about @dstors project yesterday - https://www.steeve.app/@project7/concerns-about-dstors-project. And today I got a sudden phone call from @kaliju and had a great conversation, and most of my concerns came from my lack of understanding about the project. Here are my few thoughts after the talk.

The beauty of the dStors idea comes from putting the power of utility token on "incentivising" after-commerce behaviours, not on "creating" an e-commerce currency.

I was failed to get this point in the beginning, and finally observed its promising vision. There are three important reasons why this is highly differentiated to the any other blockchain-powered commerce projects,

1. Sellors/Buyers on its platform still can accept the FIAT and other major cryptocurrencies. STORS token works only for incentivising the commerce transaction. This is definately never-existed in this world and I think it's only possible on the token economy model. STORS tokens can work as lowering the margin/price bar and promoting their loyalty on the dStor platform.

2. The STORS can have money value because it can be used for the upvoting values by STEEM or traded on BitShares. So this can be more "realistic" vision rather than saying "we-will-replace-FIAT/BTC-money."

3. STORS leverages the PoB reward pool (not directly utilise it) so it reduces its dependency on the many issues related to the STEEM reward pool. This is why they mentioned "for-profit enterprises" in its vision paper (it means how the dapp's BM is reliable on the reward pool itself or not).

Also, I've got many information by him about their UX work, preparations for the seller-side marketing plan, brief security token swap plan, even its starting project a year ago. Surely this team has prepared for a long time for this project. I won't disclose any of the content heard from him because I'm sure his team has a concrete communication strategy.

So, I've back to delegate on this project, and will seek if there's anything I can help for them. Thanks so much again for your call @kaliju. This proves that the team is highly professional and talented in coping with different voices.

p.s,: I still believe that the early start-up should be more acceptable about criticisms, and I don't think just flagging them won't help its success. Especially great improvements sometimes come from how they cope with criticisms. If @haejin and @starjuno are one of the main investors, please let the team handle about the issue rather than flagging the posts.
